It is also necessary to reflect on the virtue of humility which is the indispensable foundation of all Christian life. It is realized that this appeal will only affect a few because Our Lord tells us by another passage that the road to hell is broad and many are those who go in thereat. But if this article eliminates only one mortal sin, it will be worth the effort. Modesty should be promoted by mothers in their children from early infancy.
Many foolish mothers train their little daughters to consider scanty attire as the normal thing.
Beware of pride and flattery, as arch-enemies of your purity. How beautiful then is modesty and what a gem among virtues it is. And the world with its lust is passing away but he who does the will of God abides forever. Our Sorrowful and Immaculate Mother, who in all her apparitions is fully covered, is presented by her divine Son to us as the perfect model of modesty and purity. She is terribly saddened by the immodest and impure conduct so prevalent in our society.
