Who do you look to as an example for purity? In this video, young Catholics talk about the Saints that inspire them to live purity. We hear about the example of St Joseph - who despite living in Israel 2000 year ago, is example of living a manly and pure life for every modern male. We also hear the story of St Maria Goretti, which may seem exceptional, but modern women today are increasingly faced with the same dilemmas against purity.

This video, produced by spiritjuice, is an excerpt from CateQUIZ'em! - an interactive DVD-based video curriculum for middle and high school catechesis. The content of each annual volume is put into the context of the four pillars of the Church - Creed, Sacraments, Morality, and Prayer.

I have a strong devotion to St. Joseph and always ask him to pray for me that I will be a good father and husband and have the virtue of chastity according to my state in life. I don't know whether I have been a good father and husband (I tried to be) but the other virtue has been granted to me because I have never been unchaste in my married life. That's 50 years now this coming January. Thank you St. Joseph for your prayers and intercession! Thank you Mother Mary for the graces we have received. Thank you, Almighty God in the Most Holy Trinity for your love and grace!
