A thought on veiling

“It is a big mistake to think that the number one reason the mighty women of yore adorned their heads with lace was to prevent men from lust. Chapel veils or mantillas (manta meaning “mantle” or “cloak”), are beautiful pieces of lace draped over a women’s head as a reminder to the world that God was born of a woman, that God has betrothed himself to the Church, and the Church is a sacred vessel. God can touch a woman in a way he cannot touch a man. He can fill her with life. The number one reason why head coverings are awesome is because only sacred vessels are veiled, and women are sacred.” Father Timothy Geckle
