“On one occasion, I saw Satan hurrying about and looking for someone among the sisters, but he could find no one. I felt an interior inspiration to command him in the Name of God to confess to me what he was looking for among the sisters. And he confessed, though unwillingly, “I am looking for idle souls [cf. Si. 33:28; Pr. 12:11].” When I commanded him again in the Name of God to tell me to which souls in religious life he has the easiest access, he said, again unwillingly, “To lazy and idle souls.” I took note of the fact that, at present, there were no such souls in this house. Let the toiling and tired souls rejoice.”
Modesty is a virtue, but it does nothing to stop someone else from committing the sin of lust.
St. Maria Goretti was the poster girl for holiness when she was alive, super modest and charitable and all that jazz, but that didn’t stop porn-addicted Alessandro from trying to rape her.
Countless virgin martyrs, such as St. Agnes, were virtuous Christian women, but they were sexually assaulted for their faith and/or for choosing celibacy.
St. Dymphnia was killed for refusing to marry her unstable and incestuous father.
When modesty is discussed in Scripture, it is explained as an outward expression of inward holiness. When lust is discussed, it is explained as displaced sexual desire and attention to anyone who is not your spouse. When one subject is discussed, the other is not.
This is why people need to stop talking about how important it is for people – ESPECIALLY women – to dress in a way to prevent lust in men. That’s not how lust works. That’s not the function of modesty. A woman may act and/or dress in a way so as to purposely seduce someone, but dressing modestly in itself is not a defense mechanism to “protect” you from the lust of men. To say such a thing not only spits in the face of our spiritual sisters in Christ who were assaulted for their faith, but it also ignores the true purpose of modesty and the true seeds of lust. Covering up most of your figure and skin won’t stop someone from hiking up your skirt, or imagining what you might look like anyway.
There are many good reasons to practice modesty. Preventing lust is not one of them.
Once again, I (Maureen) see a Great Flame that I have come to know as
the Heart of God the Father. He says: “Children, today, I transcend
time and space and enter the realm of My Creation to address My Remnant
Faithful. I call upon My Remnant to be united in the Truths of the
Tradition of Faith. Do not be persuaded – any of you – into compromise.
Do not oppose one another on matters of no account. Remember, Satan
fosters controversy.”
“It is this Remnant I am counting on to carry the Tradition of Faith
forward into future generations and through future trials. To do so,
you must, in your hearts, be united. The Remnant Faithful are
everywhere and yet nowhere, for they are not established in one
geographical area, nor do they occupy one parish. My Remnant are
scattered throughout the world until My Son returns. I will share His
Victory with you when all will be one with Me.”
Read 2 Thessalonians 2:13-15+
But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren
beloved by the Lord, because God chose you from the beginning to be
saved, through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. To
this he called you through our gospel, so that you may obtain the glory
of our Lord Jesus Christ. So then, brethren, stand firm and hold to the
traditions which you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by
letter.
Read Ephesians 4:11-16+
And his gifts were that some should be apostles, some prophets, some
evangelists, some pastors and teachers, to equip the saints, for the
work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all
attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God,
to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ; so that we may no longer be children, tossed back and forth and
carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the cunning of men, by
their craftiness in deceitful wiles. Rather, speaking the truth in love,
we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by every joint with
which it is supplied, when each part is working properly, makes bodily
growth and upbuilds itself in love.

She is singing an ancient herding song from mid-north Sweden and Norway. I sense very old vibrations in the calling tones. See what happens to the cows as the singing calls.
The singer is Jonna Jinton.
Um sweaty i’m pretty sure that’s a woodland nymph calling her faithful cow spirits get it right.
can we lose the trend of transparent wedding dresses because if i see one more drop-dead gorgeous dress with a completely see-through bodice i’m going to explode probably all over the place and it’ll just be a pain to clean up and i’d rather not
I’ve been keeping watch on fashion show videos to catch any cute headcovering/veil styles and I am absolutely done with seeing buttcracks and nipples. 😐
