HollyDolly Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Thanks for the great photos.I'll have to look up the Sisters of the Home of the Mother on Google. I know there is an order in England called the Sisters of the Holy House of Loretto.They were founded in Italy and have convents in other places in Europe,but no convents here. Maybe those are the nuns you call Sisters of the Home of the Mother.
brendan1104 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Actually I don't think they're Carmelites, though their habit does look VERY similar. And I didn't know there was a... little person in the Sisters of Life?

Oh, wait til she finds out that she's on the web! Sr. Cornelia is from Germany. We are blessed to have her here in Cincinnati (a fine German city!).

hoosieranna Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Daughters of Mary are a "traditional" congregation. Vocations can't be part of the Novus Ordo church. They're affiliated with the Society of St. Pius V, though I don't know exactly what the Society's stance is.
Totus Tuus Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Yup, the Daughters of Mary are not in union with Holy Mother Church.

I met them in February at the Here I Am Lord Conference in St. Charles. They invited me to come visit sometime. They are not far from where I go to school. Also, sorry if I confused anyone with the Polish... But when I was with them at the conference, they had found some Sisters from Slovakia and a Polish priest, so a large portion of my time I sat in awe of their jovial-ness and love and joy as I could not understand what they were saying to each other! It was amazing. Amazing, amazing Sisters. One of the Sisters shared her vocation story in a small group that weekend and it was so simple and so beautiful. I will try to visit them sometime soon to say hello and perhaps catch up a little.

The place is indeed fantastic: VA and I stayed there for a few days last Summer and had a whale of a time. The church is very beautiful, designed by Pugin. However, they're not going to be there for much longer; the community will soon move to South Yorkshire and the monastery buildings will probably be turned into a hotel and spa. PP

I remember them saying they were in St. Jerome , that their order was a new one, that their founder was a Dominican, and that they had been in St. Jerome for (about 10 yrs, can't remember the exact number they gave). Their habits were pale grey and they wore white wimples. In fact, they looked like the sisters in this pictures: [img]http://www.hotlinkfiles.com/files/53569_siu6e/Apostolic%20Sistersof%20St%20John%20France.jpg[/img] and not like the ones in this picture [img]http://www.stjean.com/france/france/images/photos_souvigny_04/veillee007.jpg[/img] ________________________________________________________________________________________ However, thanks to the French wikipedia and this line in it: "Les sœurs contemplatives portent en plus un voile blanc et les sœurs apostoliques un voile gris", I can agree that they were the contemplative sisters. When I read that line I remembered noticing their white veils because they're sewn in back. Um, that wasn't a good description... let's see... to help the veil sit properly, there's a vertical seam down the part of the veil that doesn't sit on top of the head, that runs down the back of the head and neck. It's a little like the seams that are sewn to tailor a bust. It probably helps keep the veil neatly on her back as opposed to floating around everywhere, and on her head because it now has some of the advantages of a hood. The middle picture here can give you some idea.

Emile-James[/quote] As I understand it, a nun is a religious sister that takes Solemn Vows and is enclosed, while a religious sister takes simple/perpetual vows and is not formally a nun, though generally speaking, she can be called nun, as we in the US interchange the two a lot. It does confuse me though, because once when I was telling someone about the Sisters of Bethlehem they were saying to me, why don't you just become a nun. She kept asking me, but do they take Solemn Vows? Well, I guess not - they take Final Vows. But is it that big of a difference in the eyes of God? As I understand it, Solemn Vows are something only nuns in an established Order (with a capitol "O") can take. But an order like the Sisters of Bethlehem does not have that status, so they take Final Vows. They are a Religious Institute of Pontifical Right though. I asked a sister at Livingston Manor about it, and she said it's the same thing - Solemn Vows / Final Vows. I also asked a great priest once, and he was saying he thinks it's more of a canonical thing. I think what matters in this is what the vows mean before God, and not man. And now some pictures from Les Voirons. I love this sister! I met her when I was on retreat there!

[img]http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/6445/2601/1600/HPIM4365%20(Medium).3.jpg[/img][/quote] Actually the difference between Solemn Vows and perpetual vows is more than canonical. According to the new code of canon law there is no difference unless stipulated in the constitutions. I recently learned that the OMI's make solemn vows. Solemn Profession is more than just about poverty, ie. one don't only can't acquire goods one doesn't own anything, whereas with perpetual vows one actually continues to own but doesn't have the right to adminster one's goods. According to natural law every person has the right to own goods. We give up this natural right by Solemn Profession. With Solemn profession if one would run off and get married it would be invalid whereas with perpetual vows it's illicit. OK. That sounds very dry and dull but it has deeper practical implications. Only the Pope can dispense NOT from the vow in solemn profession but from the obligations. Solemn Profession is a total holocaust between the person and God and even the Pope can't undo this. What one is saying with Solemn Profession is that one completely hands oneself over to God. Yes, essentially it's what matters is before God but we are creatures of body and soul and don't live in the mind although the modern world things so. So, we express this total self gift, total holocaust in a physical, created way. Let's face it; "that's mine" is something that seems to be ingrained in us from the day we were born! By Solemn Profession GOD consecrates and we in a new way we become His! The "stuff" of ownership and non-ownership is the expression of saying to God, "I belong to you; you must take care of me." Our profession is an ecclesial act. It's accept and ratified by the Church, it's not just a thing between me and God. It's really too bad the the new Code didn't continue this distinction because there is a difference. It doesn't make a person in solemn vows better than someone in perpetual vows but it's a real distinction. It's ABSOLUTELY a gift of God. We tend to use "moniales" to talk about the OP nuns as Sisters means the apostolic congregations. And yes, it's confusing because we call ourselves Sisters. The first nuns of Prouilhe were called "ladies". Hmmm. I don't think that would go today! We were also called the Sister Preacheresses. Lauren the European monasteries tend to be more broad about enclosure. Many don't have material separation and many have guest houses, hostels which means more interaction with the public. Many will have the public join them for the Liturgy. Their Offices also tend to have more musical instruments like zithers. Many of them have an industry like cookie making. And a lot of them wear those ugly kerchief style veils! They always fall off!
Chiquitunga Posted June 8, 2007 Posted June 8, 2007 Hey, thanks for the reply Sr. Mary Catharine. That's very informative. I guess my only question remains, I know that if the Sisters of Bethlehem could have Solemn Vows, they would. They live the wholly contemplative life and completely abandon themselves to God in this same way. But the reason their vows aren't solemn is because they're a Religious Institute and not an Order. I would want to completely give my life over to God in Solemn Vows, and I'm sure all the Sisters of Bethlehem would feel the same way too, like the Carmelites or Poor Clares or Dominican Nuns. They definitely live the monastic life to the full, without compromise. I do wish the Church could grant religious institutes such as them the privilge of Solemn Vows. But for some reasons it's only for the nuns in Orders.

Sr. MC's response was very informative though! Thank you!![/quote] I just had a correspondence with a priest who said that according to the 83 Code there IS NO distinction between Final/perpetual and Solemn and that one could have the act of renounciation that we have with Solemn Vows with Simple vows if the it's in the Constitutions of the institute. However, I was not taught it quite this way but he may be right. Believe it or not, now I'M confused! Will do a little more research and get some advice and let you know. Again, dont' mean to highjack. I'll do a separate thread. God bless! SMC

He married a minimalist.
