Modesty is so classy! If you want to look elegant and chic, modesty is the way to go. You'll never regret classy modest clothing, but you certainly can regret the immodest ones!
Perfect timing Amber! This is the encouragemnet I needed to continue my modesty journey! It's so comforting to know that they are other young Catholic women who want to go on this journey! Be assured of my prayers girl. Thank you!! 💕💕
Thank You for the great advice!!! It took me a long time to understand what was being advised to me from those around me about respecting myself better.
Hello! I am writing this comment to thank you! I have known you on RUclips for a year already, it has been a pleasure to follow you, thanks to your videos and your spontaneous clarity and simplicity your example has inspired me, by God's grace, to do the same. I opened a channel where, with my own style, I have a way to develop an online Catholic apostolate. Today there is a need to give witness with life, but also with works. In this time of confusion to remain faithful and close to the Eucharist, the Pope and the Church united to him, with the help of Mary, is very important in order not to be sidetracked. Thank you very much again! May God bless you! Greetings to you from Italy!
I know someone who looked at pr0n0graphy for many years and when they finally went to confession and repented, the trauma and scars and effects were still there. She literally couldn't look at men or women without those intrusive thoughts plaguing her. She wished that people could go back to Jesus' times and wear large cloaks and tunics because she didn't get those thoughts when people dressed like that. Wearing long jackets or skirts to cover one's backside is really helpful to people like that. Sorry to say, but pants can show too much, even jeans. Wearing a long loose Shawl, Pancho, T or Cardigan can also help out.
Hello, I understand where you are coming from, but I have to disagree. The Bible tells us not to be a block for our neighbors stumble, but Jesus also say that if your eye makes you to sin, pluck it out. If this woman is having these thoughts so gravely, maybe she should seek help, therapy, spiritual counseling, and prayers. I know I've been there, but I learned that with time and work it gets better. Don't avoid the inner work by frowning on your neighbors ways. The world is not going to adjust, the way is hard, leaving the world behind is hard, He said it would be.
Yes I agree, Many women and men don't practice modesty anymore not even in church. Women wear super tight jeans that show everything and men wear tight pants and Tshirts to show their muscles. Although anyone can fall into vanity, I'm especially concerned for the young girls. Most young girls do not have God fearing women in their lives to set a godly example for them on how to act like a real woman according to God's holy word. They are not taught anything about the great women of God in history like Queen Esther, Ruth, Deborah and the blessed mother of our God, Mary. I agree that women can wear jeans but not to the point where they are super tight and showing their buttom. As a women myself, I like to wear long blouses and long cardigans that cover my buttom. As follows of Christ we shouldn't call for attention because that comes from the evil one. Even when family members come especially men, I like to cover up. We should follow the example of Mother Mary. The more you focus on external beauty the more attractive you become, the more attractive you become the more people you will attract, the more people you attract, the more attention you will get. The more attention you get, the more important you feel. The more important you feel, the more important attraction becomes. You now stand on Satan's territory called Vanity.
I share that same experience, I went through that many years (I think) But I was getting prepared, stronger and I didn't realize it but, actually the consequences are done, Jesus has helped me to overcome all that. It keeps happening some time, but now is more an opportunity than an obstacle, We need to be confident in him, I mean, he's eternal/everlasting, before dinosaurs Jesus existed so, why do we not believe?
But that's not historically how people would dress in that era. Communal nudity was common enough that it went unmentioned, but it appears in historical art. The difference is the objectification, which is modern invention largely rooted in the Victorian era. For many centuries after Christ walked the Earth people were baptized (men, women, and children) in the nude in front of the entire church. So I think this is our modern mindset, framed by a Victorian redefinition of modesty, invading our mindsets.
"SOME GREAT ADVICE THERE SIS, THANKS BYEE!" 'UK LONDON, RESPONDING TO THIS HERE, AS A "CHRISTIAN HEBREW ISRAELITE HIJABI SCARF WEARER," OK?' 'BLESS U SIS, FROM ACROSS THE 'POND' HERE PRESENTLY TO U.'
As a male who is also a late bloomer (puberty) my default in public around women is look down, and focus on the ground. I usually use music to divert my attention from women dressed immodestly. I also find myself being highly scrupulous (I have OCD). So I have fallen into the trap of "testing", what I mean by this is if I accidentally glance at a woman who is dressed immodestly, my mind goes on the fritz and I'll think, did I just glance at her accidentally or was I willingly lusting after her. So I'll look again and compare, thank you for this video. Women and men need to dress more modestly.
32 years old and still single. I will never marry an immodest Girl. Still waiting for the girl of my dreams. Such a dying virtue in this day and age. Our Lady said in Fatima & Quito Ecuador. Where is modesty today?
I dress modestly, especially in church, but I personally like to keep practicality in mind however I dress. I sometimes wear yoga pants around the house, but I don't leave the house in them. Also, I don't think bathing suits are immodest as long as they are not bikinis or ones with halter necklines. I personally wouldn't want to wear long sleeve swim tops and swim pants because of wet sleeves or pant legs, because of sensory sensitivity for me.
When our Lady appeared in Fatima she told the children that many souls would go to hell because of fashions that would come out and offend our Lord gravely. What happened 20 years later..... Bathing suits came out. A good holy priest once said a good Catholic does not go to the beach. Why? Well all the sin that there is at the beach with how people dress and act.
