Sixtina87 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 (edited) IDK. I think crazy questions are funny but times I wonder what the Sisters are thinking when we ask them those types of questions!!! although some can have a meaning but "Sister do you shave your legs??" what type of meaning is that!?!?!? that was a question a girl in my math class asked Sister when we were a freshman in HS!!! i thought it was the dumbest question ever!!!!

Just think the material that the veils are made out of a re very thin, so thin that they flap or wave in in the wind.......try putting a towel over your head and listening to people, you might get the idea what its like to do that!!!

[/quote] Mary-Kathryn! What a great question. I wondered the same thing myself. About four years ago, I went to a Continental Congress on Vocations in Canada. And there were many religious there from all over North America. And some of the talks we went to were in French (which I don't speak), so participants were given headphones to hear the translators. And the nuns wore them on the outside of their veils!!! Unbelievable! Some of the veils showed womens' ears, so they wore them "normally." But otherwise, the sisters had cloth between their ears and the head phones. So maybe they just turn up their hearing aids an extra notch! On a side note, it was in Montreal that I first met the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist!!! PS- Alter Dom.... when are you going to see her? She spoke at the EWTN Anniversary celebration in St. Louis last weekend, but I wasn't able to go. Edited May 19, 2006 by shortnun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Elizabeth Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 I met Mother Assumpta in person when I attended the Nashville Dominicans' January 1983 vocation retreat. In addition to being very impressed by her, I was also struck by her great resemblance to my (non-Catholic) mother. I turned 30 in '88. I'm looking at communities, but not very hard right now as it's going to be a few years before I'd be free to enter.
