Do Franciscans use flabella?

hot here too

Pay my ticket and i will be there with ice buckets!

I know two people!

gym shorts and a battery fan under the habit will help.

Father get a cooling neckband, they are readily available. They contain water-retaining beads which expand.

Just soak it in cool water for a few minutes and you are good to go.

it looks like this

that would look very interesting with a habit

well Father would pick a discrete color I am sure

unfortunately it doesn't seem to come in all black

that example is just to show what you might look for. They come in many plain colors as well. They are helpful, otherwise you do penance.

ohhh Inge is one tough taskmaster

I like the iPadre's idea. shorts

taquoriaan: a Franciscan can always say perfect joy, but you can never be sure whether he means it or not

oh no, not *perfect joy*

the Franciscans in Florida regularly do the shorts-n-sandals thing

The ones at CUA regurarly do the shorts and t shirt, sans the habit

jjoy:

some shift to an all white habit

you'd look like a Augustinian

or a Norbertine

For shame Fr. S give it up to the Poor Souls

one secret, stay inside where there is air conditioning

the OFM Conv at my parish wear a light grey in slightly lighter fabric. They used to all have a heavy black. The missions used the grey...

... then they approved wider use of the grey in warm climates. As I understand anyway. It is a medium grey I guess...
