She does look happy! I had to chuckle, though, because that picture looks like they told her to go stand in the middle of the flower bed. I hope the gardener didn't mind! LOL

She looks great. I really love that habit! I have a question but I am going to start a new topic.

I found a video on these sisters while I was looking at the catholic.org website:

It looks like a beautiful community with very happy Sisters and God bless them.

But I just *have* to say that I don't think I would last for half an hour after investiture before pulling that ... THING ... off from around my neck.

The world's shortest novitiate!

Krissylou--I agree. Someone once called wimples one of the most flattering pieces of clothing ever designed for a woman, and many wimples are very flattering. You may not see it now, but, as you get older, a wimple hides virtually every sign of aging.

I have no idea if wimples are uncomfortable or not. I suspect some are and some aren't, and the ones that are uncomfortable are likely seen as a form of penance, as well as tradition.

However, I would feel like I was being strangled--just like some men feel strangled by neckties.

Don't worry, in the PPC the Oblates won't wear wimples. And, I suspect that many of not all the Sisters/nuns won't wear wimples, either. As well as possibly being uncomfortable, they look hard to keep clean, and as if they would require a lot of ironing, etc.

If you suddenly find yourself called to be a contemplative Dominican, the Summit NJ Dominicans (among others) don't wear wimples (or cape sleeves).

I agree. I thought they looked like those rings women in Africa put around their necks to lengthen them. God would have to give me a LOT of grace to wear a simple like that. :lol:
