High praise

John Chrysostom said, "And indeed an intelligent, discreet, and pious young woman is worth more than all the money in the world."

Speaking as a young woman, I therefore found the following quote from Dr. Anthony Esolen about PHC extremely encouraging:

"And the young ladies are beautiful. They don’t wither away in class, far from it; but they wear skirts, they are modest in their voices and their smiles, they clearly admire the young men and are esteemed in turn; they are like creatures from a faraway planet, one sweeter and saner than ours."

I was not there that evening; PHC girls do not deserve such praise, honestly; but oh, is it ever cheering. It makes me cry, almost.
