You guys have white habits that look an awful like the Augustinian white habit. it could be one of the reasons why OSA went to black.

I am also turning in my letter to novitiate, but at the end of the week.

Any order that follows the Rule of St. Augustine can wear the white habit and black veil. We see this not only with the Mercedarians, but also with the Norbertines, Dominicans, the Refuge, and Good Shepherd.

And the reason why the Pope wears a white simar is based on Pope St. Pius V--he was a Dominican.

I was going to ask you the same thing! Does your community have a website?

Edit: Is this it? [url="http://www.orderofmercy.org"]http://www.orderofmercy.org[/url]

A member of the Augustinian family, how wonderful!

God bless you. I will keep you in prayer.

Too bad the U.S. doesn't have cloistered Mercedarian nuns!
