Can I Suggest Another New Order Of Sisters/nuns?

Well I'm not a very tidy person in spite of trying. So I won't be joining the order of the Sisters of Neatness. I did know a young sister many years ago who said she was an untidy person. But convents seem such absolutely immaculately tidy places it must be difficult for untidy folk to fit in.

I am exactly the same way. It's completely beyond me to be neat.

I think that one way the Sisters manage being so neat is by having so few possessions. It IS easier to be neat when you have less stuff.

But, don't worry, this order will not be called "The Sisters of the Immaculate House" or anything like that. Actually, we haven't officially named the Order yet.

I've heard that there are women who love to clean. Since this Order is intended to celebrate joy in Christ, maybe we can get some postulants who love to clean, and we'll let them do what they love.
