Obviously I wrote this one for the benefit of others, because as my wife (who might check this blog at any moment) knows perfectly well, I've never "looked" at another woman in that way since the day I met her. I'll pray for the rest of you, though :)EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-4539672928919066452012-02-16T13:17:36.802-05:002012-02-16T13:17:36.802-05:00Great post.

In it, one of the main characters, Father Chet, discusses the priestly practice of seeing the Blessed Mother in all women, and also seeing their beauty as a glimpse of God. He expresses it better than I do. But it's as you said: it's ‘gaining custody of the eyes.’ And your post is a good one to pass to teens; I'll have mine read it. The girls can benefit too: if they're not in the "looking" category, they are in the "Am I dressing modestly?" category. And at our church, we all still use the "near occasion of sin" translation for the Act of Contrition. It's a good one.Rocket Scientisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04288373796495213700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-32598786137531101272012-02-16T10:45:45.880-05:002012-02-16T10:45:45.880-05:00Excellent post - thank you!

And admittedly, I have been guilty of some less-than-pure thoughts when looking at some men (I don't know why, but Pitbull really does something for me....don't ask. And yes I know he's a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE misogynist). I try very hard to reign this in, especially when I expect my husband to do so. I never really thought of trying to "see past", and "looking purely at others"; it was always just "don't look!". <br />Hard to do, but definitely something to work towards!<br /><br />And btw..... ya gotta love Adrian Brody's response to his girlfriend when she caught him with Dren.....<br />lolAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667449880888064694noreply@blogger.com
