Why veil?
“Jesus is here! In the Blessed Sacrament, what was once bread and wine becomes Jesus’ body and blood, he is here for you and he is here for me. Jesus’ Holy sacrifice, reaches for us to come and receive him, It is in that moment of receiving him that he is saying to us, I love you, I love you, I love you! “
I cover my head in humility and love. Bowing before my life giving Lord, when I veil I find I am in constant awe of his love for me and am fully aware of his true presence. Receiving him or being in his presence begins a dialogue between us, just Father and Daughter, and at that very moment all that matters, is that, I am his and he is mine. MLW
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions even as I have delivered them to you. But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God. Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled dishonors her head—it is the same as if her head were shaven. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her wear a veil. For a man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. That is why a woman ought to have a veil on her head, because of the angels. Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God. Judge for yourselves; is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? Does not nature itself teach you that for a man to wear long hair is degrading to him, but if a woman has long hair, it is her pride? For her hair is given to her for a covering. If any one is disposed to be contentious, we recognize no other practice, nor do the churches of God. 1 Corinthians 11:1-16
