ToJesusMyHeart Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hey HB and TT, I think I've asked this before, but if you could remind me...do the SMMC celebrate the EF often? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i<3franciscans Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 [quote name='petitpèlerin' timestamp='1350991618' post='2496263'] I've never wanted to be a nun. I told my spiritual father that I would be a nun if I could wear a hood. (I've been wearing hoodies half my life and feel naked without a hood.) Then I discovered the Sisters of Bethlehem. Now it's our joke that they're the "nuns with hoods". Wish I could figure out how to post a photo but I do love their habits: simple and monastic.

Carmelshrimp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Oh dear! I turn my back for a couple of days and every colour under the sun turns up claiming to be better than brown! What's the Church coming to? I have a running discussion with a Benedictine friend about how flattering black is, but he's missing the point - as I keep telling him. The Carmelite habit isn't wonderful because it's beautiful, it's beautiful because it's Carmelite, and as far as I'm concerned that says it all. (In terms of sartorial elegance I admit it may bear some resemblance to a potato sack, but it's still Carmelite and therefore still beautiful). I have a feeling that if I keep going round in these circles I may become somewhat dizzy, so I shall withdraw before vertigo sets in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikita92 Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Just my own idea..their Grey habit seems to me a tad bit informal. I also think the Poor Clares of Our Lady Of the Angels monastery are very commanding. I guess I lean more towards the Traditional look..and I seem to like that the face and all of one's hair is covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] When Cardinal Dolan came to Camp V. this year Sr. Kelly Francis was there (she professed first vows last year) and he made a point to talk to her and see "how she was doing" since her profession.

The Friars adopted the grey habit because that is the color of the tunic St. Francis wore. The Sisters adopted the same color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
