Feankie Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Just received the HUGE new publication from the DSMME's today . Interesting to see one of the new postulants, Sr. Helena. I thought she looked familiar and when I saw a picture of her a couple of pages later being blessed by Pope John Paul II, a lightbulb went off. I pulled out all my old issues of"Regina Angelorum" (yeah, I know, kind of a pack rat for saving all of them) and saw the same picture. She was a PCPA in Hanceville and the article spoke of her mother arranging a trip to the Vatican and an audience with PJP2 right before she entered the cloister. Yup, same young woman. I've always prayed for the women who left the PCPA's and I'm [u]overjoyed[/u] to see she's found a home with the DSMME's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Does anyone know where I can find the ORIGINAL Rule of St. Dominic online? I downloaded something that looks like a modern adaptation of it, and I'm confused... Poor Clares still follow the Rule of St. Clare, Benedictines and Cistercians still follow the original Rule of St. Benedict, I found the original Rule of Augustine easily enough—how come I can't find St. Dominic's? Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you phrase "the women who left the PCPA" makes it sound like there was a mass exodus. Is that so? I've never heard of it. Why did these women leave the PCPA? And when?

I've never heard of it. Why did these women leave the PCPA? And when? ROTFL Mass Exodus of nuns. ROTFL I think she was just referring to people who discerned out of the order. :) Kinda like what DS did with the DSMME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feankie Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Yes, there were a lot who left the PCPA's. Look at the Our Lady of the Angels thread to see some updates. No, it wasn't a mass exodus, more like a small drip, drip, drip! But if you are familiar with the nuns at all and look at their rosary program on EWTN (I believe it was taped in 2003) then take into account the ones I posted about on the other thread, compare it to the group picture of the nuns now and you'll see there re lot of the MIA!
