I just wanted to jump on here and say that there are ways men can dress immodest. I use to live in the Los Angeles area and was a catechist for 3 years. I had many high school boys who would sag there pants showing their underwear, wear white tank top “wife beaters” as they called them or gang affiliated colors. I would consider that immodesty for men. Unfortunately I would see men dressed in that manner at church which influenced some of our kids. But anyways I just wanted to say that since I’ve seen it before.
Men should most definitely keep their shirts on! When Adam and Eve realized they were not clothed they covered themselves in fig leaves but that was not enough, God gave them animal skins for more coverage.
So I have a question, my boyfriend and I have spoken about this and have tried establishing boundaries, however recently it’s been breaking a lot and I’m not sure what to do. He seems very apologetic when he knows I’m hurt about the situation and reminds me that it’s a struggle because of his past. So does this mean I should end things with him?
Men taking their shirts off paved the way for the #freethenipple campaign and absolutely impacted women's modesty. So men who say women should dress modestly also need to be dressing modestly including wearing shirts at the pool or beach. It's not very convincing to hear dress modestly from hippocrites that are running around shirtless
I love the veils - I also love the fact that they are so pretty that they actually look prettier than wearing your hair on its own! I always thought this about veiling - my mum did her hair up with a Spanish comb and a black mantilla- she looked stunning!
Modest Catholic women have a beauty that is beyond physical beauty! Thank you so much for being a modest woman. As a guy I'm sick that almost every time I attend Holy Mass I see miniskirts, cleavages, yoga pants... and I got distracted, yup it's my fault I got distracted... but women really are not helping me much in keeping me focused at Holy Mass.
Christian women really need to start thinking about and loving others . It’s important not to cause our brothers to stumble. I am so sorry this is happening but some women are insecure or desire men’s attention without even having revelation of this. If you see a sister dressing immodest, I encourage you to pray for her because I can tell you there was a time I did this and came to a place of repentance ❤
I felt as if I was listening to a character from a classic English novel, back when women were pure and modest and men were chivalrous and protective enough to respect that. In my +26 years online I've never enjoyed a video like I did this one 👏❤
Today I veiled for the first time and it was, unexpectedly, in the norvus ordu mass. I was scared someone might tell me to not do that, or to get nasty looks. That’s why I planned on doing it at the Tridentine mass, but I just went. I’m overwhelmed by the positive reactions. I just wanted to hide in there are focus on God, which I did, which was like I thought it would be, btw. I cried all through mass almost. But when I did look at people, they looked like they were seeing something so special, and I don’t even know if I can deal with that. Hopefully they’ll get used to it and will stop. It makes me embarrassed and I don’t want that, although I appreciate it so much. Can anyone relate? I’m now not sure I can be sturdy enough to not only have such an intense experience with god during mass, but then the looks and smiles… a lady blessed me, held my face and said a bunch of things - I didn’t even know her… idk if I can handle it.
I really recommend 'Good News about Sex and Marriage' by Christopher West. This book is based on the Theology of the Body by the saint pope John Paul II.
Making out is a sin, not an occasion of sin. All carnal pleasure outside of marriage is a mortal sin. Pecks on the cheek are fine. The kind of kiss you'd give to great grandma or great grandpa.
I agree with this! Actually with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or even if engaged you should not kiss! I do think it is fine and very sweet for your boyfriend to kiss you on the hand! But any other kissing is saved for husband and wife.
To anyone struggling with purity, remember: death before sin (mortal) Rosaries and constantly educating yourself on the church teaching will guide you and improve you
If you’re going to be wearing a veil at someone else’s wedding I’d suggest getting one of those small circular ones for the top of a head, AVOID wearing your long ones, especially if white. I feel like the whole point of veiling is modesty, so don’t take attention away from the bride
In response For men wearing shirts at the beach/pool, as a young man, i can somewhat agree with you Amber i kinda thought the same way. i thought, “If women should be covered when swimming why not men too?” I used to wear a shirt all the time (mostly since middle school) and my reason was to help stop sunburns and i was taking strong acne meds so i definitely wanted to protect my skin. Since then, i think I’ve gained a self conscious look for myself, noticing that i had a “farmers tan” and wanted my skin to look uniform. Plus, i didn’t like that my shirt stuck to my skin when i got out. (Taking off a wet shirt is very exhausting.) Lately, I’ve grown indifferent about it but i definitely agree that both men and women should set the example for the other. I guess that’s another sacrifice men need to put up with for women. God bless! Ite ad Joseph
It also helps to practice God's presence everywhere and within the other people. Our Lord said that 'whatever we'll do to anybody, we'll have done that to Him'. He is inside your girlfriend / boyfriend and He's looking at you right now. See Him in your girlfriend or boyfriend. That will teach you a lot!
I wish the Catholic church would have a rule that if you're a single female and thinking of marriage, you wear a white veil, but if not, or you're just not interested, you wear black or grey or something that doesn't stand out too much and isn't white.
I'm very glad such a rule does not exist. I find the thought abhorrent that someone would assess my worth based on whether I was available as opposed to taking time to get to know me as a person, regardless of what they might one day get out of me. A single man who won't talk to a woman unless she has made it publicly known that she is looking for a date is not a man who will make a good husband.
@@gray_maraI don’t think so it use to be old practice also if it’s Gods will for u to have a relationship. You kinda have to put yourself out there you won’t meet ur partner in your house 😅
The best thing my parents did for me was not let me wear bikinis growing up! Yes I wear them now as an adult, but I cannot thank them enough for not letting me as a child and keeping me modest!
We live in a very bizarre culture where the men wear dresses and the women wear simulacra of genitalia on their heads, so it's a breath of fresh air to see somebody with modest wear.
I usually wait until the end of videos to click Like, but those vails are absolutely beautiful as well as the concept. I see a few vails at the mass I attend. If I was a girl I'd keep one with me all the time with my Rosary.
what’s the point even of making out? once you start you literally have to throw yourself out the window or light your hair on fire to even start considering stopping. and even if you consider it, nanoseconds make the difference. just don’t go there. ever. unless you want to become true enemies who basically hate each other, eventually.
