Modesty - Introduction

Modesty is a topic frequently covered by youth ministers, in youth groups around the world. It is a pressing issue and many girls and women dread modesty talks, which is why I am going to do a series on modesty, including a man’s perspective, seeking a new take on modesty.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.”

We hear this verse repeatedly, but it is a hard message to understand, and I’ve struggled to understand it for a long time now. However, it has become clearer to me the issue at hand, and through this series, we will further define this verse.

As we learn about, and repeatedly hear about this virtue I want to share words of wisdom from my youth minister – “When modest dress is no longer an issue for the women in our youth group and in our culture, then we can move onto something new”

Lastly, as we begin this journey to grow in modesty, may we entrust ourselves to the Blessed Mother, our most pure, most chaste model and mother. 

Mary, Help of Christians, 
Pray for us!

Mary, mother most pure, 
Pray for us!

Mary, mother most chaste, 
Pray for us!

God bless!

In the name of Jesus and Mary,
