emmaberry Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 The SofL habit is so beautiful. When the sisters came to my college, I got a picture with them 'for my dad' I said--lol, that was code for 'I am documenting myself with these gorgeous habits!!!....and sisters' It's sad, because, though I am called to contemplative cloistered life, I LOVE the active order's habits so much! Dominicans (ND & MME), Sisters of Life, and the Missionaries of Charity sari habit is also a fave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen'sDaughter Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Let me think...Benedictine? Black and white, all the way! Especially my order. The novice's veils look just like dove wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Safia Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 I'm biased, but I love the Dominicans' simplicity, in all its forms. This is the project that started me down my path of discernment, which gives great imagery: http://www.tonigreaves.com/gallery.html?folio=projects&gallery=Radical%20Love And the multimedia: http://www.tonigreaves.com/pages/3/multimedia/multimedia/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AveMariaPurissima Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Lots of orders have beautiful habits, but (in my ultra-unbiased opinion ) my hands-down favorite is the Trinitarians of Mary: [img]http://www.trinitariansofmary.org/images/About%20Us/Sisters-fountian-edited-2.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.trinitariansofmary.org/images/Vocations/Hna_Bernadette.jpg[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Visitation Nuns in Toledo, Ohio. their website is toledovisitation.org They're really razzle dazzle, you can visit them and you can stay inside the cloister, so you really see what their life is like. I'm hoping to visit them again sometime soon. They let girls over 14 make a vocation retreat inside, you just have to have a priest send them a letter of reccomendation.

Alberto Guimaraes Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 :heart: Very true. And remember that clothes of this type are only for this world. Won't we wear white robes in Heaven? I also remember reading how St. Francis received incredibly beautiful clothing in Heaven because he chose the least and poorest of all clothing for this world. But to answer the question in a down-to-earth way, I love the contrasting colors of the Redemptoristine Nuns. Also the Servants of the Lord and the Virgin of Matara. And others that have been mentioned. But my all-time favorite is probably this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
