Sarah147 Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 [quote name='Piccoli Fiori JMJ' timestamp='1302821892' post='2228775'] Yup! That's how it works I actually got back from a visit to the Monastery today. I was measured for the postulant jumper (although I was the one doing the measurements, lol) and I got to try some old jumpers on. There was one that fit almost perfectly... Sister joked that I could come tomorrow as I'd have something to wear! Oh... it felt so good to be there. Walking into the chapel for midday prayer was almost overwhelming, imagining that soon I would be there with them... He is so good to us. [/quote] Ohhh... :swoon: Please keep me close in your prayers. I really don't know what way orders will go with my health issues. And I soooo want to enter somewhere...

OnlySunshine Posted April 14, 2011 Share Posted April 14, 2011 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1302820109' post='2228769'] I remember over-hearing a rather funny story during my stay at the convent having to do with this exact scenario. I guess the way they did it with the SSVMs is that the sister whose shift was over would go and wake the next sister up. Well, the sleeping sister did not react kindly and, in her sleep, slapped the other sister who was trying to wake her up!! [/quote] LOL, that sounds like something I would do! I've actually slapped my mom without realizing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmelite15 Posted April 15, 2011 Share Posted April 15, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1302802598' post='2228667'] I'm not sure how it works in the PCC communities, but in Carmelite communities, they use a device called a clapper or clacker that a nun sounds as she goes past each cell. The nuns arise to the words, “Praised be Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary, His Mother. Come to prayer, Sisters, come to praise the Lord!” This is what the clapper looks like: [img]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-HaGezRyV2HM/TXEmvrN4HXI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/nxW_guQ-NEk/s320/images+%25281%2529.jpg[/img] [/quote] I asked the Carmelite's of Cristo Rey if they still use the clapper and they said YES! gosh I was so happy when they said that.

[/quote] Many communities that use the 1990 Constitutions still use them as well as the old school 1991 Carmels. I remember hearing what they sounded like in the movie, "Therese" right after she entered Carmel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
