3.     Vestments
a.     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"
