Me, too. And, if they are committed to wearing their habit, and if they are member of IRL/CMSWR, and the horarium. Also, how long is the postulancy, novitiate, temporary vows.

[quote name='Cathoholic Anonymous' post='1372609' date='Aug 28 2007, 05:27 PM']Please write about your apostolate and lifestyle very clearly and simply. I get a bit frustrated with material that declares, "We aim to unite ourselves closely with the Gospel, in a spirit of humility and simplicity, and serve Christ in a radical way through faithful adherence to our charism and loyalty to Mother Church." It sounds...too grand. And all the orders say the same thing, so you end up not really learning anything. Be distinctive.[/quote]

Wow, that's too bad. When I see something like the quote written above, it tells me they have good theology. Definitely a plus! I love the quote! LOL

Oh, and WELCOME sister!

Wow!
You have all been so helpful.
The Lord bestows His gifts on His beloved while they slumber.
I think it is about time for me to take this and get something concrete done. Perhaps when I've done that I can run it by you and you can let me know what you think. I'm thinking that I may have to have two different brochures, one with more specific details about the community and another more geared to inspire people to discern.
But it's time I get to work.
Thanks again to you all.
