Our thanks once again to Fr Jeffrey Keyes and the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa at the Regina Pacis Convent in Santa Rosa, California, where Fr Keyes serves as chaplain, for these photos of the clever designs which the sister sacristans make with the amice ties when laying out the vestments for Mass.
For St Clare, a monstrance, in reference to the miracle by which she defended Assisi from a Saracen attack by bringing the Blessed Sacrament to the place where they were scaling the city walls. As she raised It on high, the soldiers fell off the ladder and away from the wall as if dazzled.
During a retreat for the sisters at a local Carmelite monastery, OCD for “Ordo Carmelitarum Discalceatorum.”
