We must be convinced that nothing adorns a human soul with greater splendour than the virtue of chastity and nothing defiles a human soul more than the opposite vice. Yet the glory of chastity is not in immunity from temptation–it is in victory over temptations. A chaste person is not free from temptations but overcomes them.
–Mother Teresa, Thirsting for God

About lamehousewife
poetry, articles, thoughts, and quotes... on a quest to be authentic in my motherhood, sisterhood, and daughterhood, but i can tend to become Juvenalian sometimes, maybe in writing but also in life, reading Swift's "A Modest Proposal" as if i were hearing a friend speak to me about the how ridiculous some ideas can become, especially when they begin to drift into reality, mocking all of us really... i identify with Mary Magdalene, James, and Peter and am extremely grateful for that woman who said, "Yes!"...oh and i can be pretty lame...blessings to you, dear reader...pray for a single mother, her children, and the father of her children today!
