En fin , una mujer católica, una hija
verdadera de la Iglesia, es una bendición de Dios para su familia y para la religión.

«Ella es aquella antorcha de que habla el Evangelio, que, puesta sobre el candelero del hogar doméstico, difunde en su alrededor los resplandores de la fe en toda la casa, e ilumina a todos los que la habitan; ella es aquella sal misteriosa que impide la corrupción de la familia; ella es aquel vaso de celestiales perfumes de que habla San Pablo, que echa en torno suyo el buen olor de Jesucristo.»

Y, mientras ella hace virtuosos a cuantos la rodean, su dulce influencia se hace sentir aun sobre aquellos que están fuera de su casa, sobre los parientes, sobre los amigos y sobre los extraños. Semejante a la violeta que, no obstante esconderse bajo su verde follaje , no puede menos que embalsamar la atmósfera con su suave fragancia, la mujer cristiana oculta bajo el velo de la modestia sus buenas obras, gusta vivir retirada en el silencio del hogar; mas entre tanto el buen olor de sus obras manifiesta su retirada y oculta morada; ella es conocida, estimada y amada, y muchos le son deudores de su salvación.

Considere pues la mujer de cuántos bienes puede ella ser causa, si lo quiere, y cuán culpable será ante Dios y los hombres, si, abusando de los dones del Creador, los emplea para ofenderle y para perder a los que con ellos debía salvar.

[...] No deje entre tanto de reflexionar seriamente sobre la responsabilidad que pesa sobre sí considerando el reflejo que sus vicios o sus virtudes tienen sobre la familia y consiguientemente sobre la sociedad, que de ella se compone; y tenga también por cierto que si es libre la mujer para adherirse al bien o al mal, no lo es igualmente para impedir que el mal se propague o difunda fuera de sí. El mal es siempre contagioso por naturaleza, pero lo es más cuando la mujer lo propaga. «Roma está arruinada, decía Horacio, porque está corrompida la mujer.»

St Valentine was a Catholic priest, who in times of persecution of Catholics during the Roman empire, he risked his life to marry Catholic couples.

I recommend listening very carefully to this conference: it might help lots of people overcome a threat to our Faith, which is sloth.

“You’re wearing daddy’s pants!” Felicity exclaimed (😂) one day back in December that I randomly decided to put pants on after not having done so for 8 months (let’s just say I promptly put my dress back on).

I don’t have anything very profound to say. To be honest, the experience hasn’t been overly profound to me in general. I have always loved to wear skirts and dresses, so that probably made the transition easier and a little more natural for me (than for someone whose norm it might be to only wear dresses on Sundays/special occasions, for example). One day I just grabbed all my pairs of jeans and decided to sell them along with the rest of the things I was selling in my shop that week (ok, all but one pair I’m resisting letting go of for, you know, that ONE instance where I will just absolutely need jeans 😆).

My decision was motivated predominantly by three things: femininity, comfort, and modesty (in ascending order of importance).
| It feels good to feel feminine. To highlight in some way, simply and externally, the difference between man and woman and the inherent beauty of that.
| Dresses are sooo much more comfortable than pants, which constrict the entirety of your legs. Not to mention how wonderful it feels to not have a waistband/button digging into your stomach or waist when you sit down?!
| And modesty. Maybe you don’t care about it, but if you do, even just a little, it is worth pondering the way in which many pants (and especially leggings) hug our bodies so closely and reveal a lot - including some of the most feminine and intimate parts of us.

If you’ve ever considered it or are curious at all, I urge you to just try it! Three days. A week or two if you’re really feeling adventurous. Maybe it won’t impact you in any life-altering way or become a long-term way of dressing, but I believe it’s worth trying and paying attention to how it makes you feel and maybe any thoughts it might make you have. And I’ll be here if you have any questions or need any help! 💛

Holy Mary Mother of God

When people say "being a stay at home mom isn't a job" they don't think through what they're saying. Women can destroy society by being absent mothers, and we're seeing how society is nowadays since the sexual revolution and the so called "liberation of women"

“You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts." -Charles Spurgeon

It is in this tough time that we need to pray for Ukraine and Russia. Leaving politics aside, people have lost their lives, and who knows in which situation their souls were. Let's pray for the cease of fire, the souls of those who have passed, and the conversion of those who are alive.

Ave Maria, gratia plena
Dominus tecum
benedicta tu in mulieri­bus, 
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus, 
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. 
Amen.

Take better care of your clothes by following washing instructions 🧺

Although following these instructions sometimes proves to be vital, some pieces of clothes can be washed without following the instructions in the label. It's not a live or die matter. Regardless, you should always check the materials before making any decisions.

It is time for self reflection, to look at our interior life and reflect on our actions and whether or not we truly put Christ and his Blessed Mother first in our lives. I encourage all the ladies and gentlemen in here to do so. And to of course, work on bettering ourselves with the constant goal of living for Christ.

Here there's a link of the archeparchy of the Ukrainian Catholic church in Philadelphia. They are taking donations for the war victims, you can donate with your credit card or PayPal if so you wish.

It's vital to help those in need and furthermore, it's one of the things the Church asks of us during Lent.
