Modesty: The Forgotten Virtue

I have been very fortunate to have met a wonderful lady named Cassandra Poppe.  She has designed and created a wonderful program to teach children how to pray the Rosary and the virtues associated with the Rosary.  It is called The Rosary Quilt.  I have worked with Cassandra over the past year as she has looked for a publishing company and then worked to get a website up and running for this program.  I will be making the actual quilts and will also carry the books.  She will carry the books and the quilt kits on her site, Intercessories Family Ministries.

 Why do I tell you this?  Well, it’s very simple.  One of the ways to develop the virtue of modesty is to develop a strong relationship and devotion to our mother Mary.  She is the perfect example of modesty for us to look at and follow.

Cassandra has listed a site that has a wonderful article on Modesty in Dress.  While Bishop Pivarunas wrote this in 1996, he was right on the money with what he said!  Our society is very “anti-modest”.  We must take care to teach our young daughters to dress modestly and respect their bodies.  We must teach our young sons to respect women, to appreciate them for the beauty within. 

 Our society is in trouble, so we must stand by our beliefs, uphold our Faith and stand firm in the face of Satan.  We cannot give in to popular dress or Satan will win this war.

 I’ll be listing more articles and sites to help you in your modesty journey as I find them.  In the mean time, check out the above letter and pray on the direction God wants you to take in this! 

 Peace be with you!
