Like me to know your opinions on this page, in two years of existence they have obtained vocations and several girls that never thought about being sisters or nuns are in discerniment in this or other congregations, depending on the restlessness of each one.
I believe that also they have received consultations of boys about the priesthood.

Ruso,

That is a very interesting web site. Very direct, very sincere. It says very little though about the Dominican Sisters of the Presentation.

I like this,

    *      It is not the way of conformists or of those who are satisfied with the way of the world; but the way of rebels and revolted ones who aspire to make it better.
    *      It is not the way of those who haggle and measure their obligations toward God and their neighbor; but the way of those who freely follow Jesus Christ.
    *      It is not the way of the selfish that take care of themselves; but the way of the generous who think of the poor on the earth.
    *      It is not the way of those who want to please God; but the way of those who respond with joy to the proposal God makes to them.
    *      It is not the way of those who are disillusioned, bored or sad; but it is the way of those who feel the fire of the Gospel.
    *      It is not the way of those who trust in their own strength; but the way of those who abandon themselves and who count constantly on God.


Some of the English translation could be improved though. I'm not sure this page is presenting the message they want to present. At least I hope it's not.

ME A RELIGIOUS? WHAT A JOKE!

You like men, dancing and money?

You easily fall in love?

Of all the options of life, all young people should besides seriously choose between these two options: Be a prostitute or a religious?

Give your body for money. Prostitute oneself. Live effortlessly and easy-going. You think I’m exaggerating? Just think that many live this way even if it’s in a hypocritical way.

All those who work uniquely and exclusively for money, succeed regardless the price, to have power at all cost.

Many who in their professions see only one way or other to become rich, or have only one motivation: to have a salary that they did not deserve.

If you have decided not to be a prostitute, real or fake, think about finding and developing a real vocation, what pleases you the most, for what are your really made? For love: of people or of God which is the same. Difficult life, annoying: like all lives lived at the service of an ideal.

If you are a woman and not a puppet, you have the moral obligation to ask yourself if you want to follow your most beautiful ideal: to announce Peace and Love to all peoples; because we are all equal and brothers and sisters; the best way possible: through all your actions and all your life.

And if you decide…

That this is not your vocation, do not forget that no matter the way that you take, it must be sown with peace and good. (P.C.)

Drunk? Party Animal? Fickle?

Good. Maybe you will be the perfect religious.

Do you know this world and life? You could very well help the men and women of this world. And you will not be the first: St. Mary Magdalena, without going to far, was also a vagabond like you.

Think well. Think about being a religious. More than courage, you need love. (P.C.)

You could become a Dominican Sister of the Presentation.

I agree it's a very *interesting* website. Does anyone else know why the banner running across the bottom of their home page says: "The content of this website can be harmful to your spiritual health." ??? idontknow.gif

I saw it too. . .I too found it. . . . interesting. OLAM Dad, I saw that page as well and I blink.gif It didn't come across too well, at least to me.

Shortnun, I think the banner was meant to be facetious. When I first linked to it, and saw the banner I thought, okkkkkkk, perhaps this is a 'mock' website idontknow.gif

Different humor, I suppose.
