Deus te Amat Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I'm going to Mass in the AM. I'm planning on wearing one of my B&W outfits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Believe it or not, I don't have a black or a white skirt So that's going to be a black and white t-shirt and either a pink or orange skirt... I'm so looking forward to the Office of Readings! I haven't peaked yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deus te Amat Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Well, I have either: a white OR black dress shirt, or a white t-shirt with a cross and the word "purity" in black, and a black skirt with white designs or a white skirt with black designs. I dont know which I'm going to wear yet. Office of readings!! Very excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DameAgnes Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Lovely pic. I've always wondered, are the habits cumbersome to wear, with the rosary beads so long, and the scapular? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominicansoul Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) They feel very comfortable. And they make you more beautiful than you have ever been in your whole life! Also, the first time you wear it, something really happens to your mannerisms. You become transformed into a very graceful lady...even if you've been a tomboy all your life... The Rosary was always breaking, because it was gigantic, and it got caught on everything. I know I just said it made me graceful, but I think I had a lot of trouble keeping things in place...like my cape would go sideways all the time. And, once, my belt broke and all the things I had attached to my belt made a huge crashing noise in the De Profundis hall (to the delight of the rest of the sisters who had a great laugh over that...when the belt is off the habit, it flows freely, and there is more material in the Dominican habit than anything. You can fit 5 sisters in one when it isn't sewn to form....it wasn't cumbersome, though...it was very very comfortable...) The Scapular was special, and we couldn't sit on it, so we had to always move it out of the way before sitting down. I loved the practice of kissing our scapulars after we genuflected.

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Okay, in the hopes that I won't fall asleep at mass (9AM mass starts in 8.5 hours) I'm going to bed now Oh, and don't forget to pray for the [i]massive[/i] amounts of couples getting married today in an effort by the woman to help her future husband remember the date Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RosaMystica Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Today was the last day of my novena to St. Dominic. I've developed a close friendship with him, I think, in these past nine days. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be Sr. Domenica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Therese Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I switched shifts with a co-worker so I will be able go to Mass before work. I'm really looking forward to being able to celebrate the Feast by going to Mass. Plus, I plan to make it a special day of prayer to St. Dominic about my vocation situation. Yay!
