I am so glad that there are others out there that feel the same as I do! <br />I heard a comment the other day from someone who as upset that another had said that women should come modestly dressed to Mass and that coming in jeans was disrespectful. The comment was that God doesn't care what we wear bu that we're there and loves us no matter what. This made me so sad! Yes, He loves us as we are, but coming to Mass is for God! It is what we give to God and if we can't come r4everently with the absolute belief that we go to honor the King of Kings and Lord of Lords in something other than our street clothes, then, that is sad. <br />Same thing about the nuns in street clothes. We are called to something better! What we wear absolutely refects who we are and what is important to us. I pray for our priests and religious that they all seek to serve Him and be set apart for all of us. <br />Thanks-you for this post, my dear!! <br />DarleneDarlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08844573724608586990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-57227555193874543792011-01-31T18:37:21.225+11:002011-01-31T18:37:21.225+11:00I agree totally about clericals and habits.

The long totally covering habit and veil was very hot and uncomfortable for Western Sydney conditions. I was thinking that a lighter, more modern habit might be acceptable. It seems sensible while still saying "I am a nun". I know my daughter suffered greatly in the heat, especially when she had to work outside.

And any Catholic in Chicago would flinch at the site of her!!! lol.....she's a fabulous lady--just pretty darned intimidating!! When she got to wear "street clothes" in the late 60s it was made her no less imposing than the black/white wool Benedictine habit of old! <br />Sorry I haven't stopped by much lately!

And yes very sad that you don't see many priests in clericals.<br /><br />Father, very true! If what you wear really has no effect on the vocation,( which I question) then why not wear the habit? As my kids say, why become a nun or monk if you dont want to wear the habit?Leoniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596513344737230084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15130664.post-21224357165438948842011-01-26T09:55:43.474+11:002011-01-26T09:55:43.474+11:00Excellent blog post as always!!!

Well to that I add, if a habit doesn't make a monk, neither do jeans, or in Sister's case, makeup and dyed hair!!!!Fr.

The priests I know personally don't wear clericals except for Mass - sad really. <br /><br />A few years ago we spent some time with the Brothers and Sisters of St. John. How nice to see joy-filled young people in full habit.<br /><br />Fr. Sebastian talks about wearing his clericals on an airplane trip here: http://clevelandpriest.blogspot.com/2011/01/monday-diary-strangers-in-night.htmlBeatenoreply@blogger.com
