ThyHolyLove Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 That is sooo aweseome! I'm so happy that there will be a lot of girls there with you! It's crazy how the convents are overflowing; I just talked to Sr. Charlotte of the Sisters of Life and they're expecting 8-12 postulants woohoo!

If the contemplative life, you may want to check out the Cistercian nuns. They were a reform order founded in 1098 in France and follow a strict observance of the Rule of St. Benedict. Let me know if you want more information! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's excellent! Have you read it? It's written by a monk of the Order of Cistercians of Strict Observance. You may find it of great interest, considering that you're discerning with Cistercians.
