Roseoftherese Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 Does anyone know when it will be up? The homepage has said 'coming soon' for a while now.
stlmom Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 They are still in the process of moving in to their home here in St. Louis, and also have to contend with the upcoming departure of Archbishop Burke, who promised his personal support. So----I'd give them a little more time to set up the website.
Nunsense Posted July 2, 2008 Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) The newsletter is in the process of being written right now so hopefully the website won't be too far behind. As stlmom said, we have only been in town for a week so it will take awhile to get things rolling. Patience is a virtue (that I don't really have ) and I always ask God to hurry up and give me some -- but please do be patient! In the meantime, if you do have any enquiries, please feel free to email me [email=anniemac@calequus.com]anniemac@calequus.com[/email] Edited July 2, 2008 by nunsense

This is so exciting. I have such a great hope for The Daughters of Mary Mother of Israel's Hope. Have you ever seen the two art prints that list the Hebrew Names/Titles for God and the Names of Jesus? They are so beautiful and I was thinking they would be PERFECT to have in the convent. The posters themselves are around $20.00....if you get them framed by the company the price goes up to around $150 or so each which I think is expenseive...you could frame them nicely for less. If you'd like to know the url of a website that has them, PM me and I'll give it to you. I'm sure there are many needs but if someone is looking to give a "smaller" type gift and you like the looks of the posters you could suggest they give framed prints to the convent - I think they would be marvelously inspirational. Prayers are with you. Any pictures of your marvelous habit just yet? May the Holy Spirit continue to guide you each step of the way. Peace.

Peace.[/quote] The habit is in the hands of two absolutely wonderful seamstresses here in St Louis and they have been letting us try one on while we determine what changes need to be made each time. The final design is not yet completed, but part of the reason for that is finding the right fabric material in the right color. Some fabrics are too hot, some wrinkle too much and others don't have the right color or don't wash well. It is a very fun time and we are all praying to Our Lady to help us - so please add your prayers to ours! It is wonderful that so many people do want to contribute to the community is some way, and the idea of prints is a very good one. We have had people offer statues and pictures and there have been many other wonderful gift ideas from people. Of course, we are very grateful for the love and support of everyone. The greatest gift of all is your prayers of course, and we thank God for blessing the community with so many supporters and benefactors. Blessed be God forever.
shortnun Posted July 5, 2008 Posted July 5, 2008 We're glad you're here. Many prayers. Will you all remain in St. Louis with the departure of Arch. Burke?

Depending on whether or not it is possible, Bishop Herman may celebrate the consecration Mass for us (along with other priests concelebrating). We are all praying that we can go ahead as scheduled, but as in all things, may the Lord's Will be done!

Beatus Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 I have heard it said that this Order will accept women from all ages. I hope the Foundress will only accept women who have lived chastely and in accordance with Holy Mother Church. For more information on what this means, see the thread about Consecrated Virgins. I will pray for all in discernment. Beatus

Regarding being a virgin and entering religious life, many great saints were married before they entered, like St. Rita of Casia, St. Bridget of Sweden, Bl. Marie of the Incarnation, OCD and many many others. It is not necessarily a requirement to be a virgin to enter religious life or the priesthood. It [i]is[/i] a requirement to be a virgin to receive the Rite of Consecrated Virginity, yes, but not necessarily for religious life or the priesthood. Edited July 19, 2008 by Margaret Clare

Blessed be God forever.[/quote] Nunsense, if I may make a suggestion.. You might review the habits or orders that you like--the style, the color, the design, and consult those orders re fabric, styling and maintenance. For ex, Regina Laudis (Bethlehem, CT) have wimples and head coverings that always seem to look neat and pressed and unstarched. They have an 'unstructured' headdress which always looks right. I don't know how they do it, but if I were designing a habit, I'd want to consult them. Same for the Nashville Cecilian OP's who had a French designer advise them about their habit--to keep it long--and whose habit is the standard against which many other habits are compared. There are a number of European habits I've seen that also are simple and unconstructed but appear to look neat and in place (and are flattering-!-which a nice habit often is, ie Therese of the Child Jesus) , but these orders would be a lot harder to contact--and many are non-English speaking.
DameAgnes Posted July 20, 2008 Posted July 20, 2008 (edited) Beatus, get your hands on a copy of Rumer Godden's book, "Five for Sorrow, Ten for Joy" (you can get it used on Amazon) - read about a WHOLE ORDER of nuns made up of women who are/were what used to be called "wayward" women" - some were even former prostitutes - the Sisters of Bethany. Virginity is certainly a wonderful gift to make to the Lord. Be he loves the non-virgins, too. And he calls them and accepts their offerings. Think of the gospel parable about the workers in the field. Some were hired early and worked all day, some were hired (called) very late in the day, but all received the same wages at the end of the day. The workers who worked all day say, "hey, wait - we worked all day, how come they get the same as us?" And the Lord said, "because I choose to pay them the same." There is a lot more to religious life than virginity. Edited July 20, 2008 by DameAgnes

Nunsense Posted August 4, 2008 Posted August 4, 2008 Praise+Jesus I have been on retreat for the past two weeks so haven't been able to get online. For very personal reasons, I am no longer with Rosalind's community, although I pray for them every day and ask God to bless them with vocations and benefactors. I am now starting a three month live-in as a hermit, which is what I actually intended to do when I left Carmel in March. I feel very blessed and honored to have been with Rosalind at the beginning of her apostolate, as she is a charismatic and inspired leader who sincerely wants to serve God as an evangelist. I know that God is calling me along a different path however - the way of desert spirituality. I feel a great peace at my choice and have had Rosalind's full support in making this decision. Please email Rosalind directly using rosalindmoss@gmail.com for any enquiries about her community. I will not have phone, email or online access during my three month live-in but feel free to send me your prayers via your guardian angels! May God's peace be upon you all in the heart of our blessed Savior, Jesus.
