Attire of
the Body Shews What We Are

The attire of the body, and the laughter of the teeth, and the gait of the man, shew what he is.

Certain Fashions will be introduced that will greatly offend God ~ Our Lady of Fatima, 1917
This blog certainly is appropriate as
we head into summer. I have been
conducting a more large scale “adult ministry” for many years in an
effort to warn and potentially convert those females who are abiding by the
flesh. Out of the hundreds of thousands
I have contacted very few have responded positively to the Message and even
fewer have stuck it out over the years.
Out of the hundreds of thousands I have contacted there also has been a
sad and consistent theme.
A great number
of these females think God is “ok” with immodest dress or even worse by showing
their bodies off purposefully. We must
remember when a soul abides in sin it darkens not only the heart but
intellect. This answer could not be any
further away from the truth and Our Lady of Fatima warned the world through 3 little children that those who run the way of the flesh indeed end in
hell. Immodesty and Vanity are both sins
which at the end of life’s road takes one to hell (un-repented and objectively
speaking). Pride abides in these souls
who “do not want to be told what to do”.
It is my life and my body they exclaim! Actually it isnt your body and life ...it is the Lord's. Selfish much? Often times this problem arises from a lack of proper parenting in rearing the child as
truly Christian. But then again take a
look at what is being identified with Christianity these days and it is not hard
to figure out why so many are on the wrong path thinking they are right.
The excuse “I am sinner like you”
is not a sufficient response because it is clear there is no clear intent of
being sorry for these sins nor any apparent amendment for one’s life. Love changes the object in which it touches
and takes a hold of and therefore we are "on the outside" truly what "we are within"
as Scripture dictates. If we dress like
a whore exteriorly than interiorly we are a spiritual whore who does not house the truth in them
nor is true Love abiding and operating in the soul. The word "Love" is way overused these days and
often misused by those who have not Truth in them. The sodomites and gay marriage crowd all
have their "own way" which is not Gods way. They did not want Catholic truth and
therefore they created “their own”. They
want to live as they want without any recognition of what God has truly
revealed in the Religion He founded.
Thus, every man lives for himself and actually thinks they can get away
with it! No, my friends they will not
get away with it. They will not get away
with it in this life nor the next. They
dress with less because they are self seeking and seek to please every carnal
eye rather than God. They like the
attention because they are self serving and have been raised in error since
birth (most of them). Their attire
speaks to being a street walker as opposed to being the lady God has designed them to be. But who wants that in this liberal world? I got to "fit in" and "be cool" right?
Grace clothes the heart, thence the
soul and ultimately the surface with the body. Now the virtues can vibrantly leap out
and much like a fresh rose offer something much more “deep” to Society. Immodesty and Vanity only broods spiritual
death because it emanates from the self.
To put "on display" is to rob God of His glory and thence a woman’s body
is first made for God then her husband. A woman's body was not meant to be put on display to be
gawked at. Only Our Lord’s Body should
be on display because He is our ONLY WAY OUT OF THIS BODY. It truly is sad to see so many women not
living with any respect and dignity for their own body. They offend God, themselves and their
neighbors BUT since most are void of grace these days our ladies are "egged on"
to reveal more. I am very forth right
with women on the matter because I had seen the destruction it caused my own
soul and how it truly affects society as a whole. It keeps the culture of self.... thriving!. Finally, I close by mentioning, another issue or trend of the modern world, which is a snapshot of the self. The woman or man who loves the mirror. The person who spends more time taking selfies
during the day then in prayer has completely “lost it” or quite frankly never “had
it”.
Today's godless and insane liberal feminists....
Hell, has a deep, dark and empty
spot for these souls who always want attention. In great irony they will not get it (attention) for all
eternity not even from the devils’ themselves.
To look good for God and neighbor doesn’t mean drawing attention to
yourself but rather drawing upon the grace of God to do good for God and
neighbor and this requires modesty. We
have fallen natures which require proper clothing. I am thoroughly amused and saddened at the same time by those girls who
say they have a “deep relationship with Christ” all the while their facebook is
loaded with half naked pictures which say otherwise. We reflect on the exterior that which
comes from within. Souls who are
intimate with Christ are not concerned about being "in the spotlight" nor are they overly concerned with their bodies. "For bodily exercise is profitable to little: but godliness
is profitable to all things, having promise of the life that now is,
and of that which is to come." 1 Timothy 4:8 In addition, they are not trying
to outdo their friends on facebook in the game of “I can be more immodest” than
you (so I can get more likes). I am also amused by those women who
think “bikinis” are still okay with Christ.
Many of them sadly and vainly try to argue back “what are we living in the middle ages?”. Sadly these blind souls are not at all
intimate with Christ and follow the fashions of the world which has an end in
hell. It is summer time and thus a time
for change. I hope this message penetrates
deeply with our women who think they can go on living as the world and have
Christ at the same time which is pure poppycock. Our Lady warned at Fatima of the immodest
fashions coming and have we ever seen this since 1917!! These girls are not properly attired on the
surface because they are not first properly attired in grace within. It is time to turn back to Christ, His Catholic Faith and the Sacraments before it is too late. Turn to Our Lady and not the TV for the answers. In the end, they deceive themselves if they think
otherwise or try to hide behind excuses.
Please keep this particular aspect of my work in your prayers.
"Either we
must speak as we dress, or dress as we speak. Why do we profess one thing and
display another? The tongue talks of chastity, but the whole body reveals
impurity."

