ACTIVITY 1

Too often we approach questions about chastity from a negative standpoint. We ask ourselves, How
much can we do before I have to go to confession. But if thats the question were asking, the battle is
already half lost.

Partly because the farther we go, the harder it is to stop, both physically and emotionally. Most of us
understand the physical part of the problem. A romantic kiss between a man and a woman as opposed
to a peck on the cheek isnt just a kiss. Its the beginning of the gift of self.

For a moment, we share breath with another person. For a moment, we share life. Thats serious
business entertaining business, mind you, but not mere entertainment. We shouldnt treat it like it is.
At least for women, the more serious smooching we do, the more of our hearts we give. And the more
we give our hearts, the more we want to give everything else.
