Franciscan Sisters Of The Eucharist

[OnlySunshine]

These sisters are wonderful.. Very smart, very faithful women who have a unique vision to add to the church. I have met several and they were very strong women, with strong personalities. No fragile violets.

 

That said (and yes, admitting that nothing can be more shallow that to comment on habits and veils) their habits and veils are just ugly. 

 

But maybe they want it to be ugly so they know that people investigating religious life aren't doing it because they "like the pretty habit" and have romantic dreams about wearing it.

 

I know I'd never dream about wearing that. 

 

That's an interesting perspective!  I never thought about it like that but you may be correct.  Franciscans, after all, have great emphasis on poverty and they wear clothing to reflect the rule St. Francis put in place.  :think:
