CatherineM Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Stinging nettles, and burning logs. Nothing about chastity comes easy. Didn't St. Dsyphemia get beheaded rather than give into her father? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prose Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 By the way, that is St. Margaret of Antioch I believe, but I think there is another St. Margaret that is a patron saint of chastity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was with him for ten years and had a son with him. St. Francis of Assissi and St. Jerome struggled with chastity too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I suggest that anytime distracting thoughts of an unchaste nature enter your mind, immediately pray an Our Father, Hail Mary and GLory Be. Sometimes it takes several of those but, eventually the thoughts will disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommas_boy Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 In addition to saintly intercession, may I also suggest the accountability software at www.x3watch.com (a free version is available), as well as finding some good accountability partners. In college, we had a group of us guys that all fasted a day when one of us fell ... great help. Prayers, bro! St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and ensnares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray. Oh prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all of the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.

White Knight Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 (edited) Our Blessed Virgin Mother Mary,[b] ya she was sinless, but turning to her helps for chastity proposes, Pray the Rosary, however if you want to get personal, pray personal prayers to her, Mary will petition to Jesus. [/b] Saint Mary Magdelene [b]"The Penitent" she was just caught in the act of Adultrey. She turned from her ways, and lived a very faithful life for the rest of her life. She could help. in this area [/b] Saint. Bertilia: [b]Foundress and noble virgin. She and her bridegroom took vows of chastity and remained virgins. When her husband died, Bertilia lived as a hermitess near the church that she had founded at Maroeuil, France. [/b] Saint. Helenus of the Desert: [color="#000080"][b]I followed the way of chastity and moderation, honed by the practice of fasting and prayer, to quell the temptations of the flesh. God provided what I needed when I needed. I visited other monks. My load was heavy, and in the name of Jesus, I enlisted wild donkeys to carry my burden. On another occasion, I visited a monastery for Sunday service. But there was to be none, because of river crocodiles. To conduct services, I told a crocodile in Jesus’ name to give me a ride on its back to see the Presbyter. It did so. But the Presbyter was too frightened to come. God gave me the ability to read souls and spirits, as well as to stop evil spirits from tormenting. [/b][/color] Saint. Ammon: [color="#0000FF"][b]Monastic founder, sometimes called Amon, Amun, or Amus. An Egyptian living in or near Alexandria, he was forced into a marriage at the age of twenty-two. He asked his wife to take a vow of chastity on their wedding night and they lived as brother and sister for eighteen years. His wife then formed a congregation of women religious, and Ammon went to the desert area south of Alexandria. There Ammon founded or aided in the development of a great religious community called "The City of God" by St. Jerome. By the end of the fourth century there were five thousand hermits in the community. St. Anthony came to visit Ammon, whose holiness attracted countless solitaries. When Ammon died at the age of sixty-two, St. Anthony, who was some thirteen miles distant, saw his soul ascend to heaven. [/b][/color] Hope some of these helped.

Bertilia[/url][/b] PS: Pray the Our Lord's Prayer, Hail Mary, and or Saint Michael Prayer this helps. Also if your schedule permits it, try to attend Daily Mass, that often helps I know from experience. God Bless, Pax Christi.
