Purity

Description

The concept of purity is one that has often raised questions regarding its true purpose and practicality in our society. In fact, the life of purity seems to be something that involves restricting one’s natural desires, leading one to question why a God who created such desires also seemingly asks us to restrict them. This then raises many questions:

Can one be truly pure in our world?

Do I need to withdraw from the world in order to be pure?

Can I get married and still lead a life of purity?

Does purity mean I’ll lead a boring life?

Fr Tadros Yacoub Malaty presents this text on purity, clarifying how the life of purity is ultimately a gift from God that allows us to be united with Christ. Despite what the world might teach, the life of purity is truly a life of interior freedom, whereby one can live in Christ and for Christ without the chains tying us to the world. Although it may seem to be a life of restriction at first, this book sees Abouna break down how the life of purity is a life of joy and fullness, and how it is really the only way to live as a Christian, whether one is married or unmarried. Rediscover what purity really is in the eyes of the Lord as you come to understand how our lives are so much more than just our earthly existence and desires. The book includes both an examination of the concept of purity, as well as answers to common youth questions surrounding purity and the spiritual life.
