Don Bosco Educates Catholic Girls on Modesty | Ep. 43

[@tristanballeta5782]

The Virtue of Modesty is very important in order for us to practice chastity and purity.

[@CarrieP-W]

Thank for this story about the lost virtue of modesty. I think it is a gateway virtue...the first lost, the last regained. My five daughters don't hear about it from anyone but me...and they ignore me. I hope some of them will listen to this story. Thank you.

[@johnisaacfelipe6357]

Please never lose strength in guiding your daughters. I will pray to Saint Monica to watch over you.

[@CarrieP-W]

@@johnisaacfelipe6357 Thank you. I was baptised on her feast day.😇

[@ceciliamiller6862]

It’s so good to hear this valuable lesson for Catholic mothers and daughters of all times…thank you for bringing it to us. St John Bosco, pray for us!

Wonderful video, I'm always captivated by what you share and I'm learning so much of great value. Im new to the Catholic Faith, your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you.

[@donboscostories]

That's so good to hear, very encouraging! Thank you and God bless!

@@donboscostories Thank you for your beautiful reply, it means a lot. God Bless. :-D

[@riseandshine4512]

Very interesting story. I learnt a lot. Thank you for the work you do. St John Bosco pray for us.

[@Rubenclub23]

Thanks again for a great video! Currently limiting my KZbin use so I think I'll stick to just watching your videos for now. God bless you!

[@donboscostories]

What an honor, thank you for keeping up with the episodes. I'll try to make it worth your while. St. John Bosco, pray for us!

[@signedelacroix7213]

Thanks for explaining things up, about context, it's make it more interesting. And I listen with my kids as I am a father that homeschool them, living and staying with them, just like Don Bosco was doing. Every friday at lunch time, we can listen to your stories. And they like it a lot. I decided to call the Friday of Don Bosco. "Les vendredis Don Bosco." They can't wait for next friday. Thanks. God send you his graces. And St-John Bosco pray for his and the channel.

These are great videos of yours thank you sir.

I have made some of my Pinterest pages to collect morally acceptable outfits for girls and young women.

If Catholic parents cared about modesty you would NEVER see a Catholic girl wearing a bikini swimsuit

[@dianaswanson5705]

Unfortunately there are many girls who dress immodest in our parish. This is the parents responsibility though and it has been brought up by the school staff regularly

[@kathysmith3834]

As you have stated you are an atheist so why would come to this channel? But then perhaps God is calling you here to open your heart. May God’s graces through the Virgin Mary soften your heart and open it to the Truth of Christ. I shall pray for your conversion. May God bless you.

[@m.a.l.pentieiro5712]

ABSOLUTELY!!! These are more and more disturbing and DISGUSTING!!!🤦‍♀️

[@ecopley9013]

Rather, you would never hear a decent Catholic even mention one.

Amén. Amén.

[@ecopley9013]

As a Catholic, I humbly ask you if you would consider to disable comments for any further videos on modesty. Many people make good comments, but not all. People should go to a good and holy priest for advice or to the Marylike Standards of Modesty (if they have the correct version). Nobody should discuss what is, and is not, immodest on a youtube channel as doing so causes scandal and invites the worst kind of trolls and people who wish to drag one's mind into the mud. John Bosco who encouraged all to strive for perfection in not only actions, but also thoughts, would surely not approve of the conversation. Such things should not be named among us. Perhaps a link to the Marylike standards would be useful. This is an occasion for both men and women to act bravely (as Matthew Miller has done here in recounting the story) as all the vitriol of Hell comes forth, literally. Another video you posted of John Bosco said there were two main sins that sent people to Hell, one of them was immodesty.

[@kingazapaa2989]

what would he say about our times

[@HeroOfTime303]

He would certainly tell us to follow the will of God regardless of our times, friend!

[@ludwigvanbeethoven8164]

are you in the seminary?

[@donboscostories]

I'm just a layman who loves Don Bosco.

[@signedelacroix7213]

A woman came one day (during the time of the crazy years after WWI, where the dress were revealing.) to St-Frère André complaining about a pneumonia. He answered he was not surprised because of his dress. He then, game her a medal of St-Joseph, asking her to rub herself. Then he add with his humour: ""Maybe it will make cloth grow on your chest."

[@Braingrandchild]

Real question: perfume is immodest?

[@donboscostories]

I don't think he was saying that at all. It's fine!

[@HeroOfTime303]

It can certainly become vain. It really depends on your intentions. Are you wearing perfume to "not be a bother to others around you" or are you wearing it to "make others attracted to you." These two intentions are very different...one is self seeking while the other is in service to others. I hope this finds you well, friend!

