What a beast website. The sisters are beasts....all of them They did an amazing job on this!

[laetitia crucis]

Incredible is right!!!



I especially like the "Day in the Life" section -- it's always nice being able to see the general schedule when discerning with an order!

This is one of the most beautiful websites ever. I love the way the sisters look, and I also love their veils which are really great. I am also glad they have kept the little cape-like thing that goes over the habit. So many communities don't use that anymore. It makes the habit look much more beautiful and very attractive for any body shape.

I wish more Orders were like this. Great website, great women, great nuns, great everything! This alone makes me want to be a Dominican! Anybody that has these nuns as teachers is blessed!

If I recall what a Dominican nun said once correctly, the nuns' habits (the nuns were around before women joined in the friars' work) were without that cape-thingy (sorry, I never remember its name ). So it's really an addition rather than something that was taken away.

It's called a capuce for men--- but that's b/c it includes the hood for them. And I think historically you're right. The sisters' habits were developed off the friars' habits, not the nuns'.

wow! it is STUNNING!

I love it. I am definitely going to spend some more time on there later this afternoon...

thank you for posting

lol I was thinking that too and I have never felt drawn to be a Dominican. They did an awesome job on the website... it resounds joy and totally captures their lives as dedicated to our Lord.

These are the kind of nuns that I like. Again, though, their necks should be covered for the sake of modesty, but at least they are pretty modest in other ways. The convent looks clean the way that women should keep things - glad to see their femininity is being protected. Good job, sisters!

I am not a feminist. I think feminism should die. But these comments are very condescending, like a parody of the way feminists think serious Catholics are. I think wimples are great, but don't you think there are about 1,000,000,000 things to worry about 1. in society 2. in the Church 3. in religious life before the Nashville Dominicans' necks?
Again, I agree that "making a house a home" is a good thing ascribed to women by proverbs, and there is some truth in it. But I don't think men's monasteries are covered with scrap paper and dead leaves just because women don't live there... I hope not, anyways.

Apologies, my fair lady!
