About the booklet: What is modesty? In speaking of modesty, our imperfect words can sometimes lead to misunderstanding.
The feminine body is a work of God, a marvel whose great dignity is to be the temple of life.
It is the place where we were all conceived and carried.
It is the place where we all received life.
We can never have enough respect for the body of woman, where so great a mystery occurs.
Why then do we ask woman for modesty? If this body is good, why would she hide it? Why give her the false impression of being a source of corruption, accusing her of tainting others?
To understand the situation of fallen nature and its demands, we must consider the plan of God.
While beauty lifts souls upward, modesty goes further - attracting all who witness it to goodness and guiding them towards God.
This short book will provide readers a deeply Catholic perspective on a topic that is practically forgotten today. It is also available as an eBook.
The cover of Feminine Beauty And Modesty (2024) is of Allégorie de la Justice, 1815, by Charles Meynier.
