Sins of the Flesh: More Souls Go to Hell

If we can understand the seriousness of the sins of the flesh, we must certainly understand the seriousness of obtaining purity.

"Fly fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body. 19 Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God; and you are not your own? 20 For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body." - 1 Corinthians 6:18-20

“More souls go to hell because of sins of the flesh than for any other reason.” - Our Lady of Fatima

"Among adults there are few saved because of sins of the flesh. With the exception of those who die in childhood, most men will be damned." - St. Remigius

"In the realm of evil thoughts none induces to sin as much as do thoughts that concern the pleasure of the flesh." - St. Thomas Aquinas

"Mary's sorrow was less when she saw her only Son crucified, than it is now at the sight of man offending Him by sin." - St. Ignatius of Loyola

"When we were little, we kept close to our Mother in a dark alley or if dogs barked at us. Now, when we feel temptations of the flesh, we should run to the side of our Mother in Heaven, by realizing how she is to us, and by means of aspirations. She will defend us and lead us to the light." - St. Josemaria Escriva
