laetitia crucis Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Yesterday I went to visit one of my good newly-noviced friends at the [url="http://sistersoflife.org/"]Sisters of Life[/url] novitiate in the Bronx. (They entered the Novitiate and received their habits on Thursday, June 4th.) I wish I could remember all their names, but alas, I cannot. So, instead I bring a two group photos.

TeresaBenedicta Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Yay!!! One of my friends is entering the Sisters of Life in September!
johnnydigit Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 how purty! may God bless their community with many more vocations! so are those 6 novices or do they wear the same habit as the professed?

The way you can tell is if they have the white veil, they are novices, but if they have the white veil with the blue band around the head, they are professed. Perpetually professed Sisters have the medal which is of the Madonna of the Streets. I'm so glad they are still getting a lot of vocations! Their "sister" community (pun intended), the CFR Sisters, are really good friends. They do recreation together very often.
shortnun Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 If Magnificat reads this she might share the novices names. My hunch is she knows them........
DameAgnes Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) I was on retreat with these young women last winter. Sorry, I don't remember any of their names, but I'm so glad (and unsurprised) to see that they all made it to clothing. Would love to know their names. By the way, their habits are gorgeous, and they make a cool rustling sound when they walk, as though they're wearing petticoats or something. Lovely women. Edited June 9, 2009 by DameAgnes

dominicansoul Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 one of them is seven77's sister.... but i don't know which one? Does anyone have the names?
Maria_Faustina Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Yes, they are beautiful, and their habits are awesome. Sr. Mary Gabriel and one other sister (I forgot your name, I'm sorry!) came to speak at my college. They are just a wonderful community, with a wonderful apostolate. It's great to hear they have this many new vocations! I highly recommend anyone discerning to take a look at them.

puellapaschalis Posted June 9, 2009 Posted June 9, 2009 Ok, I'm really bad at remembering faces - which one is Sadora?

Why? -- Because [b]I[/b] am. < > I guess it's time to step out of the vocation station closet... Hi, my name is Sadora and I had entered the SSVM in September 2006, but ended up leaving this past November. To say the least, God had other plans for me (and God-willing, another community) -- to my utmost surprise, shock, and devastation -- but as always, God is very, very good. I don't doubt my vocation in the least, but have definitely grown in trust and surrender. I know He has a place for me... I just have to keep searching. (Please continue to pray for me. ) And on a side-note, I made a different account as I had a lot of trouble using my old one; plus, I wanted an actual screen-name instead of my real name. < /> Okay, back to topic! The short sister is named Sr. Marie-Noel Maximillian. She's from Canada and she's just about my height -- approximately 5'1". From my vertically challenged perspective, I'd say those others are some very tall sisters. Also, the really tall one of the left bottom picture is my friend (also from Kentucky), and her new name is Sr. Anne Marie Guadalupe. I wish I could remember more of their names... one of them is Sr. Grace Dominic, another Sr. Mariae Letitia (I love that one), and... .... I just can't remember... Anyhoo, there ya go.
puellapaschalis Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 You [i]really[/i] need to meet VA. I want to see a photo of the two of you standing next to each other. Preferably in habits. You can pass it to me through the grille

[/quote] It must be so weird having people talk about you in the third person! Sometimes we're a right bunch of gossips I actually thought I should join the Sisters of Life because they have a sister with achondroplasia, and together we could quite possibly rule the world. But I want a black veil eventually.

(<-- they need a smiley with a happy tear!) The Sister of Life with achondroplasia is named Sr. Charlotte -- she's absolutely lovely!! She's the current Postulant Mistress. And I believe the SSVM also has a sister with achondroplasia -- in Brazil, maybe? Or at least somewhere in South America...I saw a group picture once with her in it.

Achondroplasia is something like cousins with the little genetic party that led to my height (it has to do with the way cartilage is formed in your body). My doctors usually treated kids with achondroplasia, too (although the condition itself isn't treatable, some side-effects require attention).
Gemma Posted June 12, 2009 Posted June 12, 2009 "Gemma knows EVERYTHING. *nods gravely* (She just refuses to tell us most things, for fear of scaring us) " OMG--what a complement! What do you want to know? Funny you put the ninja on there--I had a dream where I became one! I remembered Sadora because of the uniqueness of the name, plus the fact that she's from my hometown.
