COURAGEOUSLY PURE
After hearing the talk on purity, take few minutes to reflect. St. Paul in his letter to the Romans
gives us this advice:
“I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and pleasing to God, your spiritual worship. Do not conform yourselves to this age but be
transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is
good and pleasing and perfect.”
—Romans 12:1

Let us ask ourselves how far have we gone in obeying the Lord in his call to live pure? The five
point purity test may aid you to do self-examination.
Do I refrain from engaging myself to sexual activities for pleasure and personal
satisfaction?
___Always ___Often ___Sometimes ___Never
Do I refrain from using others’ body as objects of my sexual desires?
___Always ___Often ___Sometimes ___Never
Do I refrain from reading, watching or listening to various materials in the internet with
sexual content?
___Always ___Often ___Sometimes ___Never
Do I feel guilt every time I commit sin against purity?
___Always ___Often ___Sometimes ___Never
Am I willing to practice purity/chastity in response to God’s Loving call?
___Always ___Often ___Sometimes ___Never
In your heart, there is a great desire to live pure and follow the ways of God. Concretize it by
writing your own PURE promise to the Lord. Write a one liner you wish to utter to the Lord in
your desire to live a pure life.
In conclusion, talk to the Lord in prayer and ask for his grace to be faithful to the promise you
have just made.
Father, inflame my heart and my inmost being with the fire of Your Holy Spirit, that I may
serve You with chaste body and pure mind. Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Activity #2
Direction: The elder of the Family will lead the Opening prayer. After the opening prayer; the
family will now proceed with the sharing. The Family can use a symbol that represent the family
and give it to the sharer. Closing prayer will be led by the student member of the family.
Opening Prayer
Lord Jesus, be with my family. Grant us Your peace and harmony, an end to conflict and
division. Gift us with the compassion to better understand each other, the wisdom and love to
assist each other, and the trust and patience to live peacefully together. Grant that, through the
intercession of Your Mother, Mary and St. Joseph our family too may become a holy family,
accepting each other, working together in unity, and selflessly dedicated to one another and to
You. Amen
Make a family tree with your child to teach him/her about his/her personal history.
Directions: Collect photos of the people you want to include in your family tree.
Before you draw your tree on poster board, sketch it on scrap paper.
Show your child and his/her siblings at the bottom of the tree and work your way up the
branches to show his/her extended family.
Glue each photo in its proper spot onto the tree and label it with the name and birth
date of the person pictured.
You might also note marriage and death dates if you like.
Post your family tree in a prominent place where the whole family can admire it.
We hope that we join hands together in promoting Christian Values among our learners. Thank
you and may the good Lord bless us all.
