The virtue and chastity of manhood is another. Youth is the time to lay the foundation for our homes. I know there are those who tell you that suppression is wrong, but I assure you that self-mastery, not indulgence, is the virtue that contributes to the virility of manhood and to the beauty of womanhood. In your studies, you students, keep yourselves free from the tendencies that will arouse your physical passions, and you will have increased intellectual energy. You know, as every man and woman knows, that chastity is the crown of beautiful womanhood, and when you seek the girl of your choice, you want a woman of virtue.
Chastity is the foundation of a happy home.
Your marriage begins in purity that she who kneels there at the altar is as worthy of motherhood as the purest of virgins. A marriage thus commenced is as eternal as love, the divinest attribute of the human soul you who question temple marriage as possibly a mere dogma of the Church, let me ask you to name the most divine, most precious virtue known to man. I have named it. It is love. Let me ask you another question.