I live in a large tourist lake in Missouri, there are so many unmodest swimsuits everywhere. You can't even get gas in your boat without a gas dock girl showing 99% of her body.
Hey Amber! Thank you for this video, I am just learning about veiling and this was super helpful. Where can I find the veils you showed us? The link below says the promotion is over. Thank you!
For me modesty is about self respect. Men can dress modestly by wearing clean clothes that fit properly and show dignity and represent good character. Incl. not wearing excessively expensive clothing
I agree with excessively expensive but in general I think it’s better for men to buy less clothes but of better quality which oftentimes means that you have to spend more, however, the upside is that they will last for years if taken care off properly. Of course I’m not saying you have to walk around in 2 pairs of t-shirts 😂 but a good rule to follow is: “less is more”.
for praying the rosary daily: dont pray the rosary if you are just babbling on words. say it out of love and really think about the meaning of the words, and if you have a short attention span like me maybe pray a decade a day :)
Would it be a bad thing to purposely wear a black veil even if you’re not married or even dating, to prevent any attention from guys at mass? I’ve never done this but I just thought about it
So what's next--no more meat on Fridays? I think any priest who would enforce veiling in church should also enforce the rule (still on the books) that men & boys and women & girls should sit on opposite sides of the church.
just thought I pop back on and say thank you so much for making this, I had started veiling occasionally when I asked this question however now I try veil every time I attend Mass, Adoration etc. and I feel it has helped my focus & prayer life immensely 🥰🥰
8:09 Yes, Standards as high as possible. To glorify Christ. I check if my wife is modest enough. But when I was young, any cleaviage would ruin it already for me. I wanted to marry a pure women, not a woman that has shown a lot to the world. (And don't worry about my wife, she's very happy (mainly because I want to grow in following Christ too) I bought her loads of clothing and yesterday a car stopped to have a better look - we're 64 now (!)...and she is still beautiful!
It is wonderful to see young Catholic women restoring the tradition of covering their head in Church.Let’s not make more of it than it is though.The practice is based on the admonition of St Paul in the Bible.I see some TH-camrs really going a little crazy about it.
So I have an issue because I just recently got way closer to god and want to be more modest but I own a lot of crop tops so like you said I try to wear high waisted pants but it’s difficult to make sure that none of my stomach shows so should I get rid of all of them or is it acceptable to still wear them if they show my mid drift sometimes
My dayghter has a 2omans curves at 13 wnd finds most swim suit bottoms will hwve her rear cheeks hanging out. What we have done is volleyball shorts over it they cover the bottom hwlf of the rear. She swims in a longer version of a sports bra that comes down at the ribs as ost swim tops she has had the unfortunate experience of falling out her top
Is there a good way to talk to a girl you're interested in about wearing a veil, other than taking them to an FSSP church until she starts wearing one to fit in?
I actually think that men should wear a swim top while swimming. I think if they're with other men, but I just think it's appropriate to consider that many women struggle too especially with an increased pornified culture.
Thank you for your intelligent brave videos. You’re a credit to yourself and your family and are hugely respected by your followers and viewers. I have recently returned to the faith and have seen so many inspiring videos to help in that journey not least amongst them yours. Thank you.
On a bit of a side note, I'm from Europe and at the Vatican, before you enter, there are guards who ask you politely to cover up if you're dressed way too immodestly (I'm being serious, there are women who try to walk into St. Peter's wearing basically a bikini and men who are in nothing but shorts), they offer coverings for free to both women and men, so we guys have to be conscious of this also, and we need more guys speaking about it to each other. We are not Moslems, which was made by a man for males and actually oppresses women - we are CHRISTIANS, and we are all EQUAL - male and female - just with different social roles. Men look at women lustfully but women also do the same, we should be conscious of this. Thank you so much for the video Amber, you're doing a great job here!
If you're the only person veiling at your parish, and you notice people staring...is it really modest? Or does it become something immodest at that point?
If people are staring at you that is their problem. If you're intention is to veil for Christ and to have a deeper devotion to Him through veiling, then people who have an issue with that are committing sin, not the person veiling.
Fashion is related to display vanity which is the sexualization of the self. Modesty is a display of humility which is by far more alluring and evokes a mystique to the self. Virginity is not shameful but a great honour to Christ. Abstinence to drugs and alcohol is noble and means that our Lord is in keeping with a true worth. The sanctity of a union is special and devine moment. The most beautiful attributes to God are light and water which possess no sexuality or degradement. To honour purity is a grand compliment to Christ and his action. Take care brothers and sisters.
Making out can be wrong because it entices further sexual activities, nevertheless I get the notion that many Catholics act like they should avoid sexual temptation at all costs. This is not chastity. Sexual desire is natural it only becomes lust when it’s fed inappropriately. When couple kiss, hug or cuddle sexual arousal can happen. This is normal, God created us this way. I think it’s important to be able to control that and use our physicality with respect towards our partner instead of suppressing it. This is especially crucial when it comes to using NFP because there are periods when married couple has to abstain from marital act, nonetheless that doesn’t mean they’re not married anymore and shouldn’t express their love by psychical means. Body is just as good as soul, this belief is what separates us from gnostics. I advise anyone seeking romantic relationship or someone who is in one, to get familiar with Saint’s John Paul II Theology of the Body. EDIT: That said, there are circumstances when one’s control and will is limited, then we are to remain prudent (e.g. if man is struggling with sexual thoughts throughout the day it’s probably best to not spend evening all alone with his girlfriend). We should always try to lean on The Holy Spirit (and our God given intellect) when discerning this matters
Isn't veiling meant to impress man rather than to impress God? The apostle Paul says that a woman's hair was given her as a covering, so wouldn't a veil be for some other purpose?
