"Meerkat Army" has a good point: It's like being naked... Our bodies are sacred and our garments are as ancient and eternally meaningful as our bodies. As we become more aware of God in our everyday life, our needs to be comfortable at all times and in all ways lessens and we begin to know what it is like to carry our cross. I woud prefer to be naked all day if I am alone. That is the most comfortable for me. But lounging in garments seems like going to the local chapel to sit and watch TV. When I know that others see them, I know they see something very special in a common context. Me, alone, when I was a bachelor, with no air conditioning, it seemed better to just be in them than to be naked. I can't recieve The Holy Spirit in it's fullness of help and protection when purposely taking them off for a long period of time.
