Ohh man, the Chuck Norris' jokes, err excuse me, facts, they get me every time 🤣🤣

As men, you are the leaders. You set the tone for your relationship.

If you are being rude, unappreciative, callous, or vulgar, your partner is going to be unhappy. Many women check out of relationships and plan their exit once they see the red flags popping up.

Men, it is your job to make your partner feel safe, happy, and loved in a relationship.

Yes, a godly woman still needs to focus on Christ as her number one priority. But, in order for her to submit to her partner, he has to be a mature and capable man. He must be impeccable with his word and treat her well at all times, even if he is upset with her.

Men, love your wives as Christ loved the church, and women can submit to you once they feel your love.

San Lorenzo Ruiz

The first Filipino saint was a mestizo de sangley (mixed Chinese and Filipino), and I want to honor that by dressing him in a plain camisa de chino (left, collarless shirt with round neck; part of his traditional iconography) and also in a variant of the barong Tagalog that borrows elements from the Tangzhuang. His rosary has the Dominican cross because he was a lay brother under the Dominicans.

San Lorenzo Ruiz was born in Binondo, Manila, site of the city's Chinatown. In 1636, after being accused of murdering a Spaniard, he sought refuge with Dominican missionaries and went with them to Japan. In Nagasaki, they endured horrific torture including waterboarding and denailing in an effort to coerce them to renounce their faith. Finally, they were put through the tsurushi, a Japanese torture technique in which the victim is hung upside-down in a hole filled with sewage. Two days of this torture, and he refused to recant. His last words were:

I am a Catholic and wholeheartedly do accept death for God;

Had I a thousand lives, all these to Him shall I offer.

Cardinal Tagle sings "Sanlibong Buhay" (A Thousand Lives), composed by Jandi Arboleda and Father Manoling Francisco, SJ.

Burnout as Christian is really important topic!

[theexodvs]

In a culture that attempts to impose androgyny, growing a beard is how I take the sentiment contained in Genesis 1:27, Deuteronomy 22:5 and Mark 10:6 to its logical conclusion.

Be men! In courage; not cowards, turning our back on the foe, or giving way in danger, or reproach, or evil days. In solidity; not shifting or shadowy, but immovable as the rock. In strength; as the man is, so is his strength. Be strong! In wisdom. Foolishness is with childhood, wisdom with manhood. Speak and act with wisdom, as men. In ripeness. The faculties of men are ripe, both for thinking and working. They speak ripe words, think ripe thoughts, plan and execute ripe things. In understanding be men! In all things – what you do, and what you refrain from doing, be men. Act the manly part – let nothing effeminate, luxurious, sickly, childish, puny, little, narrow be seen about you. Christianity makes men, not babes. Adorn the doctrine of Christ by your manliness. In the Church, in the world, in business, in conversation, in prosperity, and adversity, [act] like men! Let no man despise you; and let no man despise the Gospel because of you.

I have a dilemma. So, I just read an article on “The Marylike Standards for Modesty in Dress (as set down by the Vatican).” Does that mean we are also to apply this strictly at home? Like, for women, should we wear bras at home and if possible avoid shorts? Idk, this has gotten me confused many times. What do you think?

Have you read this? https://www.scribd.com/document/144559971/Marylike-Modesty

Other articles I have read were choppy in my mind and cherry picked depending on their version/definition of modesty. The mind is a good place to start as to why we dress the way we do but also what's up with the heart? Do we have a Christian heart or are we just faking it until we make it in our minds? It can be overwhelming with all the 'rules' that other's place on us but some are boundaries of Love. We are all sinners but there is an expectation that we need to strive for holiness as we are representatives of Christ therefore should try to do our best in being the best representative we can be (like dress codes at church). We want to give God our best.

When you are in the privacy of your own home, I think the rules are relaxed. If you have guest, then maybe you shouldn't be streaking around in your birthday suit or wearing bootie shorts ;) I'm a fan of what you practice at home makes for an easy transition for public, meaning how you act and talk and dress makes a smooth transition from home to school/work to public events/church because it is less stressful and is 'normal' so you don't have to think and remember how to act. I know women that will only wear dresses to fancy occasions and then they don't know how to walk, sit and behave in a dress, are then overwhelmed in public, stressed and not enjoying themselves. Flip side, you will not find me wearing a dress as I'm working outdoors or wrestling animals because common sense dictates that as unsafe for my situation. The home rule should also incorporate common sense / practical matters as well as relaxation and good health.

I was going to avoid the bra-thing because its a rabbit hole (but briefly ... ha!) I think women are not fitted properly, wear too long (time) and too tight. The off gassing of materials, the binding of breast tissue and lymph system is not healthy and I believe a leading problem in breast health. Yes, I am very much aware that some women are larger and need to wear bras for support to bed even but a proper night bra should be used. And some women are smaller and can get away with just a cami (or not). And don't get me started on binders! Bad! No! Full Stop! No more said. BUT the thing is modesty in public vs relaxing healthy (without bra) in the privacy of your home are two different things. I think that they (bras) should be taken off whenever practical. Of course this changes if you have male children maturing then you do want to practice modesty (but you can figure out how to do this and still be bra-less through the seasons) and as your girls grow, you teach by example as well.

But in my mind, do not strive/make it your focus to go to extremes in either direction. Modesty, chastity, and all those other 'Mary qualities' that Christian women want to emulate needs to start in the hearts and grow outwards, to encompass the mind, body and soul then, lastly to the outwards appearance ... which brings us back to us sinners just faking it until we make it. None of us juggling can keep all these balls (rules and regulations) in the air ... remember why Jesus came? keep your eyes on Him ... Just love the Lord with all you mind, heart and soul. Its too easy to get caught up in rules and regulations and then loose sight of what is truly important -- GOD. Just do your best as you grow and mature spiritually in the Love of the Lord. His Mercies are new daily! God's not going to love you less if you mismatch your socks, wear over sized sweats bra-less around the house or if your collar is more than 2 inches below the collar bone or don't have a dress to wear to church. He wants your heart, your love and devotion first and foremost. The rest can come later if at all (its not the most important thing).

King-conscious men 👑

[shadysadie]

Dear elderly men who see me at the library and assume I am a upstanding Christian woman with upstanding Christian values because of the way I dress.

I.

AM.

NOT.

I am a chaotic, nerodivergent, lesbian witch. Who likes skinny dipping and punk music.

I would not make a good little wife for you or your sons.

I do not dress the way I do because I am modest or because I honor my mother and father.

I dress the way I do because I want to look like a resilient Victorian orphan from the country who becomes a companion to a sickly Victorian rich kid who just needs to breathe some fresh goddamm air in order to walk again.

I forgot!

Those are the identities that we all too often allow others to place upon us and sad to say sometimes we develop our sense of identity not by what we’ve discovered about ourselves but what others have said about us.

Everyone one of us struggle from time to time with the issue of forgetfulness. We forget little things – things like; where we placed our glasses or our keys. Have you ever been driving down the road and you suddenly become aware that you might have missed your exit? Or, you realize you’ve driven 8 miles and you don’t remember how you got there? Forgetting little things is a normal part of life –…
