Is this a good habit to get into? Everybody seems to be getting into the habit, so I thought I would too. A toast to the power of the habit! “Bad habits are like a comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of.” "Habit is stronger than reason." George Santayana “First we make our habits, then our habits make us.” Charles C. Noble “Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as are bad habits.” Robert Puller “Quality is not an act, it is a habit.” Aristotle “Cultivate only the habits that you are willing should master you.” Elbert Hubbard “Habit converts luxurious enjoyments into dull and daily necessities.” Aldous Huxley “Each year one vicious habit rooted out, in time might make the worst man good throughout.” Benjamin Franklin (Hmmm, thinking Yendor here  )“Habits are cobwebs at first; cables at last.” Chinese Proverb  Blessings, Merry Only the soul that knows the mighty grief can know the mighty rapture. Sorrows come to stretch out spaces in the heart for joy. ~Edwin Markham~ |

There is no power in the habit, dear. The habit is worn to keep men from lusting for us nuns. Nuns have been around for a couple thousand years, and back then there was absolutely nothing unusual about their dress at all. If you stop to think about it, even 100 years ago, this manner of dress would not have been too terribly different from mainstream society. It used to be common place for women to practice modesty and decency - especially out in public. Nowadays, modesty is incredibly odd. It's important to understand the role of a nun. She takes vows - much like a marriage vow - to serve God, the Church, and the sinner. The last thing a nun would want to do is to dress in such a way as to encourage a man to lust. She may be beautiful, she may be incredibly well built; however, her desire (unlike many women) is to enkindled the goodness of man - NOT to enkindle the sexual desires of men like Yendor. While there is not a specific divine commandment in the bible that states "Nuns shalt not wear halter tops", there are plenty of divine commandments concerning proper dress, proper action, and proper speech. Many of us these days find propiety to be quite strange...sadly. Jesus- Matthew 17:17
