The Veil of Purity

The Supernatural Purpose of the Chapel Veil

Sadly, many women who wear a veil do so for the wrong reasons, and most women who refuse to wear a chapel veil don’t understand its real purpose.
     So, should women wear a chapel veil out of duty? No. Should they wear a veil only at the Latin Mass? No. Is the veil a sign of oppression of women? No; in fact, it’s just the opposite.
     If women dress modestly at all times they will be a holy influence on men and society, and if they cover their heads when praying they will protect themselves spiritually from those who feed upon irreverence and impurity.
     Women have a crucial mission—a mission of supernatural purity—in liberating themselves, the Church, and society in general from the oppression of irreverence and impurity that, day by day, are increasingly attacking us all.

Conveniently sized to fit in your missal; carry a copy of this booklet with you to give to anyone who questions the use of the veil.

Stopping Smoking

Stopping Smoking Through Faith and Prayer

If you are addicted to any substance, you are declaring with your behavior that you “love” the addiction more than you love God, and so you will fail to love God as Christ commanded us: You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind (Matthew 22:37). But, if only you train yourself, through faith and prayer, to desire holiness more than you desire an addiction, any addiction can be overcome.
 
Accordingly, to stop smoking it will be necessary not only to overcome the addiction to nicotine, but also it will be necessary to overcome the habit of always reaching for a cigarette (either as a behavioral reward or as a means to relieve anxiety) instead of reaching out to God in prayer.
 
If you follow the guidance within this booklet, you will be able to say, “When I trust in You, Lord, You are my best and oldest friend. I do not need to soothe myself with cigarettes. With Your grace, I am not a slave to impulses and addiction.”

Borderline Personality Disorder

Healing the Rage

The whole purpose of bringing a child into the world is to take responsibility for guiding an innocent soul into mature purity before God. So, if your childhood was filled with loving trust in God because your parents lived in chaste loving trust in God, then we can say your parents loved you.
     But if your childhood was filled with insecurity, hostility, self-loathing, and disobedience, then you have the truth right under your nose. All you have to do is see it. Here’s how to fix it.

Catholic Compassion

How can Catholics “take the emphasis off sin” and focus on God’s healing mercy—and not end up condoning sin?

All of us are tempted today by those who try to convince us to doubt the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.
 
We are induced to look with desire at behaviors that separate us from a holy life, saying to ourselves, “How can there be anything wrong with something that seems so nice?”
 
This booklet, in explaining real Catholic compassion, can help you understand how friends, teachers, professors, the entertainment industry—and even priests, bishops, and popes—can lead you away from God under the deceptive guise of “being compassionate.”

Desire and Distraction

If you desire success, you will likely achieve it, but if, somewhere deep in your heart, you desire failure, all your attempts to achieve success will fail.

If you don’t desire to be healed, that’s proof that you really can’t do it all yourself. That’s proof of your need for God. With divine grace, you can be inspired to desire healing. But maybe you have never learned to care much about yourself, and when you don’t care much about yourself, you don’t care about much at all—and when you don’t care about much at all, you end up desiring failure.
 
You can remain in this place of not caring and just keep on walking to your destruction. Or, if you were to notice that God has been trying to get your attention, you would know that there is more than destruction, something so beautiful and desirable that only one thing can resist its pull: hate.
 
So now, and in every moment until you die, you will have a choice between the ugliness of hatred and the beauty of God. That decision has to come from you.
 
You will go where you desire.
