that is a danger to purity. You can easily give serious temptation to others when you are careless about modesty, and if you know what you are doing, God will hold you responsible.

6. Pray to Our Lady
I have tried to help you. In return, there is something I want you to do for me. From now on, each night before you get into bed, I want you to say one Hail Mary to Our Lady to ask her to keep you pure. Do that, and do it all your life. Never miss.

Our Lady is the model of purity, and this is the reason why. She is the Mother of God, so God made her perfect in body and in soul, to make her fit to be His Mother.

He made her soul sinless from the first moment of her conception in the womb of St Anne. He made her body perfect and kept her always a virgin. This means that Our Lady conceived Our Lord without receiving the seed of man, and gave birth to Him without any opening of her womb. In the Apostles' Creed, we say that Our Lord 'was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary'; and in the Catechism, we say 'Jesus Christ had no father on earth; St Joseph was only His guardian or foster-father'. It was done by the power of God, by a miracle.

In this way, God has made Our Lady the model of purity for everyone. For married people, because she is the Mother of God: for unmarried people, because she remained a virgin, as you must be until you marry.

God calls most people to marry, and marriage is a real vocation. In fact, it is one of the seven Sacraments. But to some girls He gives the special vocation to live singly and to remain virgins for His sake, as nuns or in ordinary life. You must follow whichever way God calls. That is the best way to heaven for you.

There, I think I have explained everything. But come and talk to me about these things whenever you like. I'll do my best to help you.
