The Parts of the habit

Breif explanation of Each in order of putting it on.

1. Tunic

Clothe me, O Lord, with the garments of salvation.
By your grace may I keep them pure and spotless,
so that clothed in white,
I may be worthy to walk with you in the kingdom of God.
Amen.

2. Cincture

Gird me, O Lord, with the cincture of justice and the cord of purity
that I may unite the many affections of my heart in the love of you alone.
Amen.

3. Rosary Beads

O God, whose only-begotten Son,
by his life, death, and resurrection,
has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life,
grant, we beseech Thee,
that meditating upon the mysteries of the
Most Holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary,
we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise,
through the same Christ our Lord.
Amen.

4. Scapular


Show yourself a mother,
He will hear your pleading
Whom your womb has sheltered
And whose hand brings healing.

5. white capuce

Lord,
You have set your sign upon my head
that I should admit no lover but you.
Amen.

6. Cappa

We fly to your patronage, O Holy Mother of God,
do not despise our prayers in our necessity,
but free us from all peril, O Blessed Virgin.
Amen.

7. Black Capuce

Heavenly Father,
Who were with your great servants Moses and Joshua
and used them to bring your children out of bondage,
fill us with that same grace
that we may preach your word boldly and with authority
for the deliverance of those under the bondages of sin.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