About the crucial question on "how to remain pure nowadays": And literally insist with the Bless Virgin Mary that pray for us (even at adoration) because 1 prayer of Her for us is worth more than a gazillion prayers of us, and she makes us more welcomed in front of Her Son in the Blessed Sacrament during adoration. Special tip! Especially for those who are still battling with conversion (or pre-conversion, like thinking about but not really converted yet): ask 'the desire of the desire'. If one already has the constant firm resolution of living in the observance of the 10 commandments at any cost, with no exception ever, not even in the next 100 years, they already have the strong desire of being pure (because that's part of observing the commandments). Therefore, in their prayers and requests, they'll ask other things (such as to INCREASE virtues, faith, charity, hope, purity, etc.). But if one is still battled by the 'decision' itself, if one still has a weak desire of maintaining oneself chaste and pure always with no exceptions, then his or her prayers/requests will be weak. They won't be very 'convinced' yet about the decision. So, things like this can happen: when praying (either mentally or verbally), the WORDS say things like "make me pure" etc. But the inner desires still, deep down, opt toward committing sins. Basically, they lack the firm resolution and desire (in this topic: for purity). Therefore, ask the DESIRE OF THAT DESIRE. The desire of the holy desires. Yes, our Lord and Our Lady know that their request will be weak, not even convinced in some cases. But that's why they're asking the desire of the desire: because that's exactly the medicine they need at that point. God knows that and appreciates their sincere effort and visits their souls with the graces, little by little, that will drive them toward the true and strong desires. The devil will tempt them to think things like: "see? nothing's happening, nothing's changing, your request is useless" and things like that. That's exactly a deception! It's a trap! Keep asking that, every day, more times/day, adding the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph the most pure (super important, right after Our Lady!!!!) and of the entire Heaven and Purgatory: they'll see the change happening in their soul. Only, God is forced to make it happen VERY SLOWLY, because if it'd happen quickly, we'd be eaten up by pride. We'd dangerously fall from impurity to pride, deeply, almost subconsciously, building up a sick self-esteem that takes the place of God's grace and of our due gratitude toward God. "[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. [5] I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing. [6] If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [8]" (St. John 15, 4-8) Ah, also, very very important!!! Meditation of the eternal truths is of paramount importance. Even prayer, which is the most important thing, if alone, many times is not sufficient. We need to 'soak' the 3 powers of the soul (intellect, willpower, and memory) with the love and appreciation for the ADVANTAGES of virtues and holiness and the awareness and disdain of the DISADVANTAGES of sins and vices. Even a few lines of holy books, but REGULARLY, daily possibly. Even just 5 minutes. It literally soaks your soul and shows you nuances and facets that one couldn't even imagine. It guides, motivates. The meditation of those texts will accompany, reinforce, enlighten, motivate, and fuel the intellect. The REGULARITY and frequency of the meditation will do that with your memory. So your memory will always be aware and will constantly remind your intellect about those things and feelings. Your intellect, constantly reminded by memory, will help your willpower, and you will be fighting your battle against the devil, the world, and the flesh with 2 arms (intellect and willpower) instead of willpower alone, plus the fuel of memory. Very important. Supernaturally excellent texts such as "trustful surrender to divine providence" (St. Claude), "uniformity to God's will" (St. Alphonsus), "Introduction to the devout life" (St. Francis from Sales), "Practice of loving Jesus Christ" (St. Alphonsus), "Spiritual combat" (Scupoli, regarded very highly by St. Alphonsus and strongly recommended by him), "Preparation to death" (St. Alphonsus) are some fantastic examples of books that are free and available online for download (but I strongly recommend to buy them printed, and they're very affordable usually, the older the edition/translation, the better). "My Daily Bread" by Paone is also absolutely amazing and effective and rich and full! Not sure if it exists for free download somewhere. God bless you all my friends!!! Thank you so much for this video and all you do, Religious Hippie (I don't know your name, sorry)
Can you different colors of veil? Also can I wear a veil outside of church and just wear it regularly? I find it so pretty and I love wearing hats anyways so I was wondering if it was wrong to wear it all the time?
If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils, then it can be argued that the most often cited verse is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states: “But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.” According to many of those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse supposedly implies that a woman’s uncovered head is a woman who does not wear a veil. Such a woman is either dishonoring God, their own physical head or her husband for failing to wear it which implies that they are in disobedience. Some have gone so far as to say it is a sin. Another assumption is that the woman being referred to already has long hair and since they conclude that the covering is a veil then it must be referring to an “additional” covering otherwise it would clash with verse 15 stating that God gave women long hair for a covering. Another conclusion is that women ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying which would make it seem as though it were something that can be placed on or taken off like a veil. You’ve probably noticed by now it takes several assumptions to reach the conclusion that women ought to wear a foreign object on their heads, despite the lack of evidence. * Does the Bible really give a clear command that women should wear a veil? The first thing that everyone must understand when talking about this topic is that it DOES NOT say the word “veil “or any other physical headwear, as far as the KJV is concerned. It surely mentions that the woman’s head should be covered, and no one disputes this, but it does not say that it should be covered with a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or any other specific headwear. The verses in question within 1st Corinthians 11 mention the words, cover, covered, uncovered, and covering, but that does not mean we can translate this to mean specifically a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or anything else similar. In fact, it would seem more like an adverb rather than a noun. Nevertheless, the word “cover” is often unfortunately interpreted by head covering promoters to mean a veil above all other types of headwear, even if there is no evidence to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. To do so would mean that one is trying to read more into the verse than what is actually stated and is not truly seeking an exegesis of the Scriptures. Some have claimed that they are referring to a physical synthetic head covering because the Scriptures seem to indicate that there are two exclusive conditions in order to wear one and that is when a woman is either praying and/or prophesying. But does this interpretation stand up to logic? If we were to believe that under certain conditions a woman ought to wear a physical head covering, then it stands to reason that under OTHER conditions a woman should