Zenit News Agency - Chastity Talks
"Beyond that, I often think of the battle in Second Kings, verse 6, where a servant approaches Elisha and complains that their troops were overwhelmingly outnumbered. Elisha replied, 'Fear not, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.'
He then prayed, 'O Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see.' The servant immediately saw the mountain filled with fiery horses and chariots around Elisha, and these angels let them to complete victory.
So, before chastity talks, I often look out to the crowd of 1,400 high school students. Then, I recall the presence of 1,400 guardian angels, ready to intercede for them throughout the talk. Suddenly, you don't feel so outnumbered in a public school auditorium."
And they say the Jews don't believe in the communion of saints.
Oremus pro invicem
