Modesty & Decorum

Decorum and modesty are younger brothers of purity.

– St. Josemaria Escriva, The Way, #128

Let us reflet on purity, and how we can nurture that beautiful holy nurture in our lives by...

* our speech; the way we talk, the words we use, the jokes we tell

* our actions; the way we behave, the way we react when angry, how we compose ourselves, our reactions to memebers of the oposite gender; how we behave when hungry or when things don't go the way *we* want

* our dress; the clothes we choose, the amount of flesh they show, the images they portray

* our minds; the books we read, the internet sites we visit, the tv shows we watch, the thoughts we indulge in

* the company we keep; our friends, the people we socialise with, the things we speak about