be able NOT to wear one. For example, if you are going to argue that a woman ought to wear a veil because the Bible claims there are two conditions, then it is logical to presume that any other condition would ALLOW them to be without one, like speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc. Now if a head covering promoter should claim that there are MORE conditions, then they admit that there aren’t really “two” conditions thereby nullifying the two-condition argument. The reasoning behind why the “two-condition” argument is important for veil promoters is because if these words were actual conditions, then it would seem as though the covering were something that can be placed on or taken off. So even though it does not literally or EXPLICITLY say anything about putting on or taking off a veil. Veil promotors form this belief based on what they believe to be IMPLIED and not by a direct statement. Many people like to believe this because they ASSUME that praying and prophesying are two conditions instead of seeing them as mere examples. * Praying and prophesying were meant to be viewed as examples, not conditions… Now I can understand how someone can mistakenly conclude praying and prophesying as conditions in verse 5, on the surface, but once you read the rest of the verses in context one cannot reach that conclusion. For example, if the strongest argument is because there were conditions for women to wear veils because of verse 5 then why don’t we hear the same thing spoken of about men in verse 4? “Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.” Normally we do not hear the argument that men ought not to have their heads covered exclusively under two conditions as we hear for women as to why they should. I think it is because that would imply that they CAN have their heads covered under other circumstances like the examples I mentioned before as in speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc. But I suspect a veil promoter would not go along with this. Then there is verse 7: “For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” So, there seems to be ANOTHER reason for men not to cover. Therefore, if the reason for men not to cover their heads in this verse is because he is the “image and glory of God,” then why even mention praying or prophesying in verse 4? Should a man not be covered under ANY condition since verse 7 overrides any supposed conditions? Shouldn’t that make you question that perhaps Paul was just giving a couple of examples? Verses 4 and 5 are basically the same except for whom they are directed yet when one hears the arguments by veil promoters it is typically about how verse 5 is conditional for women yet for men in verse 4 it is usually not spoken of. Again, isn’t it more likely that Paul was using the words praying and prophesying as examples in both verses? We can also get a sense that Paul was referring to praying and prophesying as examples if we read verse 13 when it only mentions the word praying and NOT prophesying. “Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?” If there were only two exclusive conditions, then why would he leave out prophesying? We can’t say he got tired in his writing as he mentioned both words in verses 4 and 5. So, what can we say about this? Just that Paul was giving us a couple of examples of how doing something HOLY or GODLY does not give a pleasant appearance if the woman is uncovered, meaning not covered in long hair and the same goes for men when their heads are covered in long hair since that is exactly one is supposed to understand when reading verse 14.
Hey Amber can I recommend a book to you. Read Why Grace Changes Everything by Chuck Smith. It helped me out a lot in my relationship with Jesus, I think it will help you too.
Doing great thanks! Going to fast (For non-religous reasons) so excited to start my 2 day fast. So enjoying my memorial day, getting some work because I want to be the best worker at my career etc, so feeling great! How are you doing? :p
I have a couple questions: 1. What are some ways of overcoming with spiritual warfare/flesh 2. How can I be a better catholic because I have a hard time with it especially in the environment I am in. 3. Should kids be dating at a young age? 4. Is there a way to help keeping up with praying. 5. What is the male version of veiling (if it's real) 6. I'd like to start a catholic TH-cam channel but I don't know where to start -Sorry if it's to much, Please let me know and answer as much as possible! You are truly doing an amazing job! God bless you 🙏🏻
Sigh... I stumbled across your page by shear accident while doing some research on 3rd Order Carmelites and I so wish it were possible to clone you and trade in my 4 daughters for these clones. Their mother is a liberal Catholic and a feminist so getting my daughters to understand the very beauty of what you embrace has been a pointless endeavor. I am definitely going to try and get them to watch your videos. Thank you.
Women look so beautiful in Catholic veils. It highlights a beautiful face.
I just wanted to jump on here and say that there are ways men can dress immodest. I use to live in the Los Angeles area and was a catechist for 3 years. I had many high school boys who would sag there pants showing their underwear, wear white tank top “wife beaters” as they called them or gang affiliated colors. I would consider that immodesty for men. Unfortunately I would see men dressed in that manner at church which influenced some of our kids. But anyways I just wanted to say that since I’ve seen it before.
Ooooooh! The first veil is so gorgeous!!!! (And so are you, Religious Hippie!)
Men should most definitely keep their shirts on! When Adam and Eve realized they were not clothed they covered themselves in fig leaves but that was not enough, God gave them animal skins for more coverage.
Negative.
Amber , what is the song in the beggining of the video
Do you know latin and wats a good way to learn it if you do
So I have a question, my boyfriend and I have spoken about this and have tried establishing boundaries, however recently it’s been breaking a lot and I’m not sure what to do. He seems very apologetic when he knows I’m hurt about the situation and reminds me that it’s a struggle because of his past. So does this mean I should end things with him?
Men taking their shirts off paved the way for the #freethenipple campaign and absolutely impacted women's modesty. So men who say women should dress modestly also need to be dressing modestly including wearing shirts at the pool or beach. It's not very convincing to hear dress modestly from hippocrites that are running around shirtless
I love the veils - I also love the fact that they are so pretty that they actually look prettier than wearing your hair on its own! I always thought this about veiling - my mum did her hair up with a Spanish comb and a black mantilla- she looked stunning!
Amber, for a young woman, you are such a beautiful old soul...we need more young people on fire for God like you! God bless you and your ministry!🙏
Men can and should dress modestly too
Idk why but I read that as “Veiling, Modesty, and Putin”
I mean basically accurate
Can you put the link to the veil Company and What is the US company and where the bills are put together
I mean I did too 🤣🤣🤣
Putin is living rent free in your head
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 dying at this😅
I wish more women wore veils in church. It is such a beautiful thing in every aspect. So much grace and reverence
Modest Catholic women have a beauty that is beyond physical beauty! Thank you so much for being a modest woman. As a guy I'm sick that almost every time I attend Holy Mass I see miniskirts, cleavages, yoga pants... and I got distracted, yup it's my fault I got distracted... but women really are not helping me much in keeping me focused at Holy Mass.
