Question
Why do women need to wear veils?
Answer
Women are not required to wear veils in order to attend the Nuptial Mass. Veiling is completely voluntary, but encouraged. Veiling is not an affirmation of a woman’s state of holiness or a reason to boast of one’s devotion to God. Taking up this devotion derives from a humble and loving heart that desires to give reverence to God. A woman who prayerfully discerns not to veil does not mean she loves God any less or is in a lesser state of holiness. A woman’s decision to veil is a call of personal devotion. The most important reason why a woman takes on a chapel veil, above all, is to give God the greatest glory. In a humbling spirit a woman veils with the intention to give great reverence to Jesus, who is truly present in the Blessed Eucharist. The veil is an outward sign of her heart’s disposition - a submission and total giving of oneself over to God. When a woman is veiled in a Catholic Church, she is not distracted by her surroundings, but she is reminded that she is in a sacred space. The veil helps to redirect her thoughts, intentions, and desires to Jesus.
