Hair Trauma

[franciscanheart]

stuckinamo, if you click on "all sizes" in flickr.. it'll take you to a page with like five or six image sizes. click on the size you want and just below the photo it will give you two urls. use the basic one and put it between image tags. if you do that, you'll get this:

I cut my hair right before Thanksgiving, right in the bathroom and much to the surprise of my mom :

My long locks that went almost to mid back now hang just above my shoulders, but I like it because there isn't any "rats nest" at the base of my head anymore.

Anyway it will grow back and now my mom likes it.

does that cheer you up? LOL

why the mad face?

[Totus Tuus]

I wonder if that was an accident?

[VeniteAdoremus]

I had my hair short for about a year when I was 14. My mum loved it so much, she still asks me to cut it off again! But I won't, since people seem to have enough trouble with determining my gender as it is.

I wonder how she'd react if I ever told her my hair would have to come off again, and why

more shaved heads nuns and veils!
"Passionist nuns live some of the most austere religious lives: They shave their heads; get up at 2 a.m. every day to pray; whip themselves with small leather lashes to share in the pain of Christ’s flogging; practice long-term fasting, give up foods such as fruit and vegetables during the summer as penance, and only speak one hour a day. Their suffering, they believe, can help save lost souls."

"Although their faces seem pale and gaunt, their eyes tired with black circles, these women laugh and tell jokes and poke fun at slow-praying sisters or sisters who fall asleep during their vigils"

"Sister Marie Michelle is tall with sparkling blue eyes. If she had hair, it would be thick and black. Even without makeup and after years of less than five hours of sleep a night, her face beams a wide smile. But she is quite serious when she says she made the decision to become a nun at the age of four.

The story goes that little Marie stood on a kneeler while her mother prayed beside her. In front of them sat a nun. “I leaned over the pew and I grabbed the bottom of her veil and I picked it up to see what was underneath it. And my mom grabbed my hand and was mortified and she said: ‘Don’t touch the nun! She’s married to Jesus.’ That was it for me!.”

Where did you get this information, if you don't mind my asking? Which Passionist community is this? The Passionists still practice the discipline? I didn't realize they still did this. . .although I knew they did at one time.

My guess was that it's in St. Louis. I've been to visit them before and the grill looks familiar. And [b][url="http://www.stlvocations.org/Extreme_Living/sister_marie.shtml"]here's more from the Archdiocese's vocations website.[/url][/b]

Glory to Jesus Christ
no problem, i should of said who they were at the beggining

Passionists Nuns
The foundation of Passionist Nuns in the Archdiocese of St. Louis dates from February 1948. Cloistered contemplatives dedicated to the Passion of Jesus Christ, the nuns lead lives of prayer, silence and sacrifice centred on the Mass, the Divine Office, intercession for the Church and all mankind, and the preparation of altar breads for numerous parishes.

For more information about the Passionist Nuns, write Mother Superior;
Passionist Nuns Monastery;
15700 Clayton Road;
Ellisville, MO 63011-2300.

while NOT all passionist Monasteries do , this Community does practice the "discipline", after Matins, in the cloister exit hall, lights out, in community, leather straps on bear skin, BUT not to break the skin...just as the Missionaries of Charity, Carmelites in Pau, etc, still do today. offering their sufferings primarily for release of souls in Purgatory.

Thanks for sharing this. That was one thing that impressed me about St Louis...they had a TON of religious there! (I was a travel nurse there back in 2002.) That's impressive that they still use the discipline. Kudos to them!

Just out of curiousity, has anyone here done Locks for Love? I was thinking about doing it, but I went to schedule an appointment to get my hair cut and the stylist said my hair would be really short because they have to cut off ten inches. I decided to wait a bit so that it grows longer before I do that. My question is do they take hair with split ends? If they don't, I might as well get it cut now (keeping it longish).

[HisChild]

I haven't because I was told they won't do dyed hair either.

I'm sure they'd appreciate it without the split ends. Exactly why I didn't wait any longer. And really.. try not to wait too long! I waited and waited and mine was so damaged that it got cut really short. Yes, it's still several inches past my shoulders but compared to what it was... it's SHORT.

[veroni213]

I've never dyed/permed my hair so that's not an issue for me...it's just the fact it hasn't been cut in ages.
