The Virtue of Modesty

Also known as: Propriety


Purity of heart in action, especially in regards to dress and speech

Dear Jesus, give me a pure heart like that of Your holy Mother! Please increase in me the gift of the fear of the Lord, so that I may never sadden You by the way I dress, act, or speak.

  • Dressing in an appropriate manner
  • I will wear this skirt because it isn't too short or too tight.

Featured Scriptures

Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God? You are not your own; you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body

"Let him who boasts, boast of the Lord."

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, as the Lord assigned to each. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.

But far be it from me to glory except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
