What good can you say about “sisters” who don’t even wear a habit? Put some skin in the game! Young women today want to wear the habit, and these communities will eventually die out.
@fotisvon9943 They have their own room, called a cell. Desk. Window. Small closet. Bed. Nightstand. You share a dormitory community bathroom and shower though.
The individual SOUL is the most important matter. The One True Church must return to Traditional teachings. And while providing for temporal needs has always been part of the Catholic Church the Catechism and proper formation of the Flock has been negligently abandoned by the marxist infiltrators. Our Blessed Mother Mary warned us about this in Fatima (Errors of Russian communism), Garabandal, Akita and several hundred years ago in Ecuador as our Lady of Good Success. Although the Church currently lives thru its own passion and is suffering the gates of hell will never reign. MATER DEI ORA PRO NOBIS.
Praise God for your commitment to the Lord! My prayers for you. Please pray for our country so we can keep our freedoms and President Trump. Thank you!
Thomas Merton tried to blend Buddhism with Christianity later in life, like many New Age Christians do. Don't be like Him gentleman! Follow and be faithful to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and to nothing or no one else at all. We don't follow, and aren't saved by, a philosophy or philosophies but rather by the one and only personal and Triune living God.
May they and all religious orders return to the Traditional Latin Mass (and the traditional Rites of their orders) along with traditional fasting and abstinence which always underscored the work of those in monasteries.
It’s nice to hear you talk about nature and the seasons. I have struggled with my own beliefs for years God or Gods , Christian or pagan (the earth the seasons the stars etc) it’s nice to see how you can be devoted to god and embrace the season
I was taught be your community when it was “St Mary of the Springs”. I have so many precious memories and I am very grateful for the gift of your presence in my life when I lived in Steubenville many years ago.
The Vatican 2 documents explained : Without understanding the following you will never be able to understand the documents. I will list here, what the documents consist of, by name and by title. But you will never find the list of these names inside the documents this is deliberate. For the purpose of concealment. But what you will find in every paragraph of every page the “definition” of the terms listed. Therefore the Vatican two documents consist of “definition” only: 1) Indifferentism 2) Syncretism and Synthesis 3) Immanent 4) Transcendentalism 5) Individualism 6) Existentialism, naturalism 7) Stoicism 8) Pantheism 9) Evolution 10) The Sciences such as historian sociology psychology critic… If you look up Saint Pope Pius 10 Encyclical “ Pascendi Dominici Gregis” you will find he new about Vatican 2 and wrote a detailed comprehensive explanation of Vatican 2, listing in detail more than half of the items above listed, and he even explains, in example, how it is meant to diminish Jesus Christ and the one true church and desecrate all seven sacraments and to leave the door open for more of modernism and Progressive changes in the future. He is not alone !!! Pius 10 on the Errors of Modernism, Pius 9 his Syllabus of Errors and Pope Gregory 16 in his Encyclical “Mirari Vos” see #19 on the waldensians,the Beghards,the Wycliffites, and all the popes condemned the documents of Vatican 2 and the Synod of Pistoia and warned the faithful with excommunication, anathema if you don't reject the Vatican two documents, and church, and embrace the one true traditional Catholic Church, the depository of faith, before the end of your life. As you examine these terms and then read the Vatican two documents you can clearly see the “definition” of all the above listed terms, but not the terms themselves, and the evil,and that it is no longer Catholic but a new religion that will lead you straight to hell !!! Then what are we to do you ask ? If you are a true Traditional Catholic then you are supposed to do what the Blessed Virgin Mary told us to do in these evil times, that she described at Fatima, in the third Secret. Not the fake phony Third Secret that John Paul II falsified and Rewritten, along with the fake Lucia !!! But the real true Third Secret of Fatima. You are also to do what the Blessed Virgin Mary told us to do at La Salette, France and again at Our Lady of Good Success, who described in great detail what is to happen to the Catholic church at the end of the 20th century and she was 100% right !!! What do we do then ? what did she say to do ? She said to say the Traditional Rosary, not the rosary of John Paul II, the Traditional Rosary 15 decades everyday or 5 decades on Monday, 5 decades on Tuesday, and 5 decades, on Wednesday. Since the Mass is the greatest prayer of all !!! you get the Saint Andrews missile (and no other missile) but the St Andrews missile, and you say Mass every Sunday (you're not able to consecrate) but you can still say the prayers of the Mass !!! From only the Saint Andrew's missile. You can say the rosary, the Seven Sorrows of Mary, the Stations of the Cross, all at home. Have nothing to do with today's fake Catholic Church!!! NOTHING !!! It will be a mortal sin and send you straight to hell. You say your prayers at home, you stay at home, and you say your prayers at home, the Traditional prayers of the church and you say them every day. You read the Bible the Catholic Bibleand no other since all other Bibles have been Rewritten with attacks againt Mary !!! and study the lives of the Saints of the church, and stay away from newly written or revised books on the market today !!! Don't buy any books on the market after 1960 !!!! What about confession and all that ? You confess your sins to God the Father, Son and Holy Ghost using the prayers in the St Andrews missile, in the confessional which is in the back of the book, or you say one of the seven penitential Psalms along with the act of contrition. That's your confession, at home where you are safe both in body and soul !! For baptism you do the same at home with the proper, Matter, Form and Intent !!! But whatever you do have nothing to do with the Vatican 2 Church even if it's empty do not go in it !!! P.S.- the Most Holy Family Monastery is a good resource me and my colleagues have kept a close eye on them for over 20 years I highly recommend them.
