From what she had last posted here in VS about her discernment (quite a while ago -- I miss seeing her around! ) she is to be entering this September 8th. However, since that time I haven't heard anything from her or about her. I hope she's doing well.

[/quote] Her blog seemed to say, a few months ago, that she had been in definite Internet retirement, out of which Lilllabettt momentarily pulled her by tagging her for something and to which I presume she has since returned.

JTheresa Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 [size="6"]CONGRATULATIONS LC!!!!![/size] I can't imagine how excited you must feel!!! As we all know the Dominicans are great! And to have Saint Joseph as a patron... well, that's icing on the cake!!! As you said, I never really had a great devotion to Saint Joseph either, but since all the sisters in our community are consecrated with his name, I figured I should learn more about him. I read Joseph of Nazareth, and it was really really good. It gave as complete of a portrait of him as possible. Highly recommend it. I really can't remember the name of the author though, I read it on an Opus Dei retreat, but I think it was an Opus Dei priest. Wouldn't surprise me. And they have a new movie about him!!! It looks really good any one seen it?

vee Posted June 10, 2010 Posted June 10, 2010 I really like that picture at the top of the charism page on their website. Is that a painting they have there or just art they put on the site? Also, I really like the chapel. Very English.

However, I have no idea idea if they have one like it in the cloistered part of the convent... I don't remember seeing on in the guest part. However, that second picture IS in their chapel. They place lighted candles on each side after the [i]Salve[/i] procession, during the [i]O Lumen[/i]. Love it. Ah, and the chapel! I love the architecture of it, and how open it is. Nice high arches... beautiful wood.... Sr. Julie told me the wood in the chapel "has a 300 year warranty". I chucked a bit when she told me this. Then she said, "Really." Oh! Then, of course, I immediately thought of an Eddie Izzard bit about how in America we think everything is [i]soooooo[/i] "old" here if it's over 50 years old...
