shortnun Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 They're just lovely. They're praying for my ill aunt, too. I enjoy their chapel here in St. Louis. Very peaceful and quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? Besides, they don't go out too much do they? Aren't they cloistered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
she_who_is_not Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think jgirl posted about them a long time ago, saying they wore gray habits to see the pope when he was in St. Louis. I'll try to find it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruviel Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I've seen 'pink' sisters before, I never knew their name until now though. Very interesting. I would absolutely hate wearing pink everyday, but, the colors aren't the reason you choose the order, err, the order chooses you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 (edited) + From their website: "The rose color of our habits, which we wear in honor of the Holy Spirit, symbolizes our dedication to the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity. Evangelization and the sanctification of priests are particularly remembered in our life of prayer, which includes the singing of the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) in choir." [url="http://www.holyspiritadoration.org/webpages/index_about_us.htm"]http://www.holyspiritadoration.org/webpage...ex_about_us.htm[/url] They are AWESOME and when you look at the reasons -you CAN'T diss the Pink!!

Gemma Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 The Pink Sisters are what I start with when discussing the cloistered life. Usually a jaw-dropping experience for them. "They wear pink!" they exclaim. And some negative poster (whose post was deleted) said the colors of our SOLC proposed foundations made a mockery of religious life. Every color we're going to be using is already in use--including green. This poster thought all habits should be black. Blessings, Gemma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uruviel Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 I wonder why black? That's a bit odd, but maybe that poster had a reason to it. I'm sure that anyone would overlook the colors, I'm just not a fan of pink but that wouldn't matter anyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemma Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 [quote name='uruviel' post='1052455' date='Aug 28 2006, 11:24 PM'] I wonder why black?

[/quote] The poster posted under a pen name, and I think I know who it was. If it's who I'm thinking, they're a reject from a convent that wore black. Generally speaking, the colors mean: white--purity; joy black--penance; grief; death to the world red--Precious Blood; martyrdom; Sacred Heart blue--Our Lady purple--St. Joseph; penance; St. John Francis Regis green--hope; St. Jude brown--penance; poverty; Mt. Carmel burgundy--royalty; combination of Jesus & Mary's colors pink--joyful anticipation yellow and white--the majesty of Almighty God grey--penitence I think I've covered all the bases.

HisChild Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Wow, Gemma, what an awful thing to say about a person. . . 'they're a reject from a convent. . .' Regardless of a person's situation, that's rather harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sixtina87 Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 some communities, wear black still......some also wear brown, white, grey, pink, blue, and i think i am forgetting a color or two....oh well The martyrs wear Black, grey and/or white. Dominican's wear white, however some branches of Dominicans wear another color such as brown for the SSEW, blue for the sisters of life. the daughters wear blue habits and so does other communities as well. carmelites wear brown, duh! and etc, etc. i think you get the picture by now!!!
