Notre Dame
This fire brings me to tears. What a loss! It's pure coincidence, but I've been praying the rosary in French lately. Le français est mon dada (mon passe-temps--French is my hobby). Let's pray for the rebuilding of Notre Dame, of the Catholic faith, and for the people of Paris if you can.

Megan's Veil
7 Details You Probably Haven’t Heard About Duchess Meghan’s Givenchy Wedding Dress and Veil

RED: my comments.
What did you think about Megan's veil? Personally, I loved it. I loved her dress and thought she looked beautiful. 5. The Story Behind That Veil: Perhaps one of the most breathtaking elements of the day was the 16-foot veil Meghan paired with her Queen Mary bandeau tiara. Made of a delicate silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers in silk threads and organza representing the 53 countries of the Commonwealth, the dramatic piece took some 500 hours to make. Workers, including a former Royal School of Needlework student, were forced to wash their hands every 30 minutes in order to keep the tulle and threads clean. Does anyone know where we can get a close-up of the embroidery?
6. The Secret Personal Touch: in addition to the 53 flora and fauna representing the Commonwealth, Markle also asked that two very personal touches be added to the headpiece. Waight Keller and her team included a Wintersweet, which grows on the grounds of Kensington Palace in front of Nottingham Cottage where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex reside, and a California Poppy, the official flower of Meg’s home state, on the veil as a nod to the bride’s heritage Goodness, what a clever idea that was. I wonder where the idea came from, or what her inspiration was for that?
Young people are returning to traditional faith practices
Young people are returning to traditional faith practices
[Red: my comments.]
Emma White is the only one in the church with her hair covered. She said it was intimidating to don her chapel veil at first, especially at her home parish in London, Ont. Sometimes, people would stare, wondering why she would choose to cover her hair when it’s not required. [Kudos to all the ladies that don't give into this fear, I know there are lots of you who have sent me messages and are out there. May God bless you for your devotion to the Blessed Sacrament.]
White is part of a growing number of young people in the Church who are embracing traditional practices. Despite the popular idea that young people have no attention span, there seems to be a deep desire to encounter God in tradition and silence. More millennials are returning to older prayers and devotions.
White was inspired by some of her classmates who chose to wear a veil in the presence of the Eucharist and she decided that it would increase her devotion to Christ.
“I am a daughter of the King, and I should adorn myself with a veil to live that out more fully,” she said.
Prior to the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s, women were expected to cover their head in Mass, [And no one need take those beautiful traditions away!] but the 1983 Code of Canon Law has no such requirement, so the practice is not as common now.
White’s veil is a Spanish mantilla, a delicate work of lace that covers most of the hair. Unmarried women traditionally wear a white one, so her veil is ivory. It’s a less bright shade that is beautiful without being too eye-catching, according to White. [More on my thoughts regarding that here.]
Sr. April Cabaccang, 29, is a Salesian Sister whose order offers her a choice of whether to wear a habit. Although some sisters don’t wear the habit, Cabaccang said she chooses to wear hers because it helps her to be a witness for her faith.
When people stop her on the bus or in a store to ask about it, she has the perfect opportunity to talk to them about Christ.
“It is important for young people to embrace tradition,” she said. “They need to know that there is one Truth, One Good worth sticking to.”
Cabaccang believes tradition can be a way for people to anchor themselves. Like White, she says the habit reminds her who she is as well as whose she is. It puts her in a space of reverence. [I do find that to be true for me as well, I put the veil on and it's all about the Mass or Adoration. I put the veil on and it's because I am coming into the Real Presence of Christ.]

LYON, France, December 7, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — For the fourth time in recent months, a group of youth singing the rosary interrupted an ecumenical service at a Catholic church.
Young Catholics gathered last Friday as faithful witnesses to pray at St. Irénée Church in Lyon duirng an interfaith service attended by the local Archbishop, Cardinal Philippe Barbarin.
A video capturing a brief portion of the incident shows the young men kneeling and singing as armed policemen assemble to remove them from the church.
The ecumenical service was the conclusion of commemorations of the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, La Croix reported.
The Catholic Youth Movement of France and France Jeunesse Civitas conducted the disruption to “publicly repair this offense to God and his Church.”
“Catholic activists could not let this scandal go unpunished,” a translated post on the Civitas website said. “So we gathered in this church to denounce this sacrilegious meeting and pray to the rosary saint.”
