bmb144 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hi all, A friend of mine is in some fairly serious spiritual trouble and the people supporting her want to contact the Intercessors of the Lamb- www.bellwetheromaha.org Do any of you know of them and what do you know about them? She is very hesitant to involve them, so any information would be most welcome. In His Light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SisterAli Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I discerned with them for about a year, they are a great group of Sisters, Brothers, and Priests....and would be GREAT...and trustworthy of someone who is in some serious spiritual warfare.....I'd be glad to talk more with you of any questions you might have, just send me a private message.... God Bless You.. Allie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodChild Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I don't know if they can help her. I looked through their website and I didn't pick out anything bad .... but just how would they help her? I am unsure but they seem to be in the USA? How would they help in Australia? By prayer? They don't seem to say anything about their Catholic standing either (maybe I missed something in the web page) but they appear legit. If your friend is hesitant maybe its not the best option. Have your tried the Carmelites in Brisbane for spiritual direction? They are very lovely. My advice is probably not much help .... and probably what you figured anyways. lots of prayers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memory-singer Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I think they are on the CMSWR member list so they must be a good group. Dare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passionheart Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I spent time with them in a discernment retreat. Mother Nadine came up to Ottawa one year to give a Lenten retreat. This retreat alone was a time of healing for me. As well, they discerned that I wasn't out of mind and that I did have a vocation to religious life. So I kept on looking. There was a possible vocation with them but it didn't work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgirl Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I have a friend from college who is in the Intercessors of the Lamb! Her name is Sister Mary Regina. They are very orthodox (more toward the charismatic end), and I would definitely recommend them for helping your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) + I went to school with these sisters in Rome (at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas aka the Ang). They are totally legit as in down with Papa and the Magisterium. They are particularly hard corp as they beg [for] all of their meals! ***SORRY, I was referring to "THE LITTLE SISTERS OF THE LAMB". I don't actually know about the "INTERCESSORS" *** Here's a picture at the site of a friend of mine -scroll down to July 2: [url="http://roamingroman.blogspot.com/"]http://roamingroman.blogspot.com/[/url] Here's a more explanatory page with pictures: [url="http://www.lourdes-magazine.com/article.php3?id_article=140?=en"]http://www.lourdes-magazine.com/article.ph...article=140?=en[/url] They are uber cool!

brendan1104 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Yep, on their website. Calling the mother superior's teachings 'anointed' and 'full of unction' and then they 'pray' and 'praise' like protestant charismatics...

Has anyone her visited them? [/quote] Yes. As I said earlier, there was a possible vocation with them but it didn't work out. As it is with Madonna House Apostalate, there are houses that are for the women and there are houses for the men. No coed living here folks!!! As well since they have a lay community attached to them, some of the members live near by. They are responsible for their own upkeep. As for Canonical status: Public Association of the Faithful and they are on the road to the status of Society of Apostolic Life. Our Canon Laws don't allow for mix communities as religious orders so communities like Madonna House and Beatitudes usually come under the status of Public Association or even Secular Institute. These communities are mixed with lay men and lay women priests and in the case of the Community of the Beatitudes consecrated women (religious) as well.
