beatitude Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Blessed Charles de Foucauld! As soon as I saw the emblem I broke out smiling - I love it when he pops up in my life. NonNovi, do you have any more info on this community - whether they are contemplative, apostolic, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NonNovi Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 [quote name='beatitude' timestamp='1340152684' post='2446492'] Blessed Charles de Foucauld! As soon as I saw the emblem I broke out smiling - I love it when he pops up in my life. NonNovi, do you have any more info on this community - whether they are contemplative, apostolic, etc? [/quote] They have a monastery in Draguignan (Southern France), diocese Fréjus-Toulon (msgr. Rey, very good bishop!). The sisters live together, pray the Divine Office together (in Latin) but are not contemplative. This creates some freedom for apostolic activities outside the monastery. They often work with groups of children and young people, accompany pilgrimages and organise retraits, all of this in the spirituality of Charles de Foucauld.

maximillion Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 It's very hard to believe they are nuns......they do look like Galadriel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 The Spiritual Family, The Work. Yes, that's the real name. They wear this garb only for religious functions. In the apostolate, they wear civies. I'm wanting to say they're akin to a secular institute, and were founded by a laywoman. Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
