416 Purity of Heart and Body

416.

Purity of Heart & Body



Human body must be treated with respect

For through it we find the image of the Perfect

Thinking and doing about it wickedly

Can lead to sin against chastity

Do not tempt and do not be tempted

Our body's not an object, not a bed

Our body's a temple, the temple of God!
