Chiquitunga Posted February 17, 2007 Author Posted February 17, 2007 I didn't know this until I read a little about her, but she had a miracle just like the one of St. Elizabeth of Hungary, where the bread she was carrying for the poor turned into roses when her father asked what she was carrying. She is often pictured like this, with roses in her lap, just like St. Elizabeth of Hungary. They probably laugh about that together in Heaven now.

EJames Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 (edited) Glory to Jesus Christ! For those interested in Carthusian/Bethlehem Monks and Nuns// Eremetic life/solitude/Camaldolese /Monastic history..even Capuchin history!! etc., ([i]there is even a half page reference to the Monastic Sisters and Brothers of Bethlehem and the Assumption, since the Brothers now live in one of the Original Camaldolese Hermitages at Mt Corona.[/i] ), a must read !!!a great book i am just in the middle of is A new book about Camaldoli is now available: [b] Camaldolese Extraordinary[/b] [i] The Life, Doctrine, and Rule of Blessed Paul Giustiniani. By: Dom Jean Leclerq and Blessed Paul Giustiniani. Edited by the Camaldolese Hermits of Monte Corona. On the Landscape of Christian hermit life, Paul Giustiniani (1476-1528), Blessed by fame, is a towering figure. To him that dazzling genius, Jean Leclercq, O.S.B., devoted two of his finest monastic studies. the biography, never before published in English; and the doctrinal synthesis, Alone with God, much-loved when it first appeared and out-of-print for over a generation. And this is not all. Leclercq's masterpieces are flanked on the left by a variegated general introduction and on the right by selections from Blessed Paul's Rule, a translation of St. Romuald's Brief Rule with commentary, an epilouge sketching the history of Monte Corona, and ample indices. There are also more than a dozen carefully selected illustrations. Our efforts have not been aimed at benefiting only monks and nuns, clergymen and scholars. Here is a book for giving any reader a powerful incentive to enter into, or to delve more deeply into, the spiritual life.[/i] ------------------- If You scroll down on link below close to the bottom you see it, with ordering info!

Chiquitunga Posted April 19, 2007 Author Posted April 19, 2007 (edited) In case anyone is seriously thinking of the Carthusian Nuns, there are a couple Americans that discerned with them in the International Fellowship of St. Bruno. [url="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IFSB/"]http://groups.yahoo.com/group/IFSB/[/url] One was visiting the Certosa della Trinita in Italy and was accepted but didn't end up going there. The other was at Santa Maria de Benifaca in Spain. The Father Prior at the Vermont Charterhouse usually recommends for English speaking women Benifaca as the Mother speaks English fluently. I also spoke with another young woman that visited the Carthusians at Notre Dame in France a couple years ago. It is definitely very difficult for an American to consider a vocation there - would definitely have to be God's will - the same for all vocations ... Just thought I'd post this.

Chiquitunga Posted August 17, 2007 Author Posted August 17, 2007 The Charterhouse of the Transfiguration in Vermont has a website now: [url="http://transfiguration.chartreux.org"]http://transfiguration.chartreux.org[/url] It's very simple in keeping with the Carthusian spirit. Here's something on their site regarding the nuns, on their FAQs page: [quote]Is there a monastery for Carthusian nuns in North America? No, there is no Carthusian foundation here in USA or Canada for our Carthusian nuns as yet and we don't know when that might come to reality. Please contact our nuns in Europe and Korea directly for any other questions and inquiries. You will find in the Contacts section of this site the addresses of the monasteries. You can also download a [url="http://transfiguration.chartreux.org/Publications/11-CarthusianNuns.pdf"]PDF document[/url] about Carthusian nuns which contains the addresses and contact data of all the monasteries for nuns.[/quote]

And many of the little booklets under publications are available on PDF file. I ordered some of these a while back from the Mt. Equinox giftshop near them. Also the aritcle "Meditation on the Carthusian Vocation" is finally available to read in English, which hasn't been on their international site for a long while - [url="http://www.chartreux.org/"]http://www.chartreux.org/[/url]
