The newly professed sister is Sister Elizabeth, I believe the two novices are Sister Marie Therese and Sister Mary Thomas if I remember correctly.

If I am correct, I can't quite tell, that is Sister Mary David, the Novice Mistress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 [quote name='marigold' timestamp='1329323294' post='2387473'] Emilyann, these pictures are lovely. Don't you think it's a thrill to see a 'full nun' who is so young? [/quote] Oh yes, it's one of the things I love about the community, they are incredibly blessed when it comes to vocations and have a lot of young women interested. They have those two novices at the moment who both look quite young and they have another three potential entrants next year, at least one of whom is just leaving university this year.

Emma Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 What monastery is this? I've never really thought about a contemplative vocation but am inpressed by the clear happiness evident on the sisters' faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're interested in knowing more, [url="http://www.stceciliasabbey.org.uk/index.php"]this[/url] is their website. Their novice mistress is originally from the US so they're open to discerners from other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yes it is. I was there on a retreat not long ago, now just trying to figure how out to tell my mother I want to go on a live-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't your mom know you are discerning? [/quote] It's about 3-4 weeks. I told her I was discerning and she had such a bad reaction and we had such an argument that I ended up just saying "forget it, I won't keep discerning". I regretted it immediately but I'm too scared to open the subject again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
