Ep. 100 | Is Purity Really Possible?

from Meditations · host Called to More

Is purity really possible, or is it a battle we are doomed to lose? In this meditation, Fr Gavan addresses one of the hardest struggles in the Christian life: chastity. He explains why sins against purity are uniquely difficult, what it means to avoid the occasions of sin, and why God's grace is not optional but essential in this particular fight. Drawing on the wisdom of Our Lady and the Book of Wisdom, he offers a clear and honest word of hope: purity is not only possible, it is worth every bit of the struggle.🔴 THIS SERIESMeditations | Ep. 100Meditations is a weekly podcast with Fr Gavan Jennings produced by Called to More.
