Remember that the devil was once a beautiful angel in the Heavens with God. Just as the world will make evil look good and good look evil. Society will continue to push this narrative that scandalous women win, but what do they win? Women that lead with promiscuity only have this to rely on. Once they are no longer youthful enough or popular enough, they are discarded.

As a virtuous woman, you offer more than just your body. You offer an example of fine womanhood, femininity and qualities that any man would want to invest his time in. God is most pleased with women that honour and guard their virtue. In a world where escorts, models and celebrity women are living lavish lives, I urge you to remember that nothing is free. Some lifestyles will cost you your peace of mind, self respect and soul.

Portugal is worth fighting for!

One common pitfall is how parents teach the moral law to the kids, there are two aspects:

Knowledge: Many parents teach their children what not to do, which is good, but few teach their children what to do, what exactly the virtues are: justice, temperance, fortitude, etc.. because the parents usually do not even know it.

There is a big difference between not doing something bad and actually doing something good. Only putting rules on your kids, telling them no no no no will help little when they actually have to develop, train their virtues, you need to show them about discipline, abstinence, etc.. after all you won’t be always there to put the rules.

Experience: we call this implicit learning. Children are fairly intelligent so they can just watch you and pick up certain things on how to behave without really reflecting about it, just by watching. If they see you being disciplined, faithful to your duties in your state in life, praying, being modest, they will be the same.

For example, if you want your daughters to marry the right man, you have to exemplify virtue on how you treat your wife so that she learns from that, not necessarily she’s going to analyze it but she’ll build up these associations in her mind “this is what a good man is like”.

It’s all about helping to develop good habits, so that when they get older especially after they go through purity they’ll have these good habits in themselves so that they can rest upon them and make use of them.

If anyone is interested: I have founded a group for German-speaking Catholic mothers. The topic is everyday religious culture and book recommendations, especially for children. I would look forward to a lively exchange with like-minded people. @tradkathfam

Honourable and Virtuous women will attract their likeness.
The positive side to society being so degenerate, is the ability to stand out as a virtuous woman. Believe me ladies, there are plenty of men who are tired of the promiscuity and lack of virtue in modern women. Today more than ever you can stand out! Show your difference with your attitude, the way you dress and the manner in which you express yourself. A man may stare at a promiscuous woman, but he will never genuinely love her. A man may even sleep with one (a mans nature is different, remember), however he would never love or respect one. Men have gone to war and work hard jobs for the women they deemed honourable and respectable!

A family without prayer is like a body without a soul.

You wear an ancestor's face. You look like a man you'll never meet. In the mirror, there's thousands of you. Your victories and losses are not uniquely yours. What you say and what you do is the continuation of an unbroken, centuries long chain.

Act accordingly.

The wholesomeness you needed today.

Oh hi there 🤗😁👶
