Clothing: Mirror of a Woman’s Mental Character

Clothing: Mirror of a Woman's Mental Character Dr. Plinio commented: "Clothing completes the body and therefore must be dignified, serious and distinct. In this way man can express his moral personality to some extent through his attire. This can easily be noticed in women's clothing which is so apt to mirror the woman's mental character."Considering these words of Dr. Plinio, how should we, as truly Catholic ladies, adjust our clothing according to the occasion, our age and our state of life, in order to act in a Counter-Revolutionary…

Modesty, a Virtue that Reflects the Generosity of Our Vocation

Modesty, a Virtue that Reflects the Generosity of Our Vocation "The most important virtue for a woman is purity. If this is lost, the other virtues will disappear as well."  St. JeromeThis week we are reflecting on modesty in clothing, and of course we want to focus more and more on the purpose of dressing in a truly Catholic and Lucilian fashion.As we reflect on what modesty is, we come to the question of what is meant by purity. There is a basic principle of Christian purity, which…

Week 4

Chapter 2 (Part 2) Pages 64 - 77 Admiration in the Family: Innocence & Hierarchy https://youtu.be/VKl8wXT-Wfs Week 4 Questions Question 1 Dona Lucilia's immense admiration for her father was based not only on natural affection, but also on the public reputation he had gained through his many achievements. This developed in Lucilia the ability to admire uprightness and honour. How would that have shown itself in the person she was to become - would she have determined to instill those qualities in her own children - what examples,…

Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira, a Prophet for Our Days

A Prophet for Our Days October 3, 2018 – The 23rd anniversary of the death of Dr. Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira today was remembered in a very solemn way with a Mass at Lumen Propheta, in the presence of our dearest Monsignor. "If a man passed his whole life in a cave, alone, praying and doing penance, he would not acquire as much merit as that which is acquired in only one Holy Communion. This is the value of one Holy Communion."    (Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira)The month of…

The Marvels of the Holy Catholic Church This week, while we are reviewing chapters 1 to 8, we have a story of a young couple who, from the moment they first visited the Basilica of the Heralds of the Gospel in Cotia, São Paulo, have been receiving abundant graces in their lives. It was the invitation to piety communicated to his soul (Dr. Plinio as a child) by the statues of the saints. It was the fine and nuanced colours of the stained-glass that blended with the majestic and pleasing strains…

Home Education: To Unite, Protect and Form

Home Education: to Unite, Protect and Form "Dona Lucilia had outdone herself in providing the best possible education for her children at home. However, despite all of her concerns, in 1919, having reached the appropriate age, Plinio would have to be enrolled in school... but this was not enough to set Dona Lucilia’s maternal heart at ease. She was fully aware of the dangers which, even in those times, lurked in the company of schoolmates. How would her son respond to finding himself at odds with a world…

What if Our Lady knocked on your door after a rain storm and asked to borrow some clothes?

What if Our Lady knocked on your door after a rain storm and asked to borrow some clothes? We know that many styles of fashion are impregnating the mentality of women with revolutionary ideas. Ideas of all kinds, such as "freedom of expression" and "freedom of bodies" among other objectives that, as Dr. Plinio stated in his article in Folha de São Paulo, April 7, 1974:  “These audacities were usually followed by reactions. And then new audacities. And in such a way that the audacity was always greater…

Even from Dona Lucilia's manner of scolding her children, we can take multiple lessons about how a truly Catholic mother should proceed on such occasions. There's an article of Dr. Plinio that says, "Error is part of human nature, but so is correction." When necessary Dona Lucilla was ready to correct, sometimes with harsh terms.  In the case of the report card, Dona Lucilia said, "I never in my…

How not to React to the Crisis in the World Dr. Plinio demonstrates below the false thoughts of many in their reaction to the crisis in the world... He shows us clearly how not to think: Before anything else, it is necessary to not say things clearly, because you can irritate people. Chastity, yes. But pronounce the word very quietly; and only when it is essential, indispensable; or rather, just stop using it for a long time. Obedience to the Magisterium of the Church? Yes, indeed. But do…

To Where? Plinio Corrêa de Oliveira

To Where? Plinio Corrêa De Oliveira​ Folha de S Paolo, April 7, 1974I was about ten years old when I witnessed the first great advance of the clothing revolution that is now reaching its peak. By 1918, as a result of the decisive importance of the United States at the end of World War I, the American influence gushed intensely into France, from which, in turn, it was reflected in Brazil. The ladies cut their hair, and the skirts, which were worn at the ankle, jumped to the knees; the sleeves…
