Thank you for this interesting video, father. I'd like to suggest that images and/or illustrations of the various items and persons being discussed would have greatly contributed to this video and made full use of the format.
I just love these episodes with Fr. Little. Fascinating 🤗 God bless you, Father!
It’s funny how they animate “I’m feeling lucky” in latin at 0:26 even though the feature has been gone for years
You sure? The feature was there today
Now this seems like the sort of thing there is an obscure forgotten scholarly work on covering the history of habits of every kind collecting dust in some library somewhere.
One interesting bit of trivia: the reason the pope wears white cassock and accessories is because of Pope Pius V in the 16th century. Pius V was a Dominican and an inquisitor and when elected to the papal throne he retained the white habit of the Dominicans. Prior to that most popes wore red, like the cardinals.
This is the kind of video that would be enhanced greatly by pictures of each item and pictures of the whole habit with each modification. It would be nice if similar videos would include images in the future. But it was still a good video, interesting and informative; thank you.
I agree. Excellent feed back. Also when listening only to the audio portion it flows very smoothly. Very natural. However when watching the video I noticed his eye movement either from the teleprompter or cue cards. None the less I enjoyed this video and subject.
#AskAFriar Father, I am starting my Postulancy as a Lay Dominican. I have often heard that one of the practical uses of a Capuce is to help block out distractions during prayer. I suppose a hoodie would accomplish the same thing, but late spring and summer are not good seasons to put on my favorite hoodie jackets. I think it would be kind of cool if you sold lightweight hot weather hoodies and heavier cold weather hoodies with oversized hoods that mimic the habit of the Order. White on the bottom, and black from the mid-upper arm up with the Thomistic Institute logo printed on the right side of the chest.
@Rene Running Bear I'm thinking of this as a two birds one stone idea. 1st Bird: Focus 2nd Bird: Support the Friars' work.
I hope to discern to be a Dominican Cooperator Brother!
They don't exist anymore
@@lmtt123 they are there, although their number is small compared to the past
Thank you Fr Little
Thank you for the video!
I heard from others that not only Saint Dominic was a Canon Regular, but he was part of the Canon Regulars of Prémontré (Norbertines).
Is there any ongoing speculations about that? Thank you!
alright now i don't have to scratch my head so much when a Dominican says the homily.😂😂😂
lThank you and Love it!!
Modern wide sleeves vs traditional tighter sleeves that you see in all the old paintings of OP friars.
I am in discernment to be a part of the Dominican Laity and I had a couple of questions that so far have gone unanswered, which both sort of tie together, and I was hoping maybe someone could help.
All Dominicans wear the scapular, but for the laity I only usually see either the small square or the large square scapulars. Is the full scapular restricted only to the first and second order, or can it be worn by the laity during religious work such as Altar serving?
The second: a lay Dominican has the option to be buried in the full habit. If we were to purchase our burial habits, I understand why it would be improper to wear them outside the home, but is it also improper to wear them in our homes for personal prayer?
#AskAFriar
I know many of us usually only wear our large scapular (for permanent members) while at the priories or during OP events
@@jaw0449 That's the general impression I get but pretty much everytime I ask it's the same "huh, you know, I'm not really sure." Haha.
No one in the group I'm discerning with wears it to the meetings. One or two wear the cross, and one couple say they wear the brown scapular since the white dirties so easily. All understandable but to raise awareness that we exist, especially to the very parish we have our meetings at, you'd think we'd maybe try and be a bit more recognizable.
Again, I'm still awaiting my Rite of Admission so I still don't even have voting rights, but I'm coming up with suggestions and share some that I feel are more important than what is more akin to vanities, but still, the curiosity drives me.
@@lughnacide9778 that's probably b/c there's no official stance...we had a chapter discussion and that's about it and seems to be similar elsewhere
There isn't a worldwide answer because conditions and needs vary between provinces: in some provinces it may be helpful to raise awareness of the presence of Catholics (where there is very restricted religious presence, e.g. because of previous persecutions in former communist countries), in most western countries it's more of an issue of properly distinguishing between religious and laity and not having Lay Dominicans imitating religious life in ways which are not conducive to an authentic lay spirituality. With regards to your specific points, you can wear what you want for private prayer in your own room and there will be no Church documents to restrict this, it is a matter of personal piety the Order and the Church won't get involved. The best thing there would be to discuss it with a spiritual director and get to the bottom of the motivations for wanting to do it. For altar serving, the scapular would not replace the proper clerical clothing in use in that country (alb or surplice), so it wouldn't usually be seen if you did wear it.
@@MsPinson To add to the altar serving-type aspect, I wear my small scapular always, but it is covered up most of the time by relevant clothing/attire
#AskAFriar Can you cover the difference between the Clerical Brother and the Cooperator Brother?
