"Our earthly liturgies must be celebrations full of beauty and power: Feasts of the Father who created us—that is why the gifts of the earth play such a great part: the bread, the wine, oil and light, incense, sacred music, and splendid colors. Feasts of the Son who redeemed us—that is why we rejoice in our liberation, breathe deeply in listening to the Word, and are strengthened in eating the Eucharistic Gifts. Feasts of the Holy Spirit who lives in us—that is why there is a wealth of consolation, knowledge, courage, strength, and blessing that flows from these sacred assemblies." unknown source possibly YOUCAT Mal.1.11 For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith theLord of hosts.

Morals/modesty

“The problem with pornography is not that it shows too much of a person but that it shows too little.” The same can be said about immodesty, which turns a person into a body whose purpose is to arouse as opposed to a unique and unrepeatable person whose purpose is to be loved.”
‘In learning to defend modesty, we must cultivate the attitude that the human body is not something shameful to hide but something powerful to control that is capable of helping or harming others. The human form is like a nuclear reactor that must be shielded so that it creates electricity without causing harm to anyone via its powerful emission of radioactive energy’.
