Considering the Nuns came from Valparaiso (Nebraska airports aren't very big/important) it was probably a smaller, connecting flight they used to get to California. I don't believe it was a private jet

That makes sense-may God reward you! Are you a local, or are you just not totally clueless about geography like I am? I had no clue that Nebraska was kind of a 'no man's land.'

Yes, they both pray all of the Hours only in Latin. :) The only Office books they use are of the Ancient Carmelite Rite which the Carmelite Monks reprinted for them as they also use these books. I believe they are the only Carmels in the world that still use them. They also have the Martryology for Prime everyday. I don't know how Matins works with other Orders, maybe the same as theirs, but they have 9 Psalms with 3 readings, except on 1st and 2nd Class Feast days when there are still 9 Psalms but also 9 readings; 3 in-between each 3 Psalms. And of course the Te Deum. On First Class Feasts Lauds is sung, and sometimes the Invitatory for Matins (Pslam 94; Venite Exsultemus) with its Antiphon is sung also, sometimes also the Te Deum. There is much more about the traditions they use; but I don't know if I could explain it all well enough....

 

I know this post is old, but if you are still around, VeniJesuAmorMi, would you describe more about their office and unique traditions?