Christian women really need to start thinking about and loving others . It’s important not to cause our brothers to stumble. I am so sorry this is happening but some women are insecure or desire men’s attention without even having revelation of this. If you see a sister dressing immodest, I encourage you to pray for her because I can tell you there was a time I did this and came to a place of repentance ❤
I felt as if I was listening to a character from a classic English novel, back when women were pure and modest and men were chivalrous and protective enough to respect that. In my +26 years online I've never enjoyed a video like I did this one 👏❤
It's so refreshing to see Marian teachings manifested in such a young person.
This is the internets first “veil unboxing” video. ❤
Today I veiled for the first time and it was, unexpectedly, in the norvus ordu mass. I was scared someone might tell me to not do that, or to get nasty looks.

It makes me embarrassed and I don’t want that, although I appreciate it so much. Can anyone relate? I’m now not sure I can be sturdy enough to not only have such an intense experience with god during mass, but then the looks and smiles… a lady blessed me, held my face and said a bunch of things - I didn’t even know her… idk if I can handle it.
I really recommend 'Good News about Sex and Marriage' by Christopher West.
This book is based on the Theology of the Body by the saint pope John Paul II.
Very nice veil. Wished it came back full force for all church services 💟🙏🏼
What if my family doesn’t go to church can I veil at home during praying?
Making out is a sin, not an occasion of sin. All carnal pleasure outside of marriage is a mortal sin. Pecks on the cheek are fine. The kind of kiss you'd give to great grandma or great grandpa.
It blows my mind that some Catholics think making out is not sinful. Shows how much the culture and media has brainwashed even Catholics.
I agree with this! Actually with your boyfriend/ girlfriend or even if engaged you should not kiss! I do think it is fine and very sweet for your boyfriend to kiss you on the hand! But any other kissing is saved for husband and wife.
Passionate kissing is the term, and yes, it is indeed mortal. It is reserved for the married
To anyone struggling with purity, remember: death before sin (mortal)
Rosaries and constantly educating yourself on the church teaching will guide you and improve you
If you’re going to be wearing a veil at someone else’s wedding I’d suggest getting one of those small circular ones for the top of a head, AVOID wearing your long ones, especially if white. I feel like the whole point of veiling is modesty, so don’t take attention away from the bride
In response For men wearing shirts at the beach/pool, as a young man, i can somewhat agree with you Amber i kinda thought the same way. i thought, “If women should be covered when swimming why not men too?” I used to wear a shirt all the time (mostly since middle school) and my reason was to help stop sunburns and i was taking strong acne meds so i definitely wanted to protect my skin. Since then, i think I’ve gained a self conscious look for myself, noticing that i had a “farmers tan” and wanted my skin to look uniform. Plus, i didn’t like that my shirt stuck to my skin when i got out. (Taking off a wet shirt is very exhausting.)
Lately, I’ve grown indifferent about it but i definitely agree that both men and women should set the example for the other. I guess that’s another sacrifice men need to put up with for women.
God bless!

If somebody asks a woman why she veils the best answer it was good enough for 1970 years and it is good enough for me!☺️
It's cool that they make eco-friendly veils!
God bless you sister!!! please pray for us all in Uk
Oh my goodness, I love that! "Not because they show too much of a person, because they show too little"
What are your comments on Kourtney Kardashians wedding? Wasn't it blasphemy? Was it a mockery of catholicism?
Ive been thinking that I am too picky with girls, but I am glad you assured me that I shouldnt lower my standards
I really want to start attending a TLM but unfortunately there aren’t any in my country
It also helps to practice God's presence everywhere and within the other people. Our Lord said that 'whatever we'll do to anybody, we'll have done that to Him'. He is inside your girlfriend / boyfriend and He's looking at you right now. See Him in your girlfriend or boyfriend. That will teach you a lot!
I wish the Catholic church would have a rule that if you're a single female and thinking of marriage, you wear a white veil, but if not, or you're just not interested, you wear black or grey or something that doesn't stand out too much and isn't white.
I'm very glad such a rule does not exist. I find the thought abhorrent that someone would assess my worth based on whether I was available as opposed to taking time to get to know me as a person, regardless of what they might one day get out of me. A single man who won't talk to a woman unless she has made it publicly known that she is looking for a date is not a man who will make a good husband.
Why would you want that?Worry about more important things in life.
@@gray_maraI don’t think so it use to be old practice also if it’s Gods will for u to have a relationship. You kinda have to put yourself out there you won’t meet ur partner in your house 😅
I do liturgical colors, white, and blue. I wear a headband/bandana when I go to weddings. But if it is a TLM wedding then I think any veil works.
The best thing my parents did for me was not let me wear bikinis growing up! Yes I wear them now as an adult, but I cannot thank them enough for not letting me as a child and keeping me modest!
We live in a very bizarre culture where the men wear dresses and the women wear simulacra of genitalia on their heads, so it's a breath of fresh air to see somebody with modest wear.
I usually wait until the end of videos to click Like, but those vails are absolutely beautiful as well as the concept. I see a few vails at the mass I attend. If I was a girl I'd keep one with me all the time with my Rosary.
Thank you for this video!! It was amazing!
what’s the point even of making out? once you start you literally have to throw yourself out the window or light your hair on fire to even start considering stopping. and even if you consider it, nanoseconds make the difference. just don’t go there. ever. unless you want to become true enemies who basically hate each other, eventually.
I live in a large tourist lake in Missouri, there are so many unmodest swimsuits everywhere. You can't even get gas in your boat without a gas dock girl showing 99% of her body.
Hey Amber! Thank you for this video, I am just learning about veiling and this was super helpful. Where can I find the veils you showed us? The link below says the promotion is over. Thank you!
