dymphnamaria Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 I just thought this was supposed to be the life I want. Unfortunately, not for me. Does anyone knows this monastic nuns? Or someone might be interested. They have a website. http://www.bethleem.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone might be interested. They have a website. http://www.bethleem.org/ I believe this is the same order which has a monastery at Bet Jamal just outside of Bethlehem, less than 10 km from me.

savvy Posted May 5, 2013 Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) savvy was discerning with this community, I believe, for a time. ;) No. It was with the Monastic Communities of Jerusalem, a different community. This one's cloistered. The spirituality is mostly the same, the mission is different. Jerusalem sisters are not cloistered, and are monastics, in the city, Edited May 5, 2013 by savvy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriela Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 http://english.bethleem.org/monasteres/livingston.php :like: Can you tell us more about them and their life, Chiquitunga? Their website is huge, but really doesn't say a whole lot about their daily life, their sisters, their discernment/aspirancy/entrance process, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatitude Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Sure. :) Monastery of Our Lady of Palestine. Monastery of the Assumption. Laura Netofa. They have some beautiful photos on all three of the mini-sites. No e-mail, due to their eremitical life. You'd have to write or telephone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
