SacredHeartGuest: These days, monastic life is rarely spoken of in parishes, at least the ones I’ve attended. Other than a few flyers and the occasional prayer for vocations, we didn’t hear anything at all. I still think it’s valid to have Sisters go to parishes to speak, because otherwise, no one will know what a beautiful life you have. It’s the prayer that attracts me. That and working toward a common goal.

Sister: Thats how I felt — but I got a surprise!

Guest: How were you surprised?

Sister : VIRTUE!

Guest.: Ah, surprised by virtue! Yes, one could not escape growing in virtue, which is really the point.

Guest.: It’s amazing to be able to chat online with a monastic person!

Sister : It is unusual! I will be available every Sunday evening unless I am in retreat, etc. It is our free night here.
