The Beauty of Veiling at Mass: A Personal Reflection

As I sit in the pew, my veil gently covering my head, I am reminded of the rich history and spiritual significance of this ancient tradition. For over 1500 years, Christian women have veiled at Mass, and I am humbled to be a part of this legacy.

One reason I veil is to connect with the generations of women who have come before me. If this tradition was worthy of their devotion, why should it not be worthy of mine? In an era where traditions are often discarded, I find comfort in embracing this timeless practice.

Veiling also helps me maintain my focus on God during Mass. It serves as a gentle reminder that I am in a holy place, and that my presence is not about me, but about worshiping Almighty God. In a world filled with distractions, my veil helps me stay centered on what truly matters. When a woman veils at Mass, she not only honors the traditions of her faith, but also humbly acknowledges the presence of the Divine, surrendering her own glory to reflect the glory of God.
