MONEY RUNS or RUINS the HOME
by Daniel A. Lord, S.J.
He blessed those who did not love money, who were not attached to it, who were ready to give it up for the higher things — yes even in exchange for the joy and privilege of following Him.
He warned against the danger of riches, a danger which He saw with divine wis-dom and His experience as man. He too lived that happy, middle-class life, work-ing at a moderately successful trade in a moderately successful carpenter shop, buying the necessities for His mother’s house and providing her with the things they both needed.
He bade us beg for the simple essentials of life when we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” He promised that His heavenly Father would watch over the temporal necessities of those who trusted in Him. He asked us not to focus our hearts on riches nor in miserly fashion to bury money — as the servant in the parable buried the talent — in the earth. Knowing how sad can be the quarrels over money and how deep can be the rot produced by the love of money, He saw money only in its use, as something to be employed to make others happy, as something to further our work as stewards of God’s visible world.
And when His Apostle came later to talk of money, he sadly declared that “the desire of money is the root of all evils.” It is important to note that He did not say that money itself is the root of evil. Money can be used to produce amazing good. But the desire of it, the hankering for it, the lust for riches and the longing for wealth, lead to all sorts of temptations, to unspeakable crimes, to the miserable mur-ders and wars of history.
Prayerfully
So we must approach the whole subject of money in the home prayerfully.
We can pray that God will give us enough for our needs and our comforts.
We can ask Him to provide us with sufficient money to make our home a place of happiness, security and peace.
But we are very, very wise indeed if we add an immediate prayer that none of our family may become rich. In all honesty and with real love of our own near and dear we can ask: “From wealth and riches, O Lord, deliver us.”
We can hurry on then to ask God to protect us against the sins that so often surround money. May we be protected from family squabbles over money. May we never be plunged into contests or lawsuits over inheritances. May we never feel the effects of family selfishness and greed.
In our own little personal litany, we can beg:
From too little money,
From too much money,
From selfishness and meanness about money,
From too intense a love of what in itself is valueless,
O Lord, deliver us.
A Little Like God
Every member of the family should start by determining to be, where money is concerned, as generous as possible.
And while that generosity begins with the father and the mother, it is by no means confined to the parents alone.
The father and the mother take in relationship to their children somewhat the position of God’s blessed providence. With the money that is theirs, they buy the food for the table and the clothes for the family. They supply those elements which make the difference between a comfort-able and attractive house and one full of ugly, unattractive, broken furniture. They provide care in illness and the means for education and recreation. They are godlike in their possibilities, God’s vicars in their disposal of the family income.
Provident Generosity
Hence, following the example of the lavish Father in heaven, the parents, as joint custodians and dispensers of the family funds, must take toward money an attitude of provident generosity.
Both words are important, provident and generosity.As far as their income warrants, they must be generous in providing the comforts and necessities of the home.

1. The question is, what exactly does it mean, to dress modestly?
2. What does the Catholic Church say on the matter?
On January 12, 1930, the sacred Congregation of the Council, by mandate of Pope Pius XI, has issued emphatic instructions on modesty of dress to all bishops, directing them to insist on these prescriptions:
"We recall that a dress cannot be called decent which is cut deeper than two fingers breadth under the pit of the throat, which does not cover the arms at least to the elbows, and scarcely reaches a bit beyond the knee. Furthermore, dresses of transparent material are improper.
Women must be decently dressed, especially when they go to church. The parish priest may, with due prudence, refuse them entrance to the church and access to the reception of the Sacraments, [each] and every time that they come to church immodestly dressed." (General Pastoral Directive, 1915 A.D.)
"Girls and women dressed immodestly are to be debarred from Holy Communion and from acting as sponsors at the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation; further, if the offense be extreme, they may even be forbidden to enter the church." [Decree of the Congregation of the Council, 1930 A.D.]
