What is integer in Math?

Do you know that the word integrity come from the
same root word, integer, meaning “whole.”
One of the greatest compliments you could receive
is to be called a person of integrity.
Integrity requires honesty and authenticity in what
you say or do.
Do you know the Church term for
integrity in sexuality?
CHASTITY
What is chastity?
It is a virtue that requires integration of our
sexuality with the whole person –
Body, mind, and Spirit.
Who is called to chastity?
Every person, single or married, is called
to be CHASTE,
to be healthy and honest,
to respect sexuality of self and others.
Chastity does take practice.
The Church has more hope and higher expectations
for you.
The Church teaches us to practice chastity.
Practicing sexual integrity and chastity is
easier if we develop attitudes that form our
conscience the right way and help us live
according to what we know is right.
What is the sixth beatitude?
“Blessed are the pure of heart,
for they shall see God.”
This is the message of Jesus that fulfills the
6th and 9th Commandments.
What does it mean to be pure of heart?
The CCO refers to the heart as the seat of
moral personality.
Forming our conscience is the work of the head,
but our heart “enables us to see according to
God:…. (Purity of heart) lets us see the human body
as a temple of the Holy Spirit,
a manifestation of divine beauty”
(CCO, 2519)
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (or CCC) is a catechism promulgated for the Catholic Church by
Pope John Paul II in 1992.[2][3] It sums up, in book form, the beliefs of the Catholic faithful.
The Catholic Ten Commandments are a summary of
"the conditions of a life freed from the slavery of
sin" (Catechism, 2057).
They must be understood in relation to the
"law of love":
Love of God and love of neighbor summarize all of
Catholic morality.
(Mt 22:40).
A Catholic examination of conscience traditionally
follows the outline of the Ten Commandments.
It's important for a good examination of
conscience to be thorough. This will help you learn
about things that you may not be aware of. It's
also a chance to develop your conscience.

To make an examination:
1. Set aside some quiet time for reflection.
2. Start by praying to the Holy Spirit, asking for
help in making a good examination to prepare
for Confession.
3. Read through the items on this list and honestly
reflect on your behavior for each item.
4. If necessary, take this list or some brief notes
(keep them private!) to Confession to help you
remember things.
