#Catholic femininity

[ffcrazy15]

There's this way of doing female-ness in Christianity that I call "pastel flower journal Christianity." I've got nothing against pastel flower journals per se, but for some reason people believe it's the end all and be all of female spirituality, and I think it's a real disservice towards young Christian women.

One of these days I'd like to start a prayer-and-reading group or something for young women, but there would be no floral themes or over-focus on how "God thinks you're beautiful even if the world doesn't" (a true statement, but it's wayyyyy too often the focus in women's spiritual reading). Instead we would be reading:

Seneca's Letters from a Stoic

Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning

Sheed's A Map of Life

Portions of Pieper's book on leisure

Kreeft's Three Philosophies of Life

Guardini's The Lord (or something similar)

Therese's Story of a Soul

and some select portions of the Nicomachean Ethics.

(Also they're all getting the porn talk. I don't know why we give the porn talk to young men but not young women. There's this idea that women don't use porn and they only need the talk about "guarding their heart." Bullshit. There's porn on the YA shelves of Barnes and Nobles and before that there were bodice rippers. Young women need the porn talk too.)

Every young woman needs to be getting a basic grounding in virtue ethics, logic, natural law, scholastic philosophy and Biblical hermeneutics if they're going to get by in today's spiritual landscape. Enough faffery and emotionalism in young women's spiritual education! Give them real food to chew on, not pasty sentimentalism!

The routine of a virtuous woman to inspire your own

She wakes up earlier than all others at home - (Proverbs 31:15)

Dedicates her first moments in the morning to God (Proverbs 31:30)

Prepares the family meal with calm and organize her daily tasks (Proverbs 31:15)

Takes care of her appearance - not be complimented by people outside, but by her own family (Proverbs 31:25)

Takes care of her family needs and do the daily maintenance of her home (Proverbs 31:27)

Works with effort and dedication. Wherever she goes she’s a testimony of her family’s good reputation (Proverbs 31:13)

Tries to be creative and bring new investments and opportunities to her family (Proverbs 31:16)

Even at night she’ll save some energy and liveliness to use with her husband (Proverbs 31:18)

I feel as though Jesus has been calling me to convert to Catholic for a while…

I believe in Jesus Christ as our savior

I believe in the confessing of sins to repent daily

I also believe in the holy trinity

I also believe in the different saints and angels within the Bible

I also believe in praying to the mother of our savior

Can anyone explain the core beliefs of Catholicism a little deeper for me? What should I wear when I attend mass tomorrow? Will i be accepted as a pregnant single mother with a young baby? What should I do to prepare for daily mass? I am excited to start on this new journey within my faith and want to be obedient to God but I just want to make sure I am educated and I know that this is right for me.. where should I start? I am going to just attend mass tomorrow and keep you all updated.

"I can't stand the 'I'm not like other girls' trope!"

It's almost like we raised an entire generation of women to be ashamed of womanhood and then made fun of them when they behaved exactly how we taught them to.

If you teach girls that femininity is weakness, pink is for ditsy princesses, and that they need to "hustle" and be a "boss babe" to live a life that's "as worth much as a man's" they're going to do anything they can to make sure people know they aren't like "those girls."

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
