faithcecelia Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Community of Our Lady of Walsingham, the first community I discerned with and one I would have loved to have joined, but God had other plans [img]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/ruthbale/colw2.jpg[/img] [img]http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k216/ruthbale/colw1.jpg[/img] I love their habits - they carefully chose something practical, hardwearing (demin) and easily washable! By having them sleeveless they wear tops under which reduces wear and the scapular is removed for housework, driving etc so it always looks neat. And I LOVE the hoods!

[/quote] It might sound odd but even before I knew their status these pictures made me feel very uncomfortable. I can't explain it, I just feel twitchy I sort of wonder if its the elaborate setting of their monastery, but I don't get the feeling with some of the other communities that have ornate and elaborate settings/ceremonies, its just really strange.

Cam42 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 I love nuns. I love them in habits. I love them in pant suits. I love that 90% are octogenarians. I love sisters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
