What care must we take of our bodies?
We must take care of the life and health of our bodies, and must avoid what would injure or destroy them.
Why must we take more care of our soul than of our body?
We must take more care of our soul than of our body, because in losing our soul we lose God and everlasting happiness.
"What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his own soul." Matt. 16:26.
What must we do to save our souls?
To save our souls we must worship God by faith, hope, and charity; that is, we must believe in Him, hope in Him, and love Him with all our heart.
