be, even inadvertently, the cause of even a venial sin in them. However, out of Christian charity this attitude should be extended to any man. Every Christian woman should want to avoid being an occasion even of unbecoming thoughts or venial sins of frailty in this realm. But that of course requires a profound love for chastity. A woman who does not have that love, will often be oblivious to her own impurities and careless of causing them in others, while a woman who, through prayer and self-denial, discovers the price and beauty of being chaste, instinctively covers herself in a dignified way, thereby finding peace in her soul, a peace that then emanates from her very person and has a profound effect on those around her. As for sunbathing, if a doctor prescribes it, you will comply by doing so in a closed space. It does not have to be done on a beach. However, if you live in Australia, I doubt such a prescription will be forthcoming! With my blessing, Your Father in Christ 91
