My children, you must join hands in reverence at the Sacrifice of  My Son. It is an expression of love, gratitude, and respect . Reverence and respect and holiness must be returned to My Son’s houses, churches throughout  the world-reverence, holiness, and respect from the beginning to the end of the Sacred Service. “Women must keep their heads covered, My child. It is not because of fashion or modes; it is because the Eternal Father and the angels demand proper deportment during the Holy Sacrifice. It offends the heart of  My Son much to see that satan has taken away so much piety and holiness in His churches throughout the world.”

Our Lady of the Roses, September 6, 1975

Sacred Scripture presents several reasons for wearing the veil. St. Paul tells us in his first letter to the Corinthians (11:1-16) that women must cover their heads because it is a Sacred Tradition commanded by Our Lord Himself and entrusted to Paul: ” The things I am writing to you are the Lord’s commandments ” (1 Cor. 14:37)

It is an honor to wear the veil. But by publicly repudiating it, a woman dishonors her feminine dignity, her sign of female subjection. The Roman Pontificial contains the imposing ceremonial of the consecration of the veils: “Receive the sacred veil, that thou mayst be known to have despised the world, and to be truly, humbly, and with all thy heart subject to Christ as His bride; and may he defend thee from all evil, and bring thee to life eternal.” (Pontificale Romanun, de benedictione)

St. Paul says an unveiled woman is a dishonor. ” But every woman praying and prophesying with her head uncovered disgraces her head, for it is the same as if she were shaven.” (1Cor:11:5)

“That is why women ought to have a veil  on her head, because of the angels.” wrote St. Paul (1 Cor. 11:10). The invicible hierarchy should be respected because the angels are present at Christian liturgical assemblies, offering with us the Holy Sacrifice with the honor due to Almighty God.

St. John the Apostle wrote :“And another angel came and stood before the altar, having a golden censer; amd there was given to him much incense that he might offer it with the prayers of all before the throne.” (Rev. 8:3)

The custom of wearing the veil was maintained in the primitive churches of God (1 Cor. 11:16). We see this in the first letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians. The women of Corinth, beset by modern sensibilities, started coming to church without their heads covered. When St. Paul heard of their neglect, he wrote and urged them to keep the veil. According to St. Jeromes commentary Bible, he finally settled the matter by saying head covering was a custom of the primitive communities of Judea, “the churches of God” (1 Thess. 2:15, 3:6).

Even today, some people erroneously believe  that St. Paul based the tradition on his personal opinion. St. Paul reminds them, “for I did not receive it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it by revelation of Jesus Christ” (Gal. 1:12), referring to the authority of his ministry, and veracity of his words Our Lord warns us to obey his commandments. “He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven” (Matt. 5:19).

In summary, St. Paul advises women to cover their heads in church because : Our Lord commanded it, the angels at mass are offended if women don’t use it, it is a ceremonial vestment and lastly, it is our heritage.
