HopefulBride Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 [quote name='Francis Clare' timestamp='1327935585' post='2377630'] Mother Gabrielle has listed her(formerly Sr. Mary Catherine) spiritual director as Fr. Jacques Daley who is a Benedictine. Perhaps that's what spurred the change. I find it also interesting the monastery they're looking at was one of St. Francis'. Maybe they should be Franciscatines? Or how about Benediscans? Just kidding. [/quote] hahaha. I like the sound of Benediscans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chasmi Posted January 31, 2012 Author Share Posted January 31, 2012 Francis Clare...I LOVE IT!!!...Benediscans!!! Perfect...I think Mother Gabrielle would get a real laugh out of that. I've heard her speak and she has a very fun sense of humor. I too thought it ironic that the monastery they chose was a St. Francis monastery. Goes to show...we're all brothers and sisters and only Our Dear Lord knows our path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmilyAnn Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 [quote name='Antigonos' timestamp='1327922180' post='2377578'] Why the change from Franciscan to Benedictine? [/quote] Because Benedictines are the best! Not that as a future Benedictine I'm biased at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what happened to Sister Catherine (now Mother Gabrielle.) She was my roommate in college and a bridesmade when I married. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
