“A good youth ought to have a fear of God,
to be subject to his parents, to give honor
to his elders, to preserve his purity;
he ought not to despise humility, but should
love forbearance and modesty.
All these are an ornament to youthful years.”
~ Saint Ambrose

What a wonderful list of virtues. Somehow, therese ornaments look more like New Year’s to me.
