Thanks for posting CF! BTW: If you didn't already know, there is a sister Chiara Francesco (or maybe Francesca?) with the Cleveland PCCs. Love the name.

Yes, I discerned with them a while back - that's where I got the name - and I love those nuns to pieces! Also, they have a Sr. Colette who, as a baby, was actually WRAPPED IN a veil worn by the real St. Colette! Mother Mary Francis mentions this story in her book "A Right to be Merry". No wonder she became a PCC! While visiting the Cleveland PCCs, Mother told me how this happened but I forget now, unfortunately.

So interesting! I don't remember that at all, which means that I need to read ARTBM again.

Ah, what an amesome religious name to have! If I entered the PCCs, I would love to have the name Francis or Clare, or any variation, but even that is a long shot kind of hope. To have BOTH would be mind blowing. She must be a special sister!

The Mother at the time of my visit to the Cleveland PCCs told me this story and then I realized it was this PCC monastery. If I remember right, Mother Mary Francis doesn't mention which monastery. I checked my copy to see if I marked it (I've read this book only like 10 times and it's highlighted, dog-eared out the wazoo!), but I didn't as I didn't find the page.

I can't remember now if the story was when this nun was born (she is old now), either someone in her family had this relic veil or a relative or friend did and she was wrapped in it. I also THINK this took place in her birth country - Ireland maybe? Not sure, it's been a while since the Cleveland PCCs told me and all this may not be in ARTBM book.

The book is the one [url="http://www.teresadelosandes.org/anglais/a_biblio_span.htm"]here[/url] with the Rosary on the cover (now if I would just read through it and the other one I have on her! Ah, there are so many wonderful books to read out there, esp. on Carmel!) Tomorrow I will post a funny picture from it of Juanita and her sisters, which I've never seen anywhere else..

Ha, this thread is already old .. but just to let you all know, I haven't forgotten about this and intend to post the picture!

Carmelite15, which Carmel did she enter, if you don't mind me asking? That's wonderful and I am praying for her!
