Why I wear veil/headcovering during mass




I was recently exposed to this. 
Wearing a veil or a head covering to cover your head, during mass. 

For the first few weeks, I felt uneasy wearing it because I was afraid people would look at me and judge me saying i was trying to show off. 
But my heart kept saying,
 "you are glorifying God, you should do everything that will glorify Him".. Every time when I wear my veil, I would have such struggle. 

 One day, I went to Sacred Heart Cathedral, i was in a dilemma to wear my veil or not because i saw there were only two people wearing it.
 In my hometown, more women answered the call to wear veils to mass. 

And I decided to just wear it. I prayed 

"Lord, I am not sure if this really makes you happy or not. If it does not, tell me so that i will stop . And if it does , tell me also so that I will continue wearing this." 

(I wore my veil after the First Reading) . 
And then, before the song 'Lamb of God' , a warden, an old man came to me. 

He said "Continue wearing your scarf, I like to see".

 I was speechless  listening to that. i could only smile. Wow. 

 After the communion, he came to me again and said
 "tell you friends to wear scarf. I like to see. You see there are only a few wearing it.5 including you".  
Still the same response, i could only smile.
 Before the final blessing, he came to me again and said "God bless you" .

Wearing veils to mass is not compulsory but adhere to my sole intention to wear a veil, that is to glorify and console His Sacred Heart, which is overburdened with hurt, I will do this.
