St. Louis Catholic Review - Virtue of Modesty

I was so happy to see a recent article in the St. Louis Catholic Review on encouraging Modesty.

August 20th article on "Living the virtue of modesty through dress and thought" by Jennifer Brinker.

Here is an excerpt:
As an ancient tradition, some of the liturgical items the Church holds sacred — the tabernacle, the ciborium, even the chalice — are covered.
Similarly, human beings should be treated with the same respect, said Colleen Hammond, a Catholic author and national speaker on the topic of modesty.
That’s why practicing the virtue of modesty is essential for Catholics, said Hammond, who wrote “Dressing with Dignity,” a book geared toward the topic of dressing modestly.
The former model and television meteorologist, who left her career to be at home with her four children, is based in Dallas, Texas.
“Our bodies are precious and we are not to use them and abuse them,” said Hammond. “The same is true in nature. Anything precious is difficult to get to,” such as diamonds, gold and pearls.
