God often gave the most astonishing miracles to the saints who said the scariest things about hell (the Apostles, St. Vincent Ferrer, St. Anthony of Padua, St. Francis Xavier, St. Padre Pio.) When the "Dare We Hope All Men Are Saved" folks start raising the dead, then we'll talk.

St. Padre Pio’s attitude towards Immodest dress:
The saintly stigmatized Padre Pio was always a merciless enemy of feminine vanity: he never tolerated low-necked dresses, short and or tight fitting skirts, and forbade his spiritual children to wear transparent stockings. In the last few years of his life, his severity increased enormously, as fashions became more and more immodest.
He unrelentingly dismissed from his confessional, before they could step inside, all women he judged to be incorrectly dressed. By 1967, on some mornings, he turned them away one after another, until he ended up confessing very few. His brethren noticed this with a certain unease, then decided to post on the door of the church a warning: "By Padre Pio's explicit wish, women must enter the confessional wearing skirts AT LEAST 8 INCHES BELOW THE KNEE. It is forbidden to borrow longer dresses in church and to wear them to confession.”

Do Immodest popular fashions cause young women any moral harm or lead women to make any personal compromises with purity? Pope Pius XII answers:
“But how can you know anything of the impression made on others? Who can assure you that others do not draw therefrom incentives to evil? You do not know the depths of human frailty …. Oh, how truly was it said that if some Christian women could only suspect the temptations and falls they cause in others with modes of dress and familiarity in behavior, which they unthinkingly consider as of no importance, they would be shocked by the responsibility which is theirs”

“How many girls there are who do not see any wrong doing in following certain shameless styles like so many sheep. They certainly would blush if they could guess the impression they make and the feelings they evoke in those who see them.”

Pope Benedict XV:
"One cannot sufficiently deplore the blindess of so many women of every age and station. Made foolish by a desire to please, they do not see to what degree the indecency of their clothing shocks every honest man and offends God. Most of them would formerly have blushed for such apparel as for a grave fault aginst Christian modesty. Now it does not suffice to exhibit themselves on public thoroughfares; they do not fear to cross the threshold of churches, to assist at the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and even to bear the seducing food of shameful passions to the Holy Altar, where one receives the Heavenly Author of Purity."

The blood of St. Januarius (San Gennaro) failed to liquefy yesterday at the celebration marking the Translation of the Relics. Normally the congealed blood of the saint miraculously liquefies on three occasions each year. Twice in succession now, the saint's blood has failed to liquefy. On the rare occasions when no miracle is granted it's piously believed that Heaven is giving warning of chastisements about to fall and calling the faithful to renewed prayer and penance.
Pray the Rosary every day and begin a true devotion to the Blessed Virgin if you haven’t already. Prepare yourself for these forthcoming chastisements.

🇫🇷🔥 CHURCH BURNED IN LILLE
👉🏻 In the African neighborhood of Wazemmes in Lille (Northern France), the church of Saint Peter burned for several hours.
🔎 For now, the cause of the fire is unknown. But an accident seems unlikely since the church had been renovated a few months ago.
📌 From certain sources, it was confirmed that the fire started in the sacristy, where the holy books are kept.
ℹ️ Note : a few days ago, we covered the burning of another church in Normandy, exactly 2 years after Notre-Dame.

Part 1:
🤵🏻♂️Today we have a lesson on Modesty and the blindness of modern women with Fr. Taouk, so make sure to listen carefully!
🧍🏼♀️👙 "Women often deny that their semi-nude attire is the source of numerous and serious temptations to the opposite sex. Some reject any responsibility for leading others into sin. Others try to cover their own guilt by such statements as: "He must have a dirty mind. Scanty attire in men doesn't affect me at all. Why should men be tempted by the scanty attire of women?" When a woman is dressed immodestly, she becomes the temptress for men. Remember Our Lord's words to men who fall prey to such allurements: "Whoever shall look on a woman to lust after her hath already committed adultery with her in his heart." (Matt. 5:28)
👯♀️ Indirectly, immodest woman are included in this indictment, being cooperators with the sins of men. God has made woman beautiful and attractive to men so as to fit with His plan for procreation in lawful wedlock. As a result of Original sin, mankind must constantly struggle to regulate this attraction. Unless both men and women fortify themselves by prayer, sin quickly enters their immortal souls.

🏃♀️🔥 Fr. Taouk discusses here sports clothing and what women ought to do with Immodest clothing
💃 Many women will say they wear the modern fashions because they are more comfortable, and the weather is hot (Remember, it is very hot in Hell).
🎾 This brings us to the area of sports. Regretably, all too many sports are taboo for us Catholics, not that they are in themselves a sin or a near occasion of sin, but because of the skimpy attire that such sports "require".
🤽♀️🤸♀️ Think of these sports and the clothes people usually wear when playing the following sports or activities: swimming, baton twirling, tennis, basketball, dancing (disco dancing and little girls who take dancing lessons) and gymnastics.
🏊♀️🩱Let us tak swimming for an example, since people usually wear less clothes when swimming than any other sport. Swimsuits have no sleeves, have very low necklines, no coverings for the legs and usually has the whole back exposed.
✝️ When we think of the saying, "in proportion to the amount of flesh exposed mortal sin seems to increase", shouldn't we avoid the bathing suits like the plaque? Do you think this suggestion is crazy? You say yes, then let us ask another question. Do you prefer to have the mortal sin of immodesty on your soul and the untold number of mortal sins of your being a temptress or tempter and causing others to sin?
🤔 What is the solution then?
Here Fr. Taouk says very wisely, offering us a great solution:
“Many people lament the terrible state of immorality that is prevalent in our society, wondering what can be done about it. Among other things such as praying the rosary daily and reading the Holy Bible and the lives of the saints we can promote modesty by burning bathing suits and shorts and converting pants into decent skirts. Let us always keep in mind that the ultimate success is gaining heaven and nothing else really matters.”
