Father John LoCoco joins Deacon Patrick Conley to discuss Purity: Lessons from St. Maria Goretti

• Story of St Maria Goretti.
• (5:44) Why is St Maria Goretti so important to our lives today?
• (13:25) Jerry - I am an attorney. Had a young lady come to me asking for a name change so she could no longer be tailed by the guy who was violating her. The name she chose was Maria Goretti. We got her name change 6 years ago on the feast of Maria Goretti. Thought it would be interesting given what you're talking about today.
• Difference between Purity and Chastity

(21:01) Break 1

• (22:40) Donna - When Maria Goretti was murdered. Locals were mad at him. When Maria appeared to him in prison, he eventually repented. He took care of her mother. He would have probably been in hell, but repented and was forgiven. Important to keep in mind with capital punishment.
• (32:23) Email from LJ – How can we bring back our daughter to come back to the faith?
• (35:18) email from Connie – I find that having more time alone was really helpful to bring my husband and I together first.

(38:17) Break 2

• How does Lust lead to anger?
• (45:56) Sonya Maria - How do you convince a mother-in-law that pornography...just looking at it...is wrong?
• (48:17) Custody of the eyes.
