Love Women, Fight Porn

Praying to End Pornagraphy: Calgary, Alberta Canada from OneBillionStories.com on Vimeo.


[God] assigns as a duty to every man the dignity of every woman: and simultaneously... he also assigns to every woman the dignity of every man. - Pope John Paul II

There are good men in this world as this video demonstrates.  We ladies should encourage them in striving for holiness and authenticity.  Men need to hear things like this from women:

We believe that you are strong and capable.  We believe that you are made for more than treating yourself and us as objects.  We believe that you can live up to the high expectations of being holy men of God ready to protect, defend and honor all that is true, good and beautiful. Too often the deceiver's lies have crept into your heart making you believe that you are not capable of living up to the mission you have been given; that you aren't good enough or strong enough to be a real man; that you're not needed or that we won't appreciate your self-sacrifice and love you in return.  But we know that with God's grace you have the ability to be who God made you to be.  You were made to be an icon of the sincere gift of self that Jesus Christ gave on the cross for his bride, the Church.  We need your help in knowing who we are as women and the best way you can help us is to know who you are as a man.  Don't let a fear of failure stop you from greatness.  Don't let regret from past mistakes stop you from receiving God's forgiveness and strength.  We believe in you - even if you find yourself in the midst of struggle, we believe that by God's grace and mercy the sins and vices in your life can be overcome and you can be free of whatever is holding you back from becoming the man God has made you to be.  Remember that it's all by God's grace and you were made for more.  The world needs real men to stand up and defend the truth, to be humble before God, to show women that we are worthy of being cherished and protected, to be warriors of goodness - you can do this - God has already put this desire in you and we know you can live it.  Thank you to all the men out there striving for authentic masculinity.  We need your witness because by your gift we are reminded of God's very love poured out for us.
