Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm thinking more and more about doing this?? Does anyone cover? (more than just for Mass)
I was intro'd to this site:
http://www.garlandsofgrace.com/products-page/one-of-a-kind/s tretch-meg1/
And I'm thinking it looks perfect, they are beautiful!
I feel like it will give me less focus on myself, and more on the work that the Lord has given me...

What do you think? How do I go about starting? I grew up raised rather secularly (is that a word) and this would be so weird for some people to see...LOL

Other than Mass, I'm not a full-time coverer. I do wear an occasional hat/bandana or thick headband. But more for fun than personal convictions.

Those that you linked are very, very lovely. Some wouldn't cause others to blink an eye (like the thick headbands).

If you are feeling called to do it... examine your motivations and make a decision and don't look back.

That said, for me, covering at church already makes me much more conspicuous than I'd like so even if I had pure motivations, I'm not sure I'd be able to get over the self-centered (not to be confused with SELFISH) feelings I'd have being a full time head coverer. I feel the eyes on me or I'm shy about the questions so it may, FOR ME, do more harm than good.

Garlands of Grace

Those are so pretty- wow! They are really lovely.

This is an interesting topic, as my ds told me the other day that I needed to worry less about my hair. How true... I am always needing a haircut or thinking it looks uneven or wishing it would behave better in the humidity, etc.

It would almost be a relief to keep it covered and out of the way.

Oh my goodness, those are beautiful!

Most of those would not draw attention to the wearer and I think they are very feminine and classic.

My first question is always, “What does your husband think?” I think from wearing skirts full time to all sorts of other issues we face, I always like to start there...I know my husband is so good at focusing in on the “important” stuff for me ...and that may be very different than what your husband sees as your areas to work on....pray about it! I often ask the Holy Spirit to infuse my husband with wisdom to make good choices and decisions, especially if I am asking his advise.

I have to say, after seeing the website, those are so, so pretty!!!! I would like a few for veiling at church.

Thanks for sharing!!