For me modesty is about self respect. Men can dress modestly by wearing clean clothes that fit properly and show dignity and represent good character. Incl. not wearing excessively expensive clothing
I agree with excessively expensive but in general I think it’s better for men to buy less clothes but of better quality which oftentimes means that you have to spend more, however, the upside is that they will last for years if taken care off properly. Of course I’m not saying you have to walk around in 2 pairs of t-shirts 😂 but a good rule to follow is: “less is more”.
@@KamilR7 yes I agree
for praying the rosary daily: dont pray the rosary if you are just babbling on words. say it out of love and really think about the meaning of the words, and if you have a short attention span like me maybe pray a decade a day :)
Would it be a bad thing to purposely wear a black veil even if you’re not married or even dating, to prevent any attention from guys at mass? I’ve never done this but I just thought about it
Theres no problem with it
That is such a helpful message about mental modesty. I really needed that.
I know veils have symbolic meanings but I can’t help it tbh I veil with whatever color matches my outfit
So what's next--no more meat on Fridays? I think any priest who would enforce veiling in church should also enforce the rule (still on the books) that men & boys and women & girls should sit on opposite sides of the church.
What do you think about orange for a veil ?
Love your new intro, Amber!
just thought I pop back on and say thank you so much for making this, I had started veiling occasionally when I asked this question however now I try veil every time I attend Mass, Adoration etc. and I feel it has helped my focus & prayer life immensely 🥰🥰
Im so glad🥰🥰
8:09 Yes, Standards as high as possible. To glorify Christ. I check if my wife is modest enough. But when I was young, any cleaviage would ruin it already for me. I wanted to marry a pure women, not a woman that has shown a lot to the world. (And don't worry about my wife, she's very happy (mainly because I want to grow in following Christ too) I bought her loads of clothing and yesterday a car stopped to have a better look - we're 64 now (!)...and she is still beautiful!
It is wonderful to see young Catholic women restoring the tradition of covering their head in Church.Let’s not make more of it than it is though.The practice is based on the admonition of St Paul in the Bible.I see some TH-camrs really going a little crazy about it.
So I have an issue because I just recently got way closer to god and want to be more modest but I own a lot of crop tops so like you said I try to wear high waisted pants but it’s difficult to make sure that none of my stomach shows so should I get rid of all of them or is it acceptable to still wear them if they show my mid drift sometimes
I don, t like when guys go up for communion when their hands are not folded , they have their hands at their side.
My dayghter has a 2omans curves at 13 wnd finds most swim suit bottoms will hwve her rear cheeks hanging out. What we have done is volleyball shorts over it they cover the bottom hwlf of the rear. She swims in a longer version of a sports bra that comes down at the ribs as ost swim tops she has had the unfortunate experience of falling out her top
Is there a good way to talk to a girl you're interested in about wearing a veil, other than taking them to an FSSP church until she starts wearing one to fit in?
I actually think that men should wear a swim top while swimming. I think if they're with other men, but I just think it's appropriate to consider that many women struggle too especially with an increased pornified culture.
You look beautiful in your chapel veil. You really look natural. It' suits you perfectly.
Does bozidol have an independent website or can they only be found on amazon?
As far as im aware it is only on amazon
Thank you for your intelligent brave videos. You’re a credit to yourself and your family and are hugely respected by your followers and viewers. I have recently returned to the faith and have seen so many inspiring videos to help in that journey not least amongst them yours. Thank you.
On a bit of a side note, I'm from Europe and at the Vatican, before you enter, there are guards who ask you politely to cover up if you're dressed way too immodestly (I'm being serious, there are women who try to walk into St. Peter's wearing basically a bikini and men who are in nothing but shorts), they offer coverings for free to both women and men, so we guys have to be conscious of this also, and we need more guys speaking about it to each other. We are not Moslems, which was made by a man for males and actually oppresses women - we are CHRISTIANS, and we are all EQUAL - male and female - just with different social roles. Men look at women lustfully but women also do the same, we should be conscious of this.
Thank you so much for the video Amber, you're doing a great job here!
For swim suits, you an always get bikini bottoms and put a pair of athletic shorts over them
can you please do a video explaining the orthodox church vs the catholic church!!!
Do you veil w/ online mass? Thank you for inspiring us!
Thank you so much for your faith and courage!
God bless you!
😘
If you're the only person veiling at your parish, and you notice people staring...is it really modest? Or does it become something immodest at that point?
If people are staring at you that is their problem. If you're intention is to veil for Christ and to have a deeper devotion to Him through veiling, then people who have an issue with that are committing sin, not the person veiling.
Fashion is related to display vanity which is the sexualization of the self. Modesty is a display of humility which is by far more alluring and evokes a mystique to the self. Virginity is not shameful but a great honour to Christ. Abstinence to drugs and alcohol is noble and means that our Lord is in keeping with a true worth. The sanctity of a union is special and devine moment. The most beautiful attributes to God are light and water which possess no sexuality or degradement. To honour purity is a grand compliment to Christ and his action. Take care brothers and sisters.
I am Pagan, and I veil.
🙏
Making out can be wrong because it entices further sexual activities, nevertheless I get the notion that many Catholics act like they should avoid sexual temptation at all costs. This is not chastity. Sexual desire is natural it only becomes lust when it’s fed inappropriately. When couple kiss, hug or cuddle sexual arousal can happen. This is normal, God created us this way. I think it’s important to be able to control that and use our physicality with respect towards our partner instead of suppressing it. This is especially crucial when it comes to using NFP because there are periods when married couple has to abstain from marital act, nonetheless that doesn’t mean they’re not married anymore and shouldn’t express their love by psychical means. Body is just as good as soul, this belief is what separates us from gnostics. I advise anyone seeking romantic relationship or someone who is in one, to get familiar with Saint’s John Paul II Theology of the Body.
