Hey guys!
Just wanted to share this with the traditionalists people who have a love for the Latin Mass! Gregorian chant included.

Don’t forget to join us on March 6th 2013 at 8:30 PM EST for a rosary online in Latin! lmsociety.com
 
that’s a wonderful video. Thanks for sharing. I ,too, where a veil before the Lord’s Presence but am part of the Roman Rite. It is always good to add more beautiful reasons for wearing the veil, especially when having to explain it to someone who doesn’t.

God Bless.

All glory and praise to God!

Awesome!

I’ve found a trend in some novus ordo parishes where women wear a veil! I first witnessed one my freshman year in college! Little did I know that in the MEF, all women wear it!
 
Keep in mind – to not make head covering into some type of doctrine/dogma – as if it would be a sin to not cover.

Novus Ordo is a form of the Mass, not a type of parish. There is no such thing as a Novus Ordo parish. There is only a parish.

Thanks.

Apologies brother!

Yes you are correct. I had meant to say “Parishes that celebrate in the Novus Ordo” in the same way as you can say that “there are parishes in North Carolina that celebrate the Mass in the Extraordinary Form”. I’ll definitely be more careful next time.

God bless.

Indeed! We actually cover that in the episode as well. It’s a sign of respect to the Lord - not that not wearing it isn’t. In the same way how some children call adults “Mr. Smith” etc…
 
Also – it is coming out as deceptive and coercive – to be using the angels and St. Paul – to get women to cover. As can be seen below – the Church calls the obligation of veiling – as inspired by the customs of the period – concern scarcely more than disciplinary practices of minor importance.

It is customary – to cover for the EF – but no one should be making it into more than that.

Another objection is based upon the transitory character that one claims to see today in some of the prescriptions of Saint Paul concerning women, and upon the difficulties that some aspects of his teaching raise in this regard. But it must be noted that these ordinances, probably inspired by the customs of the period, concern scarcely more than disciplinary practices of minor importance, such as the obligation imposed upon women to wear a veil on their head (1 Cor 11:2-16); such requirements no longer have a normative value.

I have to say this. Those that know me will probably be shocked, but I kinda like when women veil, but for a very practical, self-serving reason.

There is one particularly attractive woman who goes into adoration after Mass, as do I, and she wears a veil. It hides her face as her head is bowed in prayer. It is much less distracting, and I’m certainly less tempted to steal a glance. :o I’m sure she would rather not have some creepy guy checking her out in the adoration chapel anyway.

I think some of the orthodox women who cover their entire bodies in that gauze like fabric probably have the right idea.

I just started wearing a veil a few weeks ago. I love it so much!
 
Traditionally in Western culture women wore hats to Mass, not veils. Veils came in after Jackie Kennedy wore one to Mass.

My daughters and I use a variety of covers, including hats and veils, but it must be admitted that in a culture where we don’t generally cover our heads, mantillas are very convenient - lightweight and easy to tuck in a purse or pocket. Traditionally women covered with whatever was a common head covering in the time and place they lived. In current western society, the common attire is no cover at all.

The point I was trying to make was that, contrary to what a number of traditionalists try to impose as being “traditional” (ie: veiling), are not actually traditional. It’s more traditional to pin kleenex to one’s head. (Oddly they don’t feel compelled to wear Kleenex on their heads. Would make a lovely Lenten penance).

I agree. That would be in keeping with the spirit of “humble hiddeness”.

The tradition wasn’t necessarily to wear veils to have a females head covered for mass. It was cannon law until about forty years ago, way before I was born.

Agreed. Personally, I find it a shame that women are expected to cover at EF masses a it may well deter some women from attending such masses.

Yep.

I have no problem whatsoever with women who choose to cover… of course it’s their own right if it’s what they want to do, and good for them.

However, if I was* required *to cover for any specific type of mass it would be a huge turn off and I’d probably not even go.
