Roseoftherese Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Was wondering, does anyone have a picture of them or know what they'll look like? Thanks :-)
Totus Tuus Posted May 20, 2008 Posted May 20, 2008 Carmelite and traditional style, from what I hear.

Thanks :-)[/quote] I don't know if they'll have a cloak (cappa) or not, but take a picture of St. Therese, and make everything blue except the whitework around the face. I have a pic of a suppressed community in France that looks a lot like what they're going to wear. If you wish, I can email it to you. I don't know how to post pix here on PM. Blessings, Gemma

Nunsense Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) Actually, it will look more like the photo of St Teresa of Avila in this statue. The fabric for the habit is a blue lightweight wool, and the toque (wimple) is a stretch cotton white. Yes, there will be a mantle - it will be the same color and material as the habit - not the cream color that Carmelites wear. The veil will be white for Novices and the same blue material as the habit for Professed sisters (not black). I have asked her if she will pose for a photo when it is done - and then post it on the website - we will see if I can talk her into it.

Gemma Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Yep, that first one was the one I had in mind. Similar name--how'd you come by it? Blessings, Gemma

Blessings, Gemma[/quote] from the Nuns Pictures Thread from EJames (page 7-8) He wasn't certain it was the Marian Sisters, but said their habit looked exactly like that. here's the [url="http://home.catholicweb.com/franciscandaughtersofmary/index.cfm"]Franciscan Daughters of Mary[/url] in KY, whose habit has a scapular like the Carmelites too [center][img]http://home.catholicweb.com/franciscandaughtersofmary/images//Sisters___Dogs.jpg[/img][/center] Edited May 23, 2008 by Margaret Clare
EJames2 Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) This is the picture i was looking for, i knew it was around here somewhere... what is interesting regarding Rosalind Moss' new Community is that the Sisters in this picture are called the 'Marian Sisters of [b]Israel'[/b] they also had white capes which i only saw them wear if they came to Mass at St Jodard. ( i understand their are a few still together resurfacing/renewing at Mars, not the planet silly, the town in France..)) PAX Dieu vous bénis.

lanpingpug Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I think this is the picture you mean of the Marian Sisters of Israel and St. John from France (picture from Nuns Picture Thread from EJames) What happened to these sisters?
ChristinaTherese Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 Looking at the website link given above (not with a blue habit like described above, though), you can basically follow the history of the community through the newsletters here: http://motherofisraelshope.org/newsletters/ It looks like it consists of Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God (formerly Rosalind Moss) and four postulants (five entered, but I guess one of them left) at the moment. And they're in France for fourteen months of formation at a Benedictine (I think) monastery there until next November.
