Vestments
a. All
servers are reminded to ensure they do not leave any of the vestments entrusted
to them (Cassocks, Capes, Sashes) in the Sacristy for more than 12 continuous
hours. Even if they may be serving
mass later in the day, these vestments should be kept, and not should be left
behind in the sacristy, with exceptions allowed on a case-by-case basis.
b. Cinctures are NOT to be worn at hip level (where the hip bone is)
or lower but
always at the
waist, where the position of the umbilicus (also known as the navel or belly
button) can be used as a gauge because
i. The proper location for a
cincture is at the tummy area as one is supposed to feel oneself being restrained (girded) which symbolizes
1. Being tied to God
2. Obedience and submission
to God
3. Readiness to do battle
against sin
ii. The cassock also tends to be pushed up
and crumple when
the cincture is worn low at the hip.
iii. The vesting prayers related to this is as
follows: "Gird me O Lord and make me pure, quench in my heart the fire of desire,
that the virtue of obedience and chastity may abide in me"
