emmaberry Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1314989156' post='2299274'] I just happened to be looking for information about a religious community I want to visit and was surprised to find pictures of our very own Phatmasser-turned-postulant for the Poor Clare Colettines in Rockford, IL! Sr. Angela looks radiant! It's so nice to see her in her postulant outfit and veil. [center][img]http://nextlovingthing.com/Assets/110818.happy.jpg[/img][/center] [center][img]http://nextlovingthing.com/Assets/110818.trio.jpg[/img] The bottom picture shows her with Sr. Mary Laetitia, the novice mistress, and Mother Mary Regina, the Abbess or Superior of the Community. Let us pray for her vocation and her perseverance in religious life! [/center] [/quote] The picture is not loading for me.... If it is still available, could someone please point me to it? May God reward you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiquitunga Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Yay, it's working again!! It was down for a long time there. I emailed the owner of the blog and president of the ME Fund and he said every now and then the software fails and it has to be restarted. I'm saving the pictures while I can this time..

SstrAli Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 I'm so happy to finally see these pictures. I was dying to see them. I have had the privlege of meeting her and actually spending time with her getting to know her. She is a great person. I'm so happy for her. I know that she really struggle to get to the point of being able to enter. She looks beyond joyful. Praise God! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniJesuAmorMi Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 It's great to see those pictures again. In just two days now she'll be wearing the habit! I wonder if she has been on retreat? I'm not sure how that works with the Poor Clares. I'm sure it will be a beautiful ceremony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmaberry Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wonder if pictures will be posted anywhere? I doubt that the ME blog will cover it, as they already visited her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She won't know me, but you could tell her that she has my prayers on her special day, and please ask her to pray for me. If you would be able too, it would be great to hear about it (and maybe any pictures too!) "edit: I can't spell Abbess! so used to Prioress in Carmel."

We'll be expecting a full report of the ceremony, if that is okay with the nuns. I never knew her, but please pass along my prayers for her! I wonder, what constitutes a 'retreat' for the Poor Clares? Perhaps working inside the cell, or a hermitage? I'd guess it's different than Carmelite retreats.

My mom keeps asking me if this clothing is an open-to-the-public/during Mass sort of thing and I have no idea. Would a person just go to their morning Mass as usual or what? I tried to send you a PM but it didn't work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, you'd have to call the monastery to make sure: 2111 South Main Street Rockford, IL 61102 (815) 963-7343 Edited September 7, 2012 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
