Holies Given for the people who want to be Holy ( Part 2 of many)
Holies are given for the people who want to be holy (Part 2 of
many)
My beloved who is tempted by different kind of sexual temptations,
for you I am writing. Who is church for? Church is for YOU, as I am sure you want to be holy
even if you are not now. The tips I am going to share with you are from your brothers
and sisters who overcame sexual temptations over time.
First, Thank God every time you fall, as he came for you and
for you he is giving His Body and Blood. Remember the story of the monk who
was asked by someone, “What are you doing in the monastery?” The monk replied “I fall and rise up.” Yes, he falls and God (Christ is risen) raises him up.
Another tip is to start to inject in your mind words of blessing,
so they can purify the scenes, words which are not for the sons and daughters of
light.
The third tip to consider is to decorate your room with the saying
of saints, like the famous saying of St. Moses the Great: “Repentance turns
adulterers and adulteresses into virgins,” also, “Remember the heavenly kingdom
so its desire can move in your heart” or can ignite your heart.
