What Vigilance Should Those That Are Married Have?

Do not feed behaviors and do not bring immorality into your marriage nor your home.

pe_rogerGod does not call us to impurity, but to holiness. Therefore, to despise this precept is not to despise man, but God who gave us the Holy Spirit.

The Word calls us to attention on the vigilance that we need  to have for holiness in the middle in what we live, in the Church where we are.

The parable of the 10 virgins, shows us 5 who are prudent, those that are watching, caring for themselves, caring for their body, their soul and their spirit, their personal discipline. And five imprudent those that are led by the time, letting things happen and not caring for themselves.

The Word calls us to live holiness, because that is the will of God. He wants us to flee from every form of impurity. speaking directly to those that are married, holiness needs to be lived in marriage.

What vigilance should the married have? Those that are called to live married love, that they may not have a duplicitous life, neither the man nor the woman. They do not feed feelings, they do not feed behaviors, they do not carry impurities, immoralities inside of their married, inside of their home.

Be careful with pornography, be careful with immoral thing that come from diverse channels that want to cast out purity from what is holy: Marriage according to the will of God.

Single and married, chastity and purity are ideals of life and are not easy to live. Therefore, vigilance needs to be done by all of us.

Today, God reminds us that we are the place where the divine lives. He tells us that we cannot fool anyone. We cannot feed feelings for someone if you cannot commit to him, do not feed hope when you cannot bring it to completion.

That God remove from life of those that are called to holiness of marriage all forms of duplicity, error, and danger of adultery. And I also say, that none of us that are the Church can find ourselves falling into this temptation.

We are first invited to be vigilant in this sense, in order that we may not be the cause of anyone falling.

Lord, keep us in purity and in holiness.

God Bless You
