Veiled in Grace

Yes, it's the same Jesus at both masses. I cover in the presence of the Eucharist whether there is a mass or not.

Six years ago my pastor asked me to cantor the Latin Mass in our parish. I would sing a High Mass, then drive back to our main church for the Novo Ordo Mass. I realized it was silly to veil for one Mass but not the other, so I ended up wearing a veil to both Masses. Now, I find it comforting to acknowledge my femininity before God and others, though few women at the Novo Ordo Mass veil, invariably someone comes up to me after Mass and says they are glad to see me wearing the veil. It seems to spark something in people. It reminds me to be reverent before the holy sacrifice of the Mass, perhaps it reminds others of that as well.

Hi everyone please join in this http://www.saintmichaelthearchangelorganization.org/
it is the worldwide rosary crusade for One million Rosaries to be prayed in May to end abortion. There is a bulletin you can print off for your Parish or to give to people. Get the word out

OK, thanks Lutgardis87!
God bless!

CruceSignati (Dec 5th): A month late... sorry... I have to say, I have never been in a situation where wearing a skirt has been seen as somehow the "crazy" option, particularly not for church, as I was raised to see Sunday Mass as being something worth dressing up for, and skirts can often be seen as something a bit more formal, at least in England, where I'm from. It's good that you respect your mother's concerns, but I wondered whether the skirt issue might be something where she fears you doing something different from her, particularly as regards your relationship with God and the Church. Maybe she is worried about you feeling the pressure to conform to some kind of gender stereotype which she doesn't feel she has raised you to? It seems like this is something to do with your personal taste, and a difference of opinion you are perfectly entitled to have, and to make your own choices about. Maybe think about the way you explain your choice to your mother: if you say that you want to dress more elegantly for Mass because you feel it's important, and you think skirts are a good way to do this, that you're comfortable with, then it doesn't sound like she would have much room to object. But skirts aren't somehow sacred: they are just items of clothing (although they can be very pretty and elegant). It's dressing in what you think is appropriate for Mass that is important rather than the precise outfit that you wear. Speaking personally, my favourite winter combination would be black trousers, heels, and a nice sweater (but that might be because my winter skirts are a bit boring). As for veiling, take it slowly, God doesn't pressure anyone... maybe let your mother get used your wearing a skirt first...

Hi, I'm wondering about something concerning the wearing of skirts to Mass and I thought I might ask you all about it. My mom doesn't want me to turn into a "crazy skirt lady" as she calls them. Over the Christmas season, I decided to wear a skirt to Mass because I look and feel a bit more like a woman. But my mom voiced her concern, and out of respect for her I went back to wearing pants.
Also, I want to start veiling, but heaven only knows what she would say to that!

Answers to veiling can be found in your mass book, go to symbols, some have a black star by them, some dont, the true Roman Church teaches children about veils these are great mysteries, but let me give you a hint, black means something and represents a church from the past, nuns, and widows, the white are chosen they have and are dedicated to Christ and his church, and so read your mass book, the latin is better,,,I would never have known that if I didnt ask the HOLY MOTHER

I posted about veiling, but my post dissapeared, didnt matter.............anywhoooo.....It is 1010 Am here in Stewartville Minnesota.........9/11/ 2012 How wonderful to find women who love the traditional practices.........God knows the heart of those who love him....I wear a veil at mass........out of revereance for my Lord and my God, he is soooooooooooooo wonderful, we are sooooooo lucky to have a divine religion. What other Faith can say that we have access to all the Host of Heaven?

Hello Ladies.......how wonderful to find other women who love to veil, I make my veils, and crocheted one recently. I was happy with the end result. I am so in love with our Church, FAITH, we have a divine religion, with divine, members, when I feel melancholy I know that I AM SO BLESSED, My husband and I still are searching for a traditional mass church,

I tried veiling at my church...I felt funny wearing a BLACK veil..( I am 54 and in a relationship for 10 years..) I don't want to feel like I look like a widow or giving off funeral images! lol So I stopped... I decided to have one made instead. Went to a fabric storeand found some beautiful deep blue lacey material The perimeter will have a rounded edge instead of a traditional triangled point. I'm excited about it!! I will then be one of only TWO women who veil in my church!!
