Semi- Contemplative Sisters

[VeniteAdoremus]

Yay, another excuse to plug "my" community

Apostolic sisters who pray the Office of Readings, Morning Prayer, Angelus, Midday Prayer, Rosary, Evening Prayer and Compline in common, with half an hour of meditation and half an hour of Adoration [i]every day[/i] for good measure.

All Dominicans are active/contemplative in spirit, with the nuns weaving their preaching through living their monastic lives and praying for the other branches, and the apostolic sisters and friars by "sharing the fruits of their contemplation"... which implies there was some contemplation beforehand The amount to which this is done in community differs from house to house, though.

Also, the Franciscan Sisters Minor (Capuchins) in Massachusetts, They have +/- 7-8 hours of
prayer a day, but also have some hours of active mission. (Google them under that name).
Then, there are the Sisters of the Society of Our Mother of Peace, in Missouri & in a couple of
other countries. They live in hermitages & have many hours of prayer; but almost everyday,
they do one-on-one contact w/non-Catholics while visiting door-to-door (+/-) 3 hours mission.

Sorry I mispelled Brigittines, they don't seem to have a website, but it is an awesome property and house, with retreat center. They sang quite a bit of Latin when I was there

Well, they are only in Switzerland and France, but they are habited, their life is contemplative with one apostolate-exception, and they are not enclosed.

[Domine ut Videam]

The apostolic sisters of the Community of St. John have a very large contemplative focus in addition to an active apostolate.

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL order! Thank you so much for posting, I'm going to read up on them. I love all the photos on their site and their apostolate, just beautiful. This is the first I've heard of the order. I have seen Fr. Antoine on EWTN working with the children.

Thank you again.

"We are not a cloistered community, we are contemplative, but very active. We get between 3-5 hours of prayer each day, but serving Our Lord Jesus Christ in our different apostolates keep us very busy - in the world, but not of the world. "
