Chastity and Its Role in Strengthening Our Faith | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Valentine's Day is a day for love and romance, but many can be confused by their desires. The virtue of chastity is one that we can strive to incorporate into our lives. Joining us to talk more about chastity and how it can bring us closer to God is Anna Carter, the co-founder and president of Eden Invitation, an outreach to millennial Catholics experiencing same-sex attraction. Anna shares her story and explains what kept her in the Catholic Church. She discusses the Catechism’s definition of chastity, which speaks to the integration of sexuality within the person, creating unity between one’s bodily and spiritual being. She emphasizes the need to be aware of the whole picture in one’s life when striving for chastity. Anna also talks about the struggles young people face with their sexuality and what she tells them when they have questions about attraction and desire. Reflecting on studies from the Institute for Family Studies, she discusses how waiting for marriage can lead to a more successful and happier marriage, especially as marriage rates continue to decrease. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
