This photo was taken before the weather was warm. There are obviously no people "laying out" on the beach. However, as we celebrate the Memorial of St. Aloysius Gonzaga, I think it is a good time to reflect on the ways we keep our hearts, minds, and our bodies pure. The closing prayer in today's Liturgy of the Hours sums it up well for us when it states that we, "who have failed to imitate his innocence, may follow his example of penance." St. Aloysius gave us a good example to follow.
As the weather has warmed up significantly all across the country, the pools and beaches will see a flood of people. We can certainly enjoy the sunshine and warm temperatures that God has blessed us with on this first full day of summer. However, there can also be certain temptations that present themselves in a more tangible way under these circumstances. I simply ask one question today for your reflection. What are the steps you will take to maintain custody of your eyes?
