That must have been before the tradition started dying out. I love that tradition but I've only seen 1 or 2 women veiling at my parish. I wish there would be a lot more participation. I'd probably be inclined to veil, too. That's wonderful that you do! And Chevy Chase, yup! ha!Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08992807714484812147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-10846015235729676252017-06-27T11:32:19.761-04:002017-06-27T11:32:19.761-04:00And I never heard that about 3-5 people.

I have other newer veils, but the lace they're made with isn't nearly as soft!Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-49239932758697620192017-06-27T11:28:29.147-04:002017-06-27T11:28:29.147-04:00One of my daughters-in-law knew him, too, and told...One of my daughters-in-law knew him, too, and told us how lucky we were to have him.

I've been veiling for 8 years now (I just counted that, and can't believe it's been that long!) and it's such a special devotion for me.<br /><br />Knowing when to encourage a vocation is so tricky! They do say it takes mentioning from 3-5 different people before a vocation call is taken seriously.Kirbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273803585943545418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-6856159375963112482017-06-27T08:33:48.712-04:002017-06-27T08:33:48.712-04:00The CIA priest sounded familiar, so I looked up yo...The CIA priest sounded familiar, so I looked up your parish, and I was right - he was a parochial vicar at my home parish growing up! We loved him 😊 So glad you get to experience him now - I highly recommend having him over for dinner, he's got a million fascinating stories to tell!Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888635342531960478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-60027513644030588162017-06-26T07:06:32.077-04:002017-06-26T07:06:32.077-04:00<3<3Rinihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03781539555417795467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-73775924591697860402017-06-25T22:59:01.538-04:002017-06-25T22:59:01.538-04:00The wrap is absolutely gorgeous.

(But would I get red paint thrown at me if I actually decided to wear it outside of our house?)<br /><br />I am actually thinking that if and when my youngest son gets married, if it's a fall or a winter wedding, I'm going to wear the wrap and gloves to the church!!Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-58896589637769017462017-06-25T21:49:46.798-04:002017-06-25T21:49:46.798-04:00I was just thinking about you earlier today!

Also, I am in love with the intrigue and fashion of the wrap with elbow length gloves!<br /><br />So excited to see you back on this link up!Beautiful Camouflaged Messhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17648096506121680946noreply@blogger.com
