In the battle for chastity, strength and courage are often mentioned as powerful weapons. Yet, I believe that humility is the greatest virtue of all. It’s the ability to break down our walls, barriers, and shields in front of Christ – and to allow Him to enter our lives. It’s loving and Trusting the Lord enough so that He can work miracles within our bodies, our minds, and our souls. Here, I always keep in front of me the image of Christ washing the feet of the Apostles. I pray, not so much to be like Christ in this scene, but, to be like Peter. To simply sit still and allow the Lord to care for me; to show me His tender love; and to be willing to accept it. For, oftentimes, when we have been spinning within the grimy pits of addiction, it’s always difficult to let someone else into our shameful world of darkness. But, the only way out – is by welcoming the cleansing waters of Jesus Christ.