[@Braingrandchild]

@@HeroOfTime303 Thanks for giving me something to think on. I wear it because I love it, it gives me such a sense of comfort and ease and I’m crazy for the scent and honestly I’m excited when others are too, usually other women who recognize what it is. Def something for me to think about.

[@joea.9969]

@@Braingrandchildlike anything it can be ok or turn into a vice, I ended up spending too much money and obsessing over many perfumes I didnt really need. Jesus allowed the woman to anoint Him-with perfume oil so its not inherently bad.

[@joea.9969]

I repented of jokingly teasing a man wearing a revealing top. I think its easy to forget how easy it is to tempt men with your body, we really need to be careful and not show too much even jokingly can lead someone to sinful thoughts,

[@fightthegoodfightoffaithmi8676]

Matthew 3:10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Titus 1:14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

[@wildplumbeauty]

I’m all for modesty but only wearing long sleeves would be very new to me. I love wearing dresses though because pants aren’t very feminine at all.

[@donboscostories]

I don't think that's what he was saying, I think he was against sleeveless.

[@wildplumbeauty]

@@donboscostories oh ok awesome 👏😊

[@sophiajohnson8608]

I believe the Cardinal Vicar of Pope Pius XI stated: “A dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat; which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows; and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knees. Furthermore, dresses of transparent materials are improper.” This suggests that sleeves should, ideally speaking, at least be elbow length. However, the famous document on Marylike modesty says that, due to the difficulty of finding modest clothing in our day, quarter length sleeves are also acceptable.

[@anio6865]

I think what Don Bosco meant about her arms was vanity. They said she was always washing and perfuming them. We are not Lusters and we are not muslims who look at anything and lust after it.

[@Crazyfarmer67]

I guess I don't understand the arm story. Is a woman to keep her arms covered at all times?

[@donboscostories]

No sleeveless is what I think he was trying to say.

[@Crazyfarmer67]

@@donboscostories I can understand the low neckline. Cleavage is very sexual. But bare arms? As a man I never looked at arms as sexual, legs yes. But does this mean that a woman cannot wear shorts, even if they're modest? Sounds like Muslim.

[@donboscostories]

Actually, he preached fervently against Mohammedanism: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n3u3laKNma6UqtE Sleeveless fashions only came out in America recently in the 60's, popularized by Jackie Kennedy. Are you saying that American fashion was Muslim before that? No, it was a remnant of Christian civilization. 60's fashions like that and the mini-skirt of the 70's were hotly debated in their time and we're merely desensitized. I stand with Saint John Bosco. It's an extremely balanced view and is a reminder that Original Sin exists and we have to fight lust.

[@Crazyfarmer67]

@@donboscostories I agree. But is my wife to stop wearing shorts? Because this is how I'm understanding this. She's very modest and never dresses immodestly, so this is very confusing to me.

[@GemaEnriquez]

@@Crazyfarmer67 Modest dress is NO PANTS , SLEEVLESS BLOUSES , DRESSES SOULD BE JUST BELOW THE KNEE , NO TRANSPARTENT DRESSES OR OR LOW CUT BLOUSES, NO THIGHT CLOTHES, NO SHORTS. You could still follow fashions as long as they are MODEST .PS WHAT do modest shorts look like ? I am a young woman , if I could follow these Catholic guide lines on modesty , SO CAN ANY WOMAN ! '' Youre dresses should be tight enough to show that you are a woman, but loose enough to show that you are a Lady " Edith Head

[@juans6639]

Our Most Blessed Virgin Mary of Fátima, (1917) and Our Lady of Good Success, (1610) warned about the imodesty in dress. (These fashions offend her Son Jesus Christ VERY much) St. Paul warns in 1Cor.10:24 and other references. Pray the Rosary on a daily basis like Our Most Blessed Virgin Mary at Fátima asked us to do.

[@antoonmeert1942]

The St Peter basilica in Rome I visited four times is ... the opposite of modesty and the expression of megalomania. Disgusting !

[@DC-rd2rv]

So how much of our arms is too much to show??

[@donboscostories]

He doesn't describe how much they were showing in the story. But one thing is for sure: he definitely would disapprove of sleeveless apparel.

[@m.a.l.pentieiro5712]

@@donboscostories Thank you for your explanation Sir ! Thank you for your videos very inspiring and nourishing 👍🙏 God bless 🙏🙏🙏

[@noelntea]

What about headcovering when out of the house? Would that be extreme

[@MariaSantos-ft2sf]

@@noelntea no, you don't need to cover your head outside of your house. and it would be considered extreme in most of situations, yes. but you can cover inside a church or chapel if you have a veil

[@pearl7seas]

We definitely need modesty today but I don't think one goes to hell for such a small reason.

[@donboscostories]

I would believe what the saint says. Causing someone to lust through immodest dress, isn't a small sin.
