Preparing an Investiture
Today we begin our novena in honor of our Mother St. Clare whose feast we will celebrate next week on August 11. At the same time. we are deep into preparations for the investiture of our Postulant Nayeli who will be clothed in our Holy Habit and receive her religious name next month on September 26. All of our very specific clothing is homemade, so the days before an investiture are a whirlwind of measurements, fittings, and the working of sewing machines and the plying of needle and thread. There are also rehearsals and planning of celebrations. To give you all a sneak preview, I would direct your attention to a video we posted in 2012 when we celebrated the 800th anniversary of our Mother St. Clare’s own investiture by clothing our then Postulant Joselyn as Sister Mary Angelique. Here is the link to that video: May our Mother St. Clare intercede for you before the throne of God and obtain for you every grace and blessing!
