Missionaries Of Divine Revelation (They Have Green Habits)

[Lumiere]

I ran into [url="http://www.divinarivelazione.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&layout=item&id=32&Itemid=12"]these sisters[/url] on the Internet.

I seem to recall someone inquiring about some sisters they had seen in Rome who had on green habits.

They are in Rome, but their website is in English.

Among other things, they are the tour guides at St. Peter's Basilica.

They are having [url="http://www.divinarivelazione.org/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=225&Itemid=17"]discernment retreat[/url] October 29- November 1st.

What a cool/important apostolate- to introduce people to the history and beauty of the Church! Thanks Lumiere. You've had some really interesting and helpful posts in VS lately!

[Strictlyinkblot]

Thanks so much for putting the link up. That sounds like a wonderful retreat. And its the week I'm on annual leave. Hmmm, maybe someone's trying to tell me something.

green habits!

[linnie]

Now if someone could just find the sisters I saw in Rome who wore light pink and light lavender habits. Its driving me nuts!

The only pink habits I know of are worn by the Holy Spirit Adoration sisters www.adorationsisters.org They're the ones that run the 24hr live link to the Blessed Sacrament www.savior.org but they don't wear their pink habit outside of the cloister, they change into a grey one if they have to go out and about.

You do like the colorful orders, don't you?

[i<3franciscans]

Green is a wonderful color, but i will stick to grey.

[inperpetuity]

I like the green.

[LaPetiteSoeur]

It's different! Their apostolate is really cool.

[Clare~Therese]

I like their habits.

[MargaretTeresa]

ooooh.... green....

Yup, guilty. It would be ironic if I ended up joining one of the orders I first discerned with, Benedictines or Carmelites

And this is why the habit is green. Look at the BVM's mantle: here she is the Virgin of the Divine Revelation.

Green is a post-Vatican II innovation. Green clearly violates the sense of dreariness associated with pre-Vatican religious life expressed through the centuries-old-traditions of black, brown, or gray habits (except for the Dominicans, of course, but they've always been somewhat peculiar). If black, brown, and gray were good enough for centuries' worth of sainted religious, they're good enough for me.

I hope these radical innovators become known as "the green nuns" and people get the mistaken idea that they're Martians!


And what is up with those stupid turtlenecks?!?! YET ANOTHER post-Vatican II innovation. No orthodox saint EVER wore a turtleneck! (You can read the ENTIRE Catholic Encyclopedia, including the orthodox 1903 edition, and NEVER find mention of a saint in a turtleneck.)







Green dresses and turtleneck shirts...


Now that I think about it, I hope they come to be known as the Holy Turtles! Hard-shelled Catholics!

awwww, Luigi.
Why so bitter!?!?

[krissylou]

Folks! Do not get angry!

Luigi is playing!

Luigi has also said that my kitchen table is a post-Vatican II innovation.

Which I suppose, it is.
