AnneLine 5,194 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Anneline, it seems from your posts that you know these San Francisco sisters well. I know they came from Mexico, but I wonder if you know whether or not they speak only Spanish. I know the Carmelites in San Francisco are both English and Spanish speaking. Is their liturgy in English? Sorry to hound you with these questions, but I am interested in learning more about them. If you have any info on the type of life they lead, I would be grateful. Totally Franciscan, I've just seen this post... I know some about them, and I can answer your questions, but it will have to be at a later time... I'm heading to bed right now. BUT I can leave you with this on this community: Sisters’ vocation to cloistered life takes them to San Francisco monastery October 6th, 2010 By Valerie Schmalz http://www.catholic-sf.org/news_select.php?newsid=27&id=57687 TF, don't hesitate to bump the thread if I forget to post more.... ;) Edited December 7, 2013 by AnneLine Totally Franciscan and AveMariaPurissima 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katarzyna 2 Posted December 7, 2013 Report Share Posted December 7, 2013 The image is from the website of the Poor Clares in Poland. The monastery in Kalisz, the only monastery of Poor Clares in Poland that follows the rule of Saint Clare. http://www.klaryski.com/2012.02.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blessed&Grateful 69 Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Who are these sisters The bottom sisters were identified a while ago (I think) as being from South America (Brazil?) Their habits make me swoon. So simple yet so elegant. nikita92 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

inperpetuity 281 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Does anyone know who these sisters are? I know they are from France but I don't know their name. AugustineA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Graciela 91 Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 These sisters are in Draguignan, France and are the "Petites Soeurs de la Consolation du Sacre-Coeur et de la Sainte Face" founded in 1989. Web site is http://monastere-la-consolation.org. Their beautiful habit reflects the influence of Charles de Foucauld and their charism is to "console the Sacred Heart and Holy Face of Jesus with each moment of their lives." They are "missionary nuns" non-cloistered, their Divine Office is chanted in Latin gregorian chant and they have adoration of the Blessed Sacrament every day,individually and as a community. These bits of info are my own translations of the French on their web site, so I apologize in advance for any inaccuracies. I am very impressed with them and would like to visit them when next I visit France (May it be soon, please, Lord). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