If... You see someone dressed inappropriately you'd have already judged them... So... Jesus, have mercy of me, a sinner. For in your heart you might have already judged them instead of loving them with a sincere warm welcome. As if God would've if he was in your shoes. Parable of the tax collector. Thank you for the lovely video 😍🙏 Hope my awkward words help you. And if... You see someone judging my dress style you could lovingly tell me how it seems others judge me and that you'd be by my side even if you don't know what to do. (As Jesus protected prostitutes from being stoned from others). Giving us all an example of a lovely heart.
Quick question what do you do if you still like clothing that is has the connotation of being immodest? i wouldn’t wear them immodestly but i would layer up. Am i being immodest for even wanting to incorporate “immodest items” in my mind i feel like these items are being redeemed because i am wearing them in a way where they look beautiful and not lustful. Is this just wishful thinking on my part, because if the Lord can redeem us can’t the things around us also be redeemed to show its true beauty? I still don’t know how I feel about what it means to be modest especially when no one can agree on what that looks like. I like wearing bermuda shorts but there are people that would say it’s immodest because you can see the shape of my legs. I wish the Church would speak more about this topic especially contextualize Pope Pious XI guidelines on modesty for today’s norms and culture.
The best thing to do is pray for them and set an example for them. A lot of priests avoid certain topics such as modesty because some people find it offensive. But just like scripture says God didn't gave us a coward heart/spirit. Ask the Lord to help you and to see if it's your place to say anything, because priests are the ones that should say.
I don't know but I remember one time this girl in church wore a very short dress like almost underwear length but a hint longer. Anyways the priest refused to give her communion😅
@@GratiaPlena26 Bathsheba was not admonished for bathing in full sight of anyone who looked. Was she being immodest? No. Historically and culturally that was normal and would not have been cause for objectification due to it being commonplace. David, on the other hand, lusted after her which was the sin that began the whole escapade. So blaming Bathsheba for bathing on the porch is missing the greater point - David's lust was the sin, not public bathing.
I had an old hermit once tell me (I was wearing jeans and a shirt, but this was a TLM in Poland) re. my dress that women should be covered, had skirt/dress and head covering... I remember being surprised, but we had a great conversation and he asked me for a prayer for him, I did, but I still remember him from time to time in prayers and say a Hail Mary for him. I personally was grateful for him telling me bluntly... but that's how I am, I know there are women that are very sensitive and emotional and get easily offended ... I personally rather someone tell me as I'd want to know and we can have a talk/debate on it.... but that's me (although I think people should tell someone if something isn't appropriate e.g. I'm pretty sure women wouldn't be allowed in a mosque if they weren't dressed well). The best way is to change everyone, most women want to fit in, so if most women are modestly dressed, more want to follow suit as they don't want to feel weird.
One day while I was in high school (many moons ago), a girl came up to me while I was in the lunch room and suggested that I reconsider what I wear to school because of modesty. I thought she was pretty brazen, but at the same time I appreciated where she was coming from.
Hello, this was interesting! If you don't mind saying, what is your position on modesty and whether or not it should legally enforced? I spoke to one Catholic recently who thought we should punish women for wearing two-piece swimsuits at the beach, though feel that it isn't necessarily something a Catholic is required to advocate for
Im neither Christian nor Muslim but I’m not someone who wants to show a lot of skin, and I find you’re right about Muslim girls having steeper modesty standards. I usually follow them for inspo for that reason- esp if you follow Muslim women from hotter climates, you’ll be able to find a great selection of warm-weather covering pieces.
@Émile Asheton Are bikinis and shirtless men that bad? I mean isn't this a little bit exaggerating? Well, I won't insist on that. I was just wondering.

@@jessicai2298 Ask your and my mother Maria if you sin when you see a naked/bad clothed person. I am sure the answer will be: it depends. You can win the battle or you can lose it. It depends on your heart, your impulses, your reaction and decisions. Some of us have the peace of our Lord to overcome many things. The body was created by our Lord and original sin perverted them and our view on it. But Jesus Christ can heal our hearts.
@@Bastiat-xh9ge Sometimes you can't avoid looking at a bad clothed person. I don't think this is a grave sin. I mean if you care to avoid it how can this be a grave sin?
If someone wants to go to the church or mosque completely naked, what should they do? That means they have no freedom to wear what they want. It seems that my body my choice and freedom of expression doesn't work in church
Modesty means I am not a thing that you can see with your eyes. I am someone you have to hear and understand and care about.
Modesty is so classy! If you want to look elegant and chic, modesty is the way to go. You'll never regret classy modest clothing, but you certainly can regret the immodest ones!
It's interesting that most women find about modesty - or Christianity in general - when they come to a certain age, when the beauty fade away
Thanks for this. I definitely need to go through my closet and get rid of what I can’t wear anymore.

Girl I have a Catholic channel (not this account) and with uni and everything I can't find time to post yet here you are being amazing😭🙌
What is your channel name? ❤
God bless your efforts ... Wear Brown Scapular ... Modesty Grows. ... Ave Maria
honestly modesty is so freeing.. then i'm not worried about my appearance but about who i am as a person...not that hard to understand imo
Thank you so much for this video!!! God bless you!
I would posit that to follow the Blessed Mother's example is a perfectly fine box of modesty to squeeze everyone into. can't go wrong in that box.
So we should all wear floor length dresses with long sleeves and veils?
What does that even mean? Seriously?
Thank you for sharing!
Absolutely!!
Great video! I definitely need to reform my understanding of modesty, and this was very helpful.
Thanks for the vídeo. God bless you