A brother may be called to the priesthood or not. Clerical brothers are priests while cooperator brothers are not priests but still live, study, and participate inside the community. They are also known as lay brothers (different from Dominican Laity or Lay Dominicans like I am working towards).
A cooperator brother is that, a brother, who wears the full habit and cooperates in the Dominican life but has not been called to, or ordained a priest.
@@lughnacide9778 Yes, the Holy Orders part I understand. What are their responsibilities, and how do they differ from those of a priest (Besides sacraments)?
@@CarpeDiem-bu3lz oooh that would be good to know and hear about.
#AskAFriar: What is the sound interpretation of what is described in the passage Daniel 10:12-13, where Gabriel tells Daniel, "...but the prince of the kingdom of Persia stood in my way for twenty-one days, until finally Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me."
Also, was Daniel's prayer being sabotaged by the devil without him knowing it? Can that happen to us too? And how come the Angel Gabriel couldn't handle it and needed Michaels's help?
How did the friars clean their white habits on the road as they were preaching?
Maybe they let them get dirty. I’m not sure. I do know that St Dominic was known to walk barefoot so as to not ruin his sandals, but I am sure that his habit would have gotten dirty or torn. I also know that St Dominic frequently slept on the side of the road as he travelled to preach. I assume that this also would have dirtied his habit.
Thank you Fr Little for this input.
When I look at the pictures I see Lay Dominicans (e.g St Catherine of Siena & others) wearing Dominican habits, why is that nowadays Lay Dominicans ARE NOT to wear the habit ?
The place of third order Dominicans (and tertiaries from other orders too) has evolved over time. Both Lay Dominicans and apostolic sisters grew out of the third order - secular and regular. The apostolic sisters obviously can wear the habit.
The understanding of the role of the laity in the Church has been evolving such that it would be unhelpful, at least in the west, for Lay Dominicans to wear the habit now - our Rule emphasises that our first vocation is as lay people living in the world and that being a Lay Dominican is a particular way of living out our baptismal vocation within that state. The Order is keen to promote an authentically lay spirituality and to distinguish between things proper to religious life and things suitable for all Dominicans, so that Lay Dominicans don't end up being a sort of wannabe religious halfway house but have our own identity and place in the Church. There are places and times when wearing the habit was encouraged, but when the role of tertiaries was quite different.
Does the fabric weight of the habit change to accommodate different climates?
Dominicans. Followers of St. Dominic or Domini Canus as I have heard?
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:00 👕 The Dominican habit has seen minimal changes over centuries, rooted in historical practices.
01:57 📿 The rosary became part of the Dominican habit in 1924, rooted in a longstanding custom dating back to the late 15th century.
02:39 🕊️ The cooperator brothers' habit was modified in 1968 for uniformity with the priests, including the addition of the rosary and changing the scapular's color.
03:21 🌟 Despite minor fabric and cut variations, the basic features of the Dominican habit have remained consistent over time.
04:02 🧢 Differences in hood style between Dominican and Franciscan habits may arise from historical practices and individual order preferences.
05:26 🎩 Franciscan hoods with pointed hoods reflect variations across different branches of the order over time.

Where is to find francescan historian
I dont think so...
I loved unique😊
I doubt Our Lady has a multitude personality disorder as there was an Irish rosary in the 10th Century, Carthusian rosary in the 12th Century and the Franciscan rosary. St Martin was treated terribly by the Dominicans and never wore a habit.
The Mercedarian friars have the similar white tunic, belt like the Augustinians without a rosary, scapular and capuce. They don't use a black cappa and black capuce like the Dominicans.
Because they all follow the Rule of St Augustine
#AskAFriar Why did Dominicans have the ringed haircut, and why did it sometimes (or always?) have a separated patch on front? Was this haircut unique to the Order, or common to all monastic orders? Why don't Dominicans have this haircut anymore?
Also, what is the history of shaving, along with any reasoning behind it? It seems like being clean-shaven is the norm, but St. Dominic is almost always depicted with a beard, and some modern Dominicans have facial hair.
#AskaFriar Does anybody still wear hair shirts? Also, how can you get one, and how are they made?
What are hair shirts?
@@CarpeDiem-bu3lz a shirt some people used to wear to mortify the body. I guess they must have itched really bad.
We are related but Opus Dei sell hair shirts etc
does it really matter what kinda piece of material is someone wearing, cmon,clothes is clothes,uniform thats all..what matters is service
Why wouldn't you want to distinguish a cooperator brother from a priest?
The modern worship of "equality" taints everything nowadays.
In medieval times you couldn't just say you decided to wear something, it had to be a vision of Our Lady. I doubt this ever happened
big questions LITTLE answers with ambrose LITTLE. that's a good one 👌👌🤌🤌
