Veiling is a long standing Catholic tradition that originates from St. Paul who stated that women should cover their heads in church and in the presence of the Lord. St. Paul was referring to the sanctity of women. All of the most sacred things in the Catholic church and liturgy are veiled. If our Lord is present, the tabernacle is veiled. The Chalice before and after Mass is veiled. The altar itself is usually veiled; all things sacred in the house of God are veiled because those things are reserved for God. God has bestowed the sanctity of life-giving power upon women. A veil is NOT worn as an act of subservience or shame for feminine beauty. Women who have a calling to veil are surrendering to God’s Divine and Holy Will to motherhood, modesty, and humility in direct obedience to God’s sacred plan for women.

1 Corinthians 11

"Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you. But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered, disgraceth his head. But every woman praying or prophesying with her head not covered, disgraceth her head: for it is all one as if she were shaven.

 For if a woman be not covered, let her be shorn. But if it be a shame to a woman to be shorn or made bald, let her cover her head. The man indeed ought not to cover his head, because he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of the man. For the man is not of the woman, but the woman of the man. For the man was not created for the woman, but the woman for the man. Therefore ought the woman to have a power over her head, because of the angels.

But yet neither is the man without the woman, nor the woman without the man, in the Lord. For as the woman is of the man, so also is the man by the woman: but all things of God. You yourselves judge: doth it become a woman, to pray unto God uncovered? Doth not even nature itself teach you, that a man indeed, if he nourish his hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman nourish her hair, it is a glory to her; for her hair is given to her for a covering."
