Are you gonna pick your religious order based on their habits? Religious life as fashion show, or something?

[PhuturePriest]

Keep this religious nonsense in Vocation Station with all the rest of the nun habit threads. :|

FP that is mean!  :nono:  :yellowcard: Maybe we needed to get the VS people incorporated into OpenMic since most of them just lurk in VS. I think it is a good idea! :) (and not just cause FP is saying no.) :p

Nah, but it's cool to see them. So often we just see the media portray nuns in black and white penguin suits, so it's good to raise awareness of the real diversity of habits. :) 

[Not A Mallard]

 

Hey, I met the second one over to the right of the bishop at a mall after Seek!

[veritasluxmea]

Sisters Adorers of the Royal Heart of Jesus 

 

 

Sisters of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts of Jesus and Mary 

 

And I love the Sisters of Life's habits... I'm a sucker for anything blue :P Fun fact, they were based of the Dominican Sisters habits!

You are my spirit animal, Ash.

This is a novice with the Petites Soeurs de la Consolation du Sacre-Coeur et de la Sainte Face. (Professed sisters add a blue mantle.) They're founded in the spiritual tradition of Bl. Charles de Foucauld, which is probably why I like them so much - whenever I catch sight of the heart and cross symbol that Charles designed I feel happy. :)

I can't even begin to tell you how long I've wondered who these sisters are! There was a very large number of them walking the Chartres Pilgrimage this year, and I couldn't for the life of me remember how to ask, "What order are you?" in French. XP Thanks a ton. :)

^ I love this image of a Cistercian nun. So beautiful.

 

Also, the Nashville Dominicans have a lovely habit.

They accompany pilgrimages as part of their apostolate, along with summer camps, youth events, and retreats/spiritual conferences for adults. They also make arts and crafts (Br. Charles emphasised the importance of manual labour, because Jesus was a carpenter and Charles wanted to imitate him as he was at Nazareth - a hidden life of work and prayer). If you feel drawn to a community that celebrates the Extraordinary Form of the Mass and chants the Office in Latin, then you should definitely check these sisters out. Their daily prayer also involves a lot of Adoration, as this was something very important to Brother Charles - all the communities founded in his spirituality mandate at least an hour, daily.

Wow...that's unbelievable. I can't believe I'd never heard of them before! Thank you so much for the information! They sound wonderful.
