Mary's Child Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 [quote name='ToJesusMyHeart' timestamp='1346782236' post='2478327'] The MSSR also get a veil when they become postulants, after they finish candidacy. I love veils on postulants. [/quote] Wait are you reffering to the Marian Sisters of Santa Rosa? That's great. They have a time for candidacy?

She invited me to come visit at the end of September but I wont be able to make it this time. I would love to sometime soon. I love that they have Eucharistic Adoration and pray the rosary as a community. It seems to me that most active communities have one or the other but not both and this was extremely important for me.

[/quote] Yes I felt like I was on a spiritual high for a couple days after I talked to her. She was so sweet and very knowledgeable, I had no trouble talking to her and I am looking forward to meeting her. If I do enter an active community I would like it to be with them. Another thing that draws me to them is their consecration to Mary, I already made my consecration and it would be amazing to enter a community where this is part of their spirituality.

ToJesusMyHeart Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Whoop! Their Montfortian spirituality is so attractive for me as well. Maybe we'll meet one another too, if we both are called to their community. That'd be cool! I wonder if any PMers have ever entered the same community?

I wonder if any PMers have ever entered the same community? Yes, there have been quite a few. Two Phatmassers discerned and entered the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word in Alabama but they discerned out of the order. One of them has been very helpful to those (including me) who have expressed interest in the Sisters. There was another girl who entered is now professed.

Kayte Postle Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I voted no, I think having to "put up" with the postulant outfit for however long, just makes you long that much more for the holy habit. The TOR's postulants just wear a collared white shirt, a black skirt, and a Tau Cross. The novices wear a white collared shirt, a rather unflattering jumper, and cute small white veil. Then finally when they make first vows three years in do they get to be clothed in the holy habit! If it were me, after all that time, I would think the simple Franciscan habit was the most beautiful, glorious thing on God's good earth. (the TOR's also have a heavy emphasis on penance, the "putting up" with the postulant/novice outfits would merit one quite a bit of penance to offer up for souls. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
