My parents have a house very near to Loreto (15 minutes by car) and I often go there in the summer. If someone is interested I can ask some informations for you. They have really recently opened a new house in italy also here: http://www.arcidiocesidispoletonorcia.it/component/content/article/8-brevi/403-roccaporena-arriva-una-nuova-comunita-religiosa.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Is it wrong that they're similar?

I love purple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I apologize if I made it seem that way by my posts. I was just quite certain the two communities had some sort of relation to one another, it was just a matter of trying to figure it out!

OnlySunshine Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 (edited) The order I am praying to visit in a few months has one of the most beautiful habits I've ever seen--the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word. They combine the Franciscan brown and the cord with the Dominican white tunic and beautiful, long veil. I love their habit and it reminds me a lot of another of my favorite--the Sisters of Life. I've always liked the Sisters of Life's habit since I met them in December 2007. It is so very Marian and feminine. I also really love the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate's habit because it's so simple, yet so feminine. Their veil is so beautiful, too, and LONG!

Chamomile Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I mean, who's going to wear shoes in Heaven? So that begs the question - since Dominicans already have the white robe thing down for Heaven, why do they wear shoes? And not sandals, usually... [i]shoes[/i].
