Thomist-in-Training Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 What are the best web sites for general articles about the history, customs, spirituality & so on of the Poor Clares? I got a nice letter about the Poor Clares of the Immaculate, and want to read more. I probably know more about Carmelites than Poor Clares, because they are so much more famous.

DominicanPhilosophy Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 +JMJD Greetings on St. Dominic Day! This is a [i]very[/i] thorough (and a bit overwhelming) link: [url="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12251b.htm"]http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/12251b.htm[/url] I personally really enjoy this site, because it has so much good information on all the orders, but not to the point of swallowing one up in dates and names: [url="http://www.religious-vocation.com/differences_religious_orders.html"]http://www.religious-vocation.com/differen...ous_orders.html[/url] It is a wonderful new site, and I think I originally heard about it weeks back through a PhatMass post. I hope this helps! En Maria et Christo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Therese Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) This is one of my favorite poor clare sites: [url="http://www.poor-clares.org/"]Bethelehem Monastery[/url]. I think they have a very beautiful monastery.

alicemary Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 Read some of Mother Francis' works....books like A right to be merry is wonderful. It is a bit dated now, but has some wonderful stories in it about the Collentine Poor Clares. Mother Francis died a couple years ago, but her books live on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toservelove Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The book [u]A Right to be Merry [/u]is an excellent description of the Poor Claire spirituality. It is also excellent for anyone who is trying to decide between cloistered contemplative or active. When I read it, I couldn't put it down. I [b]knew [/b]contemplative was my calling.