EDIT: That said, there are circumstances when one’s control and will is limited, then we are to remain prudent (e.g. if man is struggling with sexual thoughts throughout the day it’s probably best to not spend evening all alone with his girlfriend). We should always try to lean on The Holy Spirit (and our God given intellect) when discerning this matters
Isn't veiling meant to impress man rather than to impress God? The apostle Paul says that a woman's hair was given her as a covering, so wouldn't a veil be for some other purpose?
This video is amazing👏
It really helped.
I love Sadie Robertson!!
Also I've heard blue veils represent that you're confirmed?
This is amazing and those veils are beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
Also, where is your necklace from? It is beautiful
Hi Amber, i’m wondering do you have to receive Holy Communion on your tongue & kneel when you veil?
I couldn't believe the ad I had to endure before your video was for a video game called "Diablo". Beautiful veil!
A woman who has a child but has never been married should wear a black veil instead of white?
For Easter, what do you think of a bonnet instead of a veil?
Wow, I am shocked ! i did not think that in this culture any young women like this even existed anymore.
The only people in my church that veil are younger people.
Amber do you disavow the burkini?
About the crucial question on "how to remain pure nowadays": And literally insist with the Bless Virgin Mary that pray for us (even at adoration) because 1 prayer of Her for us is worth more than a gazillion prayers of us, and she makes us more welcomed in front of Her Son in the Blessed Sacrament during adoration. Special tip! Especially for those who are still battling with conversion (or pre-conversion, like thinking about but not really converted yet): ask 'the desire of the desire'. If one already has the constant firm resolution of living in the observance of the 10 commandments at any cost, with no exception ever, not even in the next 100 years, they already have the strong desire of being pure (because that's part of observing the commandments). Therefore, in their prayers and requests, they'll ask other things (such as to INCREASE virtues, faith, charity, hope, purity, etc.). But if one is still battled by the 'decision' itself, if one still has a weak desire of maintaining oneself chaste and pure always with no exceptions, then his or her prayers/requests will be weak. They won't be very 'convinced' yet about the decision. So, things like this can happen: when praying (either mentally or verbally), the WORDS say things like "make me pure" etc. But the inner desires still, deep down, opt toward committing sins. Basically, they lack the firm resolution and desire (in this topic: for purity). Therefore, ask the DESIRE OF THAT DESIRE. The desire of the holy desires. Yes, our Lord and Our Lady know that their request will be weak, not even convinced in some cases. But that's why they're asking the desire of the desire: because that's exactly the medicine they need at that point. God knows that and appreciates their sincere effort and visits their souls with the graces, little by little, that will drive them toward the true and strong desires. The devil will tempt them to think things like: "see? nothing's happening, nothing's changing, your request is useless" and things like that. That's exactly a deception! It's a trap! Keep asking that, every day, more times/day, adding the intercession of the Blessed Virgin, Saint Joseph the most pure (super important, right after Our Lady!!!!) and of the entire Heaven and Purgatory: they'll see the change happening in their soul. Only, God is forced to make it happen VERY SLOWLY, because if it'd happen quickly, we'd be eaten up by pride. We'd dangerously fall from impurity to pride, deeply, almost subconsciously, building up a sick self-esteem that takes the place of God's grace and of our due gratitude toward God. "[4] Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abide in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in me. [5] I am the vine: you the branches: he that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for without me you can do nothing.
[6] If any one abide not in me, he shall be cast forth as a branch, and shall wither, and they shall gather him up, and cast him into the fire, and he burneth. [7] If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you. [8]" (St. John 15, 4-8)
Ah, also, very very important!!! Meditation of the eternal truths is of paramount importance. Even prayer, which is the most important thing, if alone, many times is not sufficient. We need to 'soak' the 3 powers of the soul (intellect, willpower, and memory) with the love and appreciation for the ADVANTAGES of virtues and holiness and the awareness and disdain of the DISADVANTAGES of sins and vices. Even a few lines of holy books, but REGULARLY, daily possibly. Even just 5 minutes. It literally soaks your soul and shows you nuances and facets that one couldn't even imagine. It guides, motivates. The meditation of those texts will accompany, reinforce, enlighten, motivate, and fuel the intellect. The REGULARITY and frequency of the meditation will do that with your memory. So your memory will always be aware and will constantly remind your intellect about those things and feelings. Your intellect, constantly reminded by memory, will help your willpower, and you will be fighting your battle against the devil, the world, and the flesh with 2 arms (intellect and willpower) instead of willpower alone, plus the fuel of memory. Very important. Supernaturally excellent texts such as "trustful surrender to divine providence" (St. Claude), "uniformity to God's will" (St. Alphonsus), "Introduction to the devout life" (St. Francis from Sales), "Practice of loving Jesus Christ" (St. Alphonsus), "Spiritual combat" (Scupoli, regarded very highly by St. Alphonsus and strongly recommended by him), "Preparation to death" (St. Alphonsus) are some fantastic examples of books that are free and available online for download (but I strongly recommend to buy them printed, and they're very affordable usually, the older the edition/translation, the better). "My Daily Bread" by Paone is also absolutely amazing and effective and rich and full! Not sure if it exists for free download somewhere.
God bless you all my friends!!!
Thank you so much for this video and all you do, Religious Hippie (I don't know your name, sorry)
I added an edit of crucial importance, about meditation ↑
Can you different colors of veil? Also can I wear a veil outside of church and just wear it regularly? I find it so pretty and I love wearing hats anyways so I was wondering if it was wrong to wear it all the time?
I think as long as you don’t wear it out of vanity, yes you can wear it regularly .
Amber: Great video with Great Wisdom!
If we follow those who subscribe to the doctrine of women wearing veils, then it can be argued that the most often cited verse is 1st Corinth. 11:5, which states:
“But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.”
