When I saw the new Vatican “mascot”, these were my first thoughts. “We’re living in an age of immaturity. Even grown women, feel the need to stay youthful. Maturity is not met with beauty anymore. (When I was a child I acted like a child. When I grew up, I put away childish things) Some days, I contemplate why women dye their hair and wear makeup. It’s not inherently sinful but it does give emphasis that getting old/mature is not desirable. All the anti-aging messages and products of the modern world lead to a change of mindset. When I was a little girl, I never wondered why my grandmother didn’t try to dress trendy, wear makeup or dye her hair. My grandmother had a special place of worth, dignity, matriarchy, respect. She was a beautiful, mature woman in my eyes ❤️
