Integrity Is a Gift of Self

Form of all the virtues
Appears as a school of the gift of the person
Self-mastery ordered to the gift of self
Leads him to become a witness to Eternal God’s fidelity and loving kindness

Chastity blossoms in friendship
Chastity is a promise of immortality
Chastity is expressed notably in friendship and one’s neighbor
Whether it develops between same or opposite sex

Friendship represents a great good for all
Leads to spiritual communion
