Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 [url="http://nunsopsummit.org/blog"]http://nunsopsummit.org/blog[/url] [img]http://nunsopsummit.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/2012-06-14-05.27.26.jpg[/img] Sr. Deepa entered 5 years ago on this day. She left as a novice and reentered yesterday afternoon! Please pray for her and for the aspirants coming this summer!
Lisa Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Praise the Lord for this great gift given and re-offered!
AnneLine Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 That is so wonderful! Prayers for all of you and your VERY full novitiate!!! Give Sr. Deepa our love!
Strictlyinkblot Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Prayers for Sr. Deepa! The novitiate does indeed look very full.
krissylou Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Hooray! I have a question. Does the Rule of St. Albert or your own Constitutions say anything about leaving and re-entering? I know the Rule of St. Benedict says that you can leave and re-enter twice, but if you leave a third time that's for keeps. (That was explained to me as "It can take a while to find your path, that's life, but ultimately you need to pick a path and not keep going back and forth.") I was curious if different Rules dealth with that sort of thing differently. Hooray for Sister Deepa. What an amazing journey she has been on.
mantellata Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Rule of St. Albert??.... hmm.... I always thought Dominicans followed the Rule of St. Augustine.
krissylou Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Now that you mention it, I think the Rule of St. Albert might be what the Carmelites do and Dominicans are Rule of St. Augustine. Benedictines have the Rule of St. Benedict and the Poor Clares have the Rule of St. Clare. Those I can remember easily!
Blessed&Grateful Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 what a beautiful community, so much joy on everyone's face (and I am sure in their hearts too!)

[/quote] Yes, the Rule of St. Albert is what the Carmelites follow along with St. Teresa's Constitutions (for the Discalced orders). Dominicans follow the Rule of St. Augustine. Fun fact: the Sisters of Life and the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word follow the Rule of St. Augustine as well.

I remember watching "Chiara e Francesco" and, each time he was asked to write a rule, he said "Our rule is the Gospel." I just checked the SsEW site and this is what I found: [i]We, the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word, are a new order that follows the Rule of St. Francis of Assisi with St. Dominic and St. Francis as our patrons.[/i] Oops!
