Guest Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 (edited) God bless you, Brother. I admire the Franciscan way of life. I kept my private vows very private and personal until my SD celebrated a Home Mass for me to renew life private vows. For some years initially, the vows were renewed yearly. I had about 20 or 25 at the Mass comprised of my family and very close friends, including two Carmelite nuns. One has been my best pal, my very best pal, for over 40 years now. I strive to live a very simple lifestyle and these days are not concerned about what I wear - that has pretty much settled into four outfits. I follow my own rule of life, which my SD approved. I do wish we were able to wear some form of religious habit as I think it is a witness that speaks very loudly of Jesus and His Gospel, His Church, without needing to say one word. But The Good Lord knows what He is about and the why's and wherefore's of it all.............and He knows best! Thank you very much, Brother Alberto, for sharing and may The Lord and His Grace continue to be with you in your journey. Thank you too for the picture.

Guest Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Bishop Charles Gauci http://cathnews.com/cathnews/33335-adelaide-gives-thanks-for-bishop-charles-gauci I knew Bishop Gauci when he was a young parish priest in my then parish. I always thought he was a particularly holy person and priest - always jovial and down to earth, eager to help, as well. In my mind's eye, I can still see him out in the parish-house garden, tending his little garden plot. Great choice, Pope Francis! - and Deo Gratius. http://cathnews.com/cathnews/33335-adelaide-gives-thanks-for-bishop-charles-gauci Daily Reflection – October 14 St Vincent de Paul Society “The will of God cannot be made known to us more clearly than when events happen without our concurrence or contrary to what we had asked.” – St. Vincent de Paul Edited October 15, 2018 by BarbaraTherese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 Today is the Optional Memorial of St Margaret Mary Alacoque - Mystic (Promoted devotion to The Sacred Heart) St Margaret Mary Alacoque (1647 - 1690) She joined the Visitation Sisters at Paray-le-Monial. She made rapid progress along the way of perfection and was given mystical visions as a result of which she worked hard to institute devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Church.

Guest Posted October 16, 2018 Share Posted October 16, 2018 https://www.amazon.com/Little-Talks-God-Paraclete-Essentials/dp/1557257795?ie=UTF8&tag=ththve-20&link_code=btl&camp=213689&creative=392969 From the time she was a young child, Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) sought God ceaselessly in both contemplation and action. By the time she was twenty-one, she had experienced her mystical marriage to Christ, and she had thrown herself tirelessly into ministering to the poor and the sick. Throughout her active ministry, Catherine pursued eternal Truth through prayer, reading, and ecstatic experiences. While in an ecstatic trance, Catherine dictated The Dialogue -- presented here in mildly modernized, edited form. In this intense and searching work, the holy saint of Siena offers up petitions to God, filling her conversation with instruction on discernment, true and false spiritual emotion, obedience, and truth, and revealing her famous image of Christ as the Bridge. Catherine's brilliant insights into the nature of the spiritual life and character of the Church will motivate contemporary Christians who seek to unite a life of prayer with a life of action.

Quote https://aleteia.org/2016/07/13/sisters-nuns-aspirants-postulants-novices-what-does-it-all-mean/ "A recent Aleteia piece discussing why some religious women wear the habit and others do not prompted a question from a reader, who wondered “What’s the difference between a ‘sister’ and a ‘nun,’ and how are postulants different from novices?” A word of warning: There are a million differentials between religious orders and communities, so this is a very basic and general overview. There will always be exceptions to something written here. Always. ...".......... read MORE on above link.
