shortnun Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 [quote name='Totus Tuus' post='1157319' date='Jan 6 2007, 09:41 AM'] OLAMDad gave it to me It's pretty interesting. [/quote] I've read the book as well. I wish there were more pictures. But it was an interesting read. I do not wear a mantilla. Perhaps one reason I do not, is I do not have a parish community. I have a work-church community, and I work at two additional parishes, and sometimes attend mass at a third parish. And if I wore a veil, I would want my decision to be respected by the larger community and respectful of that community (and most importantly motivated by my respect for Jesus).
TeresaAvila Posted January 6, 2007 Posted January 6, 2007 I have read this book and highly recommend it! God Bless You!

HisChild Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 [quote name='VeniteAdoremus' post='1157722' date='Jan 6 2007, 04:58 PM'] That veil looks HIGHLY uncomfortable. [/quote] Can you even BEGIN to fathom driving in that thing????

[/quote] Never mind driving, it reminds me of the "Flying NUN"!!! That scarifice with wearing that kind of headgear must have saved souls thou!
HeavenlyCalling Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 I thin it's kinda cool looking, but I have never worn one. When you see that headgear, you always know what order it is though, even in movies. I like to be able to tell at a glance what order a person is from.

she_who_is_not Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul, like St. Catherine Laboure
HeavenlyCalling Posted January 7, 2007 Posted January 7, 2007 When I was watching the 'Phantom of the Opera', they have a nun with the old man. Mysister was like 'who is that' and me ( with my useless trivia) was like 'DAUGHTERS OF CHARITY OF ST. VINCINT DE PAUL' But you can always tell the SMME, the Servents of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara, the Missionaries of Charity, and the PCPA's just from one look, and I like that. Probably because it makes me feel smart, but still.
franciscanheart Posted January 7, 2007 Author Posted January 7, 2007 Well I like the CFR habit.. even if you can't tell who they are in one glance.
HeavenlyCalling Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 I like their habit too, it's very poor, but at the same time, it's just what a habit should be. But I still like to know what order it is from a glance.
brendan1104 Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 Denise- your question answers why they modified their headpiece from the coronet to a veil.
HisChild Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 My question? you mean, driving in that monstrosity? LOL I know that it's difficult driving in the PCPA veil. I can't fathom that thing. . .it's an accident waiting to happen.

Piamaria Posted January 8, 2007 Posted January 8, 2007 My hair is long and thick. I wore it all week in a French Braid. That worked pretty well. Don't know about the Postulant's veil. I guess they'll show me how to wear it.

[/quote] When I was in Ann Arbor, Sister Thomas Aquinas was our driver in one of the fifteen passanger vans to take us to the school Friday night to set up the retreat [literally] the first thing she did after she buckled up was put her veil over her shoulder. :
