 Subject: Regarding today's new type of epidemic and dignity !
Purify My Heart,O Lord Pornography is not new, but it has become a kind of plague in our society, reaching epidemic proportions. It is widespread on the internet, televison, movies and videos, now on cell phones and other hand held devices, many marketed to children and youth. Pornography has become the secret entertainment of many people of all ages, walks of life, and economic background. Internet pornoraphy is perhaps the fastest growing addiction in the world. Pornography perverts the beauty of intimate love proper to marriage, presenting images of the body and sexual acts for base pleasure--regarding other persons as objects to be used, manipulated, and sold. It is a multi-billion dollar industry and does grave injury to the dignity of its participants (actors, vendors, consumers). Use of pornography robs us of sanctifying grace, separatesus from God and from the goodness of others, and leaves us spiritually empty. Attraction to pornography and its gratifications is a false 'love' that leads to increasing emotional isolation, loneliness, and finally sexual acting-out with self and others. It depends on the exploitation of other persons. Use of pornography has cost persons their job, their marriages, and families Excepted from "Blessed are the Pure Of Heart ", by Bishop Finn, Kansas City For the whole document , please visit site: Do you or someone you know need help in freedom from pornography? Breathe in me, Holy Spirit, that all my thoughts may be holy. Draw my heart, Holy Spirit, that I may love only what is holy. Strengthen me, Holy Spirit, to defend all that is holy. Guard me, Holy Spirt, that I may always be holy. From: St. Augustin Was copied from the Sunday church bulletin, Holy Name Of Jesus, Laval, Quebec, Canada Maria Fiore Pilon |
