Women's Talk: The Law of the Gift & the Battle for Purity
CHASTITY IS A MATTER OF THE HEART-
“To love is to Will the good of another” CCC 1766, St. Thomas Aquinas
In its fullness: it's looking outward toward my beloved and seeking what is best for that person, not just what is good for me.” Freedom exists for the sake of love, meaning there are sacrifices we will need to make when we are in love. To live our relationships well we must often make sacrifices, surrendering our own will to serve the good of others.

*References to Made For Relationships (SPO), Men, Women and the Mystery of Love (Edward Sri), and Man and Women He Created Them (Karol Wojtyla)

Reflection Questions:
*Questions you may want to ask considering the objective aspect of love—
- Am I committed to this other person for who she is or for the enjoyment I receive from the relationship?
- Does my beloved understand what is truly best for me, and does he have the faith and virtue to help me get there?
- Are we deeply united by a common aim, serving each other, and striving together toward a common good that is higher than each of us? Or are we just living side by side, sharing resources and occasional good times together while we selfishly pursue our own interests and enjoyments in life?
