LoveZoe11 Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 I'm going on a retreat with the Trappistines in Wrentham MA. I'm super excited!!

Gabriela Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I wouldn't worry about austerity if I were you. I was told the Carthusians are extremely austere, but I found even their lifestyle quite livable. Vatican II made RL a whole lot more "human", sensitive to what people coming from the mainstream culture are used to, etc. Anyway, many blessings on your retreat!

NadaTeTurbe Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I would not say that cistercian are austere, but more are rather simple. All the cistercian in France live in beautiful monastery and retreat. I hope this retreat will be well ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissylou Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Oooh. They have so many new-ish vocations right now, it's quite exciting! I take it this was one of their discernment weekends? I've never done that, although I've been there pretty frequently for "normal person" retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
