Lilies of the Field

Although the Saviour ordered His elect to love their Father in heaven with their whole heart, soul, strength and mind, it appears that a codicil was later added whereby certain people could desist from these obligations without shedding the uniform. This has resulted in an unfortunate case whereby a French woman who applied for a place at a retirement home and did not wish to abide by the dress code was forced to seek accommodation elsewhere, even though her mode of dress did not inconvenience the local priest. The nun's habit, which was against the rules of the state-run care home, is "not a sign of submission but of devotion" to a Father and Son who regard His (Their?) brides as property; and of course the Saviour famously exhorted His elect to consider raiment before all else.
