TeresaBenedicta Posted April 29, 2011 Posted April 29, 2011 http://youtu.be/SAajEHWjnuQ So this amesome video captures [i]perfectly[/i] the essence of the SSVMs!! It features: the night before investiture (singing & fun), the investiture ceremony, the party, and what convent life is life thereafter. :D
Lisa Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 lovely! question: what are the flower-like things in the future novice's braids?

[/quote] They are [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisteria"]wisteria[/url], which the Founder once used as analogy to the sisters because of "their great number with which the Lord has blessed them; because they are always traveling together in a group; and because they seem to be fragile, yet they have an enormous resistance."

tnavarro61 Posted April 30, 2011 Author Posted April 30, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAajEHWjnuQ&feature=youtu.be Just copied the link. the one you placed is the" shortened link". maybe that's why it didn't work?
FutureSister2009 Posted April 30, 2011 Posted April 30, 2011 They seem really great. I'd like to schedule a visit with them over the summer
Lisa Posted May 1, 2011 Posted May 1, 2011 Dude! I think (not 100% sure) but I'm pretty sure there were some of the SSVM's at JPII's beatification. EWTN did several pan-over's of the crowd, and I saw blue and gray habits like these! So who knows, maybe there were some there!

[/quote] I was watching part of it and saw some Alton Franciscans, too! I didn't see any Dominicans, but there weren't too many crowd shots. There was a sister reading something, but I could only see her face so I couldn't do "guess which order." One of the priests from my church is there! He was so excited when he was talking about it last week!

John Paul II[/url], who is very much a spiritual father to the Institute.

FutureSister2009 Posted May 13, 2011 Posted May 13, 2011 I'm still waiting to hear back from them so I can set up a visit! My patience is really being tested while I'm waiting to hear back from these Orders!
