The newly professed sister is Sister Elizabeth, I believe the two novices are Sister Marie Therese and Sister Mary Thomas if I remember correctly.

If I am correct, I can't quite tell, that is Sister Mary David, the Novice Mistress.

EmilyAnn Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 [quote name='marigold' timestamp='1329323294' post='2387473'] Emilyann, these pictures are lovely. Don't you think it's a thrill to see a 'full nun' who is so young? [/quote] Oh yes, it's one of the things I love about the community, they are incredibly blessed when it comes to vocations and have a lot of young women interested. They have those two novices at the moment who both look quite young and they have another three potential entrants next year, at least one of whom is just leaving university this year.
Emma Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 What monastery is this? I've never really thought about a contemplative vocation but am inpressed by the clear happiness evident on the sisters' faces.

If you're interested in knowing more, [url="http://www.stceciliasabbey.org.uk/index.php"]this[/url] is their website. Their novice mistress is originally from the US so they're open to discerners from other countries.

[/quote] Not that I'm aware of, but you're right they do look alike. I think it's the habit. Oh I can't wait until it's me in that habit with them as my sisters.
Joan Marie Wandel Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 it that the order you want to join
EmilyAnn Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 Yes it is. I was there on a retreat not long ago, now just trying to figure how out to tell my mother I want to go on a live-in.
Joan Marie Wandel Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 how long is a live in? Doesn't your mom know you are discerning?
EmilyAnn Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 [quote name='Joan Marie Wandel' timestamp='1329352462' post='2387742'] how long is a live in? Doesn't your mom know you are discerning? [/quote] It's about 3-4 weeks. I told her I was discerning and she had such a bad reaction and we had such an argument that I ended up just saying "forget it, I won't keep discerning". I regretted it immediately but I'm too scared to open the subject again.
Joan Marie Wandel Posted February 16, 2012 Posted February 16, 2012 I'm so sorry your mom isn't supportive my parents are supportive but my brother makes jokes about it. Not good ones either
