In recent years, I have felt a calling in my heart. It is a calling from deep inside. I don't really know how to explain it but I know it is God calling me to deepen my faith. I have spent a couple years reading the scripture and scouring the internet regarding veiling during the mass. Yet here I stand, (ok sit I am typing after all), still building my confidence. See I am not the most devout Catholic on Earth or even close to being a saint and I don't want to stand out in mass as that one lady who is overzealous but every time I see a photograph of a veiled woman at mass, my heart sings out. It begs to join them in their service. So how do I say no to that?

How do I walk away from that feeling? See for me, I find it easier to pray to at home with a veil. It helps me find my peace and focus on my task. It reminds of the Virgin Mary and helps me feel closer to her. So sure I will be the lone wolf in church and sure some people will judge me as my kids giggle and laugh through the mass. As my youngest runs to the altar yet again in hopes of seeing Father John. Yet, I have made the deal with myself and God that I am going to bring my veil to mass this coming Lent. Without exception, this will be our time to connect.

Below I have linked a few articles and videos that I have found especially helpful along the way. Hopefully, they help you find your way too.
