Recordare Virgo Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 In my dreams, the Sisters of Bethlehem. They have hoods and silence and eastern spirituality and they live in spectacularly gorgeous places. But they don't have some other things that, when I visited them, I realized I missed. In my dreams and in reality, the community I'm discerning with. How good is God?! Found out this morning I'm going to spend a week with them . . . next Sunday. That's great news. Please let us know how it went! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I may ask, which things did they lack that you missed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petitpèlerin Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 (edited) If I may ask, which things did they lack that you missed? Funny you should ask today when I'm revisiting and questioning these for the first time in months. Um, most of all, homilies. They have priests who celebrate mass but there is never a homily, not even on Sunday. During other parts of their daily liturgy they will read older homilies, for example by John Paul II. But no live ones. Also they have brothers but they don't have contact with them. I've always been a guys' girl (as opposed to a girls' girl) and it would be very hard for me not to have contact with boys and men, even very limited, very infrequent contact. These are things I'd be willing to give up, of course, to follow Christ wherever he wants me, but they could also be signs of where he wants me. What the Sisters of Bethlehem do have is solitude, and lots of it, and I'm not sure about this desire I have for solitude. I seem to want and need far more of it than most people do, even religious people. Hence why I'm struggling today: where does he want me?

Mary+Immaculate<3 Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) Ever since I stopped discerning this has been a fun game I have been doing. I think without a doubt my dream Community would be the Knights of the Holy Eucharist: http://knightsoftheholyeucharist.com/ They do tours for visitors of the EWTN shrine (I've always wanted to give tours, especially at a place so cool), they are a great bunch of guys, I LOVE their amazing habits and swords (Their habits are modern but still traditional. They are designed after what the Knights in the Crusades wore), and oh my goodness have you seen their AMAZING schedule?! On Saturdays and Sundays, they get over eight hours of free time each day to do whatever the heck they please! I got excited for a second because I thought you meant that they wore swords AS A PART OF THEIR HABIT!! Then I looked and I realized you were right, they do wear a sword: the Rosary. God bless this awesome community. Edited April 1, 2013 by Mary+Immaculate<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
