Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 [quote name='Veritas' date='Jul 7 2007, 01:16 AM' post='1316175'] + [img]http://www.op-stjoseph.org/nuns/olgrace/images/afro2.jpg[/img] These are the founding nuns of our monastery in Nairobi, Kenya. North Guildford is our daughter house and Kenya is our granddaughter house. They refer to our monastery as "Grandma's house." Most of the nuns return to the US and in fact, quite a few of the group even left religious life. This was during the turbulent time of the 60's. Sr. Kathleen, one of the foundresses, is the only one living. She was originally from our monastery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EJames Posted July 9, 2007 Author Share Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) Besides the Code of Canon law, and the express wish of The Popes, that Religious wear a distinctive habit, i thought this Blog entry form a "fulfilled Jew" convert to Evangelical Protestantism, living in an eastern US state.. was interesting.. [quote]I was walking to a training for work a while ago. As I was walking a car pulled down a driveway I was crossing and in it sat two catholic Sisters dressed in traditional garb. Immediately, almost instinctively, I had this moment of reverence. I think I almost put my hand to my heart or up to salute, I’m not really sure, all I know is I felt this need to show some sort of respect or honor, as if a King was passing. A couple days later Mindy and I were driving on the highway and passed another vehicle with four Sisters in it. Again, I felt this sense of reverence and need to show honor. Mindy and I talked about it for a little bit and she helped me decipher a little why we feel so much respect and admiration for nuns. The visible commitment to their faith, is almost unrivaled in our American culture. Even on my most devote day of religious commitment I seem half-hearted compared to a lifelong commitment these honorable women have put forth.Were does that commitment come from? Why are there so few examples of it in our culture? I certainly made me think about my commitment to Our Lord. I really do feel a level of reverence for nuns and monks. I think it should be mandatory to salute them when they come by, or something of that nature. Maybe I can glean some wisdom from some nuns who blog,?