According to many of those who believe women ought to wear veils this verse supposedly implies that a woman’s uncovered head is a woman who does not wear a veil. Such a woman is either dishonoring God, their own physical head or her husband for failing to wear it which implies that they are in disobedience. Some have gone so far as to say it is a sin. Another assumption is that the woman being referred to already has long hair and since they conclude that the covering is a veil then it must be referring to an “additional” covering otherwise it would clash with verse 15 stating that God gave women long hair for a covering. Another conclusion is that women ought to be covered ONLY when praying and prophesying which would make it seem as though it were something that can be placed on or taken off like a veil. You’ve probably noticed by now it takes several assumptions to reach the conclusion that women ought to wear a foreign object on their heads, despite the lack of evidence.
* Does the Bible really give a clear command that women should wear a veil?
The first thing that everyone must understand when talking about this topic is that it DOES NOT say the word “veil “or any other physical headwear, as far as the KJV is concerned. It surely mentions that the woman’s head should be covered, and no one disputes this, but it does not say that it should be covered with a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or any other specific headwear. The verses in question within 1st Corinthians 11 mention the words, cover, covered, uncovered, and covering, but that does not mean we can translate this to mean specifically a veil, a shawl, a bonnet, a cap, or anything else similar. In fact, it would seem more like an adverb rather than a noun. Nevertheless, the word “cover” is often unfortunately interpreted by head covering promoters to mean a veil above all other types of headwear, even if there is no evidence to prove that beyond a shadow of a doubt. To do so would mean that one is trying to read more into the verse than what is actually stated and is not truly seeking an exegesis of the Scriptures.
Some have claimed that they are referring to a physical synthetic head covering because the Scriptures seem to indicate that there are two exclusive conditions in order to wear one and that is when a woman is either praying and/or prophesying. But does this interpretation stand up to logic?
If we were to believe that under certain conditions a woman ought to wear a physical head covering, then it stands to reason that under OTHER conditions a woman should be able NOT to wear one. For example, if you are going to argue that a woman ought to wear a veil because the Bible claims there are two conditions, then it is logical to presume that any other condition would ALLOW them to be without one, like speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc.
Now if a head covering promoter should claim that there are MORE conditions, then they admit that there aren’t really “two” conditions thereby nullifying the two-condition argument.
The reasoning behind why the “two-condition” argument is important for veil promoters is because if these words were actual conditions, then it would seem as though the covering were something that can be placed on or taken off. So even though it does not literally or EXPLICITLY say anything about putting on or taking off a veil. Veil promotors form this belief based on what they believe to be IMPLIED and not by a direct statement. Many people like to believe this because they ASSUME that praying and prophesying are two conditions instead of seeing them as mere examples.
* Praying and prophesying were meant to be viewed as examples, not conditions…
Now I can understand how someone can mistakenly conclude praying and prophesying as conditions in verse 5, on the surface, but once you read the rest of the verses in context one cannot reach that conclusion. For example, if the strongest argument is because there were conditions for women to wear veils because of verse 5 then why don’t we hear the same thing spoken of about men in verse 4?
“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.”
Normally we do not hear the argument that men ought not to have their heads covered exclusively under two conditions as we hear for women as to why they should. I think it is because that would imply that they CAN have their heads covered under other circumstances like the examples I mentioned before as in speaking in tongues, interpreting tongues, healing the sick, casting out devils, etc. But I suspect a veil promoter would not go along with this. Then there is verse 7:
“For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.”
So, there seems to be ANOTHER reason for men not to cover. Therefore, if the reason for men not to cover their heads in this verse is because he is the “image and glory of God,” then why even mention praying or prophesying in verse 4? Should a man not be covered under ANY condition since verse 7 overrides any supposed conditions? Shouldn’t that make you question that perhaps Paul was just giving a couple of examples? Verses 4 and 5 are basically the same except for whom they are directed yet when one hears the arguments by veil promoters it is typically about how verse 5 is conditional for women yet for men in verse 4 it is usually not spoken of. Again, isn’t it more likely that Paul was using the words praying and prophesying as examples in both verses?
We can also get a sense that Paul was referring to praying and prophesying as examples if we read verse 13 when it only mentions the word praying and NOT prophesying.
“Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?”
If there were only two exclusive conditions, then why would he leave out prophesying? We can’t say he got tired in his writing as he mentioned both words in verses 4 and 5. So, what can we say about this? Just that Paul was giving us a couple of examples of how doing something HOLY or GODLY does not give a pleasant appearance if the woman is uncovered, meaning not covered in long hair and the same goes for men when their heads are covered in long hair since that is exactly one is supposed to understand when reading verse 14.
Can u wear a veil every time u go out?
You can
Hey Amber can I recommend a book to you. Read Why Grace Changes Everything by Chuck Smith. It helped me out a lot in my relationship with Jesus, I think it will help you too.
can you post a modest lookbook video?
How are today? Hope you all A ok.👋
Doing great thanks! Going to fast (For non-religous reasons) so excited to start my 2 day fast. So enjoying my memorial day, getting some work because I want to be the best worker at my career etc, so feeling great! How are you doing? :p
@@jasonmontoya4749 👍
I have a couple questions:
1. What are some ways of overcoming with spiritual warfare/flesh
2. How can I be a better catholic because I have a hard time with it especially in the environment I am in.
3. Should kids be dating at a young age?
4. Is there a way to help keeping up with praying.
5. What is the male version of veiling (if it's real)
6. I'd like to start a catholic TH-cam channel but I don't know where to start
-Sorry if it's to much, Please let me know and answer as much as possible! You are truly doing an amazing job! God bless you 🙏🏻
Sigh... I stumbled across your page by shear accident while doing some research on 3rd Order Carmelites and I so wish it were possible to clone you and trade in my 4 daughters for these clones. Their mother is a liberal Catholic and a feminist so getting my daughters to understand the very beauty of what you embrace has been a pointless endeavor. I am definitely going to try and get them to watch your videos. Thank you.
I’d say boys should not go shirtless; dress sharper as well am I right? This’ll make it obvious for girls to be modest too. Guys lead the way 🦾🦺
