“On several occasions you were alerted to the scars and to the blemishes that sin leaves upon your Soul. Not being able to see the Soul physically, can reduce one’s feeling of reality in how one’s Soul can be the victim of all offenses against God, against one’s fellow being.

Awareness of right from wrong, good from evil, automatically must say that a decision in either way must affect some part of our being or we would not be so knowledgeable in the differences between right and wrong, good and evil.

Many of us so often strive for success, physical, mental, monetary, sometimes to the point where we almost totally orient our thinking and our actions on desiring fame and fortune for ourselves. This in itself is not wrong, but how it is attained, if it is attained by us, makes all the difference in the world to its moral or immoral acquisition.

As we look in a mirror we see ourselves as we appear to others. The mirror, like some pictures of ourselves, does not give us the full dimension of how we look, nor does it show what we think, how we think, our intentions, our decisions of right or wrong, good or evil.

Portrayed in a film that we are about to see, there is a moral to the story that should not be passed up or passed by as merely fictional, as just someone’s imagination to create an entertaining money-making film. Granted, this picture of Dorian Gray exaggerates how a person can sin so greatly and show little or no effects to the naked eye, yet supposedly leaving the physical unscathed, untouched. In reality, sin many times shows in different ways, through the need for medication because of contacted diseases, in the obvious lack of moral actions, moral thinking, and in the fiendish practice of mental and physical abuse.

We must always remember that our physical takes on signs of time, signs of our habits, signs of our social likes and dislikes, signs of our moral code of ethics. Along with the changes in our physical thinking, actions, appearance, it would be wise to see how our physical life, in all it is, all it does, all it encounters, all it practices, affects a very Important Part of our being, our Soul. Our physical appearance is important to us, but we must never omit the importance that how we live physically projects the effects of our physical behavior to our Soul.

Picture in your mind the possible condition of your Soul now. Could you, in your Christian beliefs, in your Faith in God, in your knowledge of what the Purpose of life is, would you want God to see your ‘Soul’ in Its present condition, understanding that as He Is All Truth, All Justice, All Purity, would He have to decide the fate of your Soul
be to spend time in Purgatory, or would He be forced to condemn you to Hell?

It is something to think about, and it is not something that should be ignored, because your physical life with your intellect, your will, and your ability to make decisions with your will, should substantiate any and all questions you might ever have, as to which decision would please God most, and which decision would protect your Soul from any scathing or blemishes.”
