Jesus Teaches

This week we discussed how Jesus teaches us. I wanted the students to realize that their primary morals teachers are their parents. We get our morals from God and his communication to us through the Bible. We also learn from Jesus' example as he lived. They can also learn from the clergy of course.
Before class we learned about the parable of the talents. In class we talked about our special gifts that God gives us. Just students came up with a list skills, the Earth and nature, loved ones, The Word, and health. When the body came up, one of the gifts that I made a point of including besides those is the gift of sexuality. I wanted to make a point of bringing modesty into the discussion. It was very brief. I suggested to the girls and the guys that they dress and act modestly.
Our Catechism says this:
2523 There is a modesty of the feelings as well as of the body. It protests, for example, against the voyeuristic explorations of the human body in certain advertisements, or against the solicitations of certain media that go too far in the exhibition of intimate things. Modesty inspires a way of life which makes it possible to resist the allurements of fashion and the pressures of prevailing ideologies.
2524 The forms taken by modesty vary from one culture to another. Everywhere, however, modesty exists as an intuition of the spiritual dignity proper to man. It is born with the awakening consciousness of being a subject. Teaching modesty to children and adolescents means awakening in them respect for the human person.
