Entrance Ceremony of Denise McClain

" Dear daughter, what do you seek?"



" Dear Rev. Mother, I beg most humbly for

the love of God, to be admitted into this Community,

so that I may more securely work out the salvation

of my soul, by dedicating myself to the

Perpetual Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament

in the order of our Seraphic Father, Saint Francis,

and our holy Mother Saint Clare."

I was surprised to see the pictures up so fast!!! I thought it would be weeks before they would be there.

Thanks to all of you that befriended Denise and helped her during the past few months.

God bless you all!!!!

I'm not sure when those got posted on their web site.

I emailed the monastery at 4:30 yesterday pestering them for the photos. At 5:30 I received the following reply.

[quote]Dear Mr. Wilson,

"Patience is a virtue, possess it if you can: never found in women, and seldom in a man!"
(I used to hear the first part of this all the time from my Mom!).
Only kidding you, we will do our best! Please pray for us.

I think Sister Denise is going to fit right in. :

Hehe...I love the quote OLAM Dad!

Yay for the pics!!

[photosynthesis]

these are absolutely stunning.

"That leave-taking is every nun's dearest fligt to God -- and every family's. Nothing, not all the little casual family jokes and gallantries can soften it. It is the proof of love. And somewhere, before or after the goodbye, there is the journey -- ten minutes, perhaps in a car; overnight in a train; across the continent in a plane. Whatever the distance, it is the journey out of the world into another. It is the longest journey this side of death, which any soul can take. The longest but the dearest, because it is the journey to God."

Wow, what a lovely quote. I have to admit I felt a small bit of this when I got married. Leaving my father and mother and all that
