I too continue to wear the full religious habit in the traditional style. I tried to wear a modified veil for a long time with the habit but i finally got sick of trying to always keep it from falling off so I have returned to wering a white toque as the veil now stays in place.

For me I find the habit not only a personal help but also have the repeated experience of people approaching me with questions, sharing their difficulties, or even just saying how good it makes them feel to see a sister in a habit as it makes them think for a second og God. It is not a status symbol for me, nor is it a rigid holding on to tradition. Rather it is a loving embracing of th tradition I have professed in all its' beauty. Yes i could wear a modified habit but really, I find the long habit more comfortable and modest. Also to me wearing the habit is in obedience to the teachings of the church. However it must be also remembered that there are some communities who because of their work never wore a habit.

I have no criticism of those who choose not to. I only know what my heart and conscience tells me what works. For me the habit works on a number of levels and that is just as OK as those who choose not too.

I agreee we are going in a backlash concerning religious life and that is good for new vocations, as young people wish to give themselves radically to God and in a world that has all but lost the value of meaningful symbolism it is important witness to young vocations.

If is up to Rome to say whether all religious must go back to the habit, not me, so no judgment here.

Just my opinion.

tenderly,

Sister Emmanuel HSMC-A

Dear Thomas, Sister Kasandra, et all:

I wear either clerics or my habit in my daily life. For me it has been a purpose and a direction and I personally swear by it. I taught for years and always wore a collar. I visit jails, hospitals and nursing homes and work as a DRE and I'm always seen in clerical garb or a habit.

I agree with part of what you have both said. Still, for it's time Vatican II spoke sensibily of this issue. When nuns were wearing wool habits in the dead of summer in New Orleans, Miami or the tropics, it was absurd. When Sisters had perpetually wet heads due to the head gear, it was unhealthy and silly. I agree, in some cases we went the other extreme. This human condition has repeatedly happened after every Church Council. There is a swift move to the extreme and then back again and finally a sensible middle ground. We are approaching the back again realm and in about 30 years we'll meet a sensible ground. Those of us in the middle of this phase just have to hold on. lest the wind catch us up.

I think the Visitation is a good thing. And most likely, Brothers will be visited next. There have been horrilbe abuses and many vocations have suffered. When I entered in 1971 there were 38 in my class. One of those is in that order today. That I do not believe was the work of God. Many abues in formation occured and the habit was just one of them. Still, I want to state that many good and holy religious work without habit and work very effectively. There is not right or wrong here. For some, it is helpful for others it is not. I personally hope the Church allows us, blesses us and affirms us to live our vows and consecrated life as we feel so called. If for some a habit is important, then wear it. If for others it is not, then leave them alone. For me, I'm still going to use my Brother's collar or habit.

Dear Sr. Kasandra,

i fully agree to what you have said. With Habit disappearing in the streets faith also has vanished. The Habit is a vital sign of christianity which should not be given up. Vatican II was good, but in this respect it was a failure.

Dear Bro. Harry,

I appears that Rome doesn't feel the same way you do, either about religious
sisters and the vows, their apostalates or what they wear.
Certainly not all, but a good many religious women have gone off the rails and
that is why vocations have declined so much in the last 30-40 years. What we can
trust is that God continues to call women to religious life and they will
respond when the Holy Spirit is reflected in religious communities, when it
isn't, the vocations dry up!

As you must know, religious communities with their vows are at the service of
the Church and it's people. That is determined by Rome and the local Bishops!

OOOH, they look much too smart and efficient for me, they look  like the
managers at work looked  BEFORE i RETIRED , all young and  dynamic and   full of
"modernisation" and "bear with me" lines.
I am sure theya re excellent nuns/sisters and very nice and holy  but, being a 
person who seemed doomed to never be tidy and smart even when I try something is
wrong ( not to mention the dog hairs!) myself, I find it all a bit
intimidating.I suppose its silly, its only clothes after all.

Sorry but nuns in mufti come over to me as religious minded ladies who live a
dedicated life, if I was a mufti nun I would refuse to dress like that under any
circs, for me its jeans or long skirt, woolly jumper or tunic top in summer, a
yak shawl today as its cold, long hair tied back and no make up. I still get
along fine with folks so I guess thre is room for all kinds, but "smart" women 
can make you feel scruffier than you are, though at my age I dont care--I am
like that old woman in the poem dressing in purple and doing her own thing,

Im sorry but I really feel that the reason most orders are diminished is because they no longer wear the habits. I would be interested in knowing if the groups mentioned have had problems recruiting? Just a thought.

Yes they mean sisters, unless they are talking about cloistered nuns! A site
like this evokes such sadness in me! Young women are encouraged to think of a
"vocation to the religious life" much the same as any other career, so why not
dress and live like any other career woman does?

I don't for one moment question these women's intentions however I would
encourage them to ask themselves, "where does my vocation and it's lifestyle fit
with the traditions and teachings of the Church?"

Those with vocations to the relgious life are called to be set apart from the
laity, to look and live differently and to be an example of what to strive for.

I believe this is why more 'traditional' communites are flourishing!

I finally got around to watching this video.

I wish I knew which orders and congregations are represented. I could
identify Benedictines,
Dominicans, Cistercians, Carmelites and Visitandines, but am not sure of
the others.

Lots of nice shots of St. Peter's, St. Peter's Square, and the public
area around the Vatican,
especially along the Via della Conciliazone[sp]. (The Via is the avenue
between the Tiber
River and St. Peter's Square.) Also, there were lots of shots of the
Abbey of Tre Fontane,
which has three churches dedicated to St. Paul. (It is a functioning
abbey with
a nice little shop that sells products produced in Italian religious
communities.)

Thankyou very much for finding that out for me Gemma.  Over time I've managed to
shed having a bank account, credit cards or anything else which is an instrument
of the modern banking system, but I don't think I could quite manage not
touching money as yet.  May God+ ever bless and keep this new community and I
shall remember them in my prayers.

Joy in Christ+

The light brown habits that both the men and women were wearing indicate
membership in a new religious community which is itinerant and does not even
touch money.  They are Franco-Carmelite, which is why the small brown scapular
is worn over the heart.  I believe they are based in Italy.  They have been
discussed on Phatmass.

If anyone has any further information on them, please let us know.

Blessings,
Gemma

sister wearing the same style of habit as I do myself.

Dear Katie,

thanks for your response. Was just a thought. I do not a have an extra section
for the SSOP in our photo section. I think the  played an important role in US
history, especially during the Civil war.
I will go through my archives and post some p photos

Regards
Thomas

This habit is one of my favorites. What I didn't know is that this white brim is
sperate from the hood. Do they have special names for the differnt parts?

Oh Gemma, what an amazing video.  There were so many habits I didn't recognise
at all.  In particular I was delighted by the picture of the two brothers and a
sister wearing a very simple brown Franciscan style habit.  I wondered if the
sister was a canonical Hermit or Anchoress as she was wearing a cowl with a hood
along with a simple brown headscarf.  Us hermit types don't get seen out and
about much for obvious reasons, but it was lovely to see another religious
sister wearing the same style of habit as I do myself.

Blessings always,

Anne
