In the ascent towards holiness and happiness, a Catholic man must build the good habits (Virtue, from the Latin, vir, meaning “manliness, moral strength, goodness, valor”) of the moral life and break the bad habits (Vice, from the Latin, vitium, meaning “defect, offense, blemish, imperfection”) which cause him to fall into sin and risk losing his salvation. The Church provides a comprehensive list of Virtues which fall into two major categories: Theological Virtues (Supernatural) and Cardinal Virtues (Human). 

Because it is impossible for a mere man ascend to Heaven on his own ability, God grants every Catholic man the supernatural help to grow in Virtue through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit which are freely available to every Catholic man who remains in a state of grace; even if a Catholic man falls into mortal sin and loses the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, he can repent, confess his sins in the Sacrament of Penance and return to a state of grace and regain access to the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. 

What a man needs to break Vice and build Virtue is to come to understand Vice and Virtue and then seek God’s help.

Thank you for praying the Litany of Chastity. 

If you would like to go further in battling lust and pornography in your life, please see the new series: Partnering with God to Battle Pornography 40-Day Devotional.

There will be a complete audio series in the future, and episodes are currently being posted regularly. 

While it may take some time for the podcasts to be available, the full series is now available online!

This 40-day devotional series is designed to help you understand the grave dangers of pornography and to learn how to grow in freedom and happiness by partnering with God in the battle porn.

Pornography is not only a bad habit or a biological impulse. It is part of a deep spiritual battle. It damages a man’s soul, mind, emotions, body, behaviors, and relationships. Over time, a man who repeatedly uses pornography becomes a Pornified Man.

But by the grace of God, he can become a chaste man.

Each day in this series, we will draw from Scripture, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, Catholic moral teaching, the Virtues, the wisdom of the saints, and practical, up-to-date research on forming habits and practices to eradicate pornography from your life.

The goal is to help you move from slavery to pornography toward true and lasting happiness in the freedom of heroic sexual self-control and the Virtue of Chastity.

If you’d like to read along or study later, episode notes include references to the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. You can find a full transcript nearby, along with other helpful resources.
