dominicansoul Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 it reminds me of me in the convent...i pretty much was always discombobulated Mother would always come into a room where I was, shift things around (my cape, my sleeves, my veil) and ask, "Don't you girls see this? why don't you help her?"

DiscerningCatholic Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) [quote name='dominicansoul' timestamp='1349755031' post='2491536'] it reminds me of me in the convent...i pretty much was always discombobulated Mother would always come into a room where I was, shift things around (my cape, my sleeves, my veil) and ask, "Don't you girls see this? why don't you help her?" [/quote] Honestly, I'm rather afraid that that will be me... I can't even get my chapel veil to stay on during Mass or Adoration. Tie it behind my head ("nun style" as some of my friends call it) and it gets untied and falls off the back. Don't tie it and have it slide down the sides of my head. What is that stiff thing under their veils? I kept forgetting to ask and, let's face it, I would just look stupid. Does it help them stay on or something? HOW CAN YOUR SLEEVES BE ON WRONG? Do you have to sew your habit together piece by pece every day after you get into it? Because if you do...I'm in trouble. (If you have to sew your own habit together ONCE, I'm still gonna be in trouble. #CantSew) Edit to add: About the sleeves thing... now that I think back on it, they wear like, 3 tunics (and a cape...and a scapular...), don't they? Yeah, that's gonna be fun on home visits. Edited October 9, 2012 by DiscerningCatholic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
