chelsea Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks everybody for all the responses! I really need to pray about where God wants me. Do they accept women who are 18? Right now I'm all lined up to go to Franciscan in the spring, but God has been known to change my plans rather abruptly... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For [url="http://religiouslife.com/vocsearch/search.phtml?view=d&my_id=40&criteria=d"]Erlanger[/url], it's 21-35. I'm not sure about St. Louis .. Prayers for your discernment!

magnificat Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 [quote name='shortnun' post='1369874' date='Aug 24 2007, 10:39 AM']Their chapel is indeed small, but lovely. I wonder who will come to preside at mass now, as I believe the CRNJ are moving to a different diocese.[/quote] The CRNJ have returned to England. The Tridentine Latin Mass is still being offered on Sundays by a priest from the Archdiocese for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My visit was great! They are a beautiful community, as is very apparent on their vocations DVD, website, etc. Their spirituality is just awe-inspiring and so fundamental to the Church's mission. They are right at the heart of the Church, living the Paschal Mystery (and preaching it in word and example). They really seem to be so faithful to their original charism and to very authentic monastic life. They are very simple. I was very impressed overall!

Yeah, their spirituality is really something, to be so especially devoted and vowed to a greatful rememberance of the Passion of Christ. St. Paul of the Cross was quite an intense guy .. I felt this way also after visiting the St. Louis Passionists and reading their vocation literature. Their spirituality really goes right to the heart of the contemplative life. It is not at all "beating around the bush" if that term can be correctly used here, about meditating and being consecrated to a very sorrowful and difficult thing, Christ's Passion, as brides of Christ - not in any way implying that the spiritualities of the other great orders do - but again, the Passionist's particular spirituality goes right to the heart of this. God bless them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