Several reminders from the Church for the summer time:
Pope Pius XII – August 15, 1954 delegated Cardinal Ciriaci to issue a letter on modesty.
"Everyone knows that during the summer months particularly, things are seen here and there which are certain to prove offensive to anyone who has retained some respect and regard for Christian virtue and human modesty . On the beaches, in country resorts, almost everywhere, on the streets of cities and towns, in private and public places, and, indeed, often in buildings dedicated to God, an unworthy and indecent mode of dress has prevailed. Because of this, the young particularly, whose minds are easily bent towards vice, are exposed to the extreme danger of losing their innocence, which is, by far, the most beautiful adornment of mind and body. Feminine adornment, if it can be called adornment, feminine clothing, ‘if that can be called clothing which contains nothing to protect either the body or modesty.’ (Seneca) are at times of such a nature that they seem to serve lewdness rather than modesty . What we are discussing here is obviously most serious, since it vitally concerns not only Christian virtue but also the health and vigor of human society . Well did not the ancient poet say of this matter: ‘Vice necessarily follows upon public nudity’...
St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori, Doctor of the Church
" A mortal sin of scandal is committed by women who go about with their
bosom immodestly exposed, or who expose their limbs improperly.
There was a woman who, even after marriage, did not cease giving
scandal. This woman one day fell into a fit, and while she was in a
state of unconsciousness, she saw the Lord condemning her to eternal
fire. When she recovered the use of her senses, she did nothing but cry
out, "Alas! I am damned, I am damned!" A confessor came to comfort her,
but she answered, "What have I to do with confession? I am damned." Then
her daughter approached the bed, in order to encourage her, but she
cried out: "Ah, accursed child! on your account, too, I am damned: for
through you I have given scandal to others." After these words the
devils, in presence of all who were in the apartment, raised her up to
the ceiling, and then dashed her so violently against the floor that she
instantly expired.'
A Pastoral letter of His Emminence Enrique Cardinal Pla y Daniel, Archbishop of Toledo Spain issued in 1959 this directive:
" A special danger to morals is represented by public bathing at beaches, in pools and riverbanks…Mixed bathing between men and women which nearly always is a proximate occasion of sin and a scandal must be avoided."
St. Jean-Baptiste de la Salle
'It was sin that created the need
for us to dress and to cover our body with clothing. This is why, because we
carry with us at all times the condition of sinners, we must never appear not
only without clothing but also without being fully dressed. This is required both
by decency and by the law of God.'
Maria Cahill, "Modesty In The Modern World"
