Visitation Sr (Guest): What is the purpose of religious life? Is it simply a safe haven for people who want to escape the world and have an “easier” way to obtain holiness? Or is it something else?How do we find the balance of having, what St. Francis calls, a “mistrust of your own powers” and confidently participating in God’s grace in order for Him to do good things through us?In relation to this, reflect on these words from St. Paul: “No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.

and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).
Religious life highlights the virtue of obedience and how liberating it can be. How in the world can the devil manipulate this in order to enslave/control people?
How can we ensure we have enough “oil for our lamps”?

Visitation Sr (Guest): What is the purpose of religious life? Is it simply a safe haven for people who want to escape the world and have an “easier” way to obtain holiness?
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Good evening
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Simone (Guest): I am so curious what you have to say to the first question Sister
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Simone (Guest): Hi Anna- Marie
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Hello Anna-Marie
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Carol (Guest): Hi Anna-Marie
Jul 24, 7:25 PM
Lisa C (Guest): I think the Catechism answers that…know Him, love Him, serve Him
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Lisa C (Guest): But isn’t that the purpose of anything, not just religious life
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Firstly religious life is a response to a call from God and a total consecration to God.
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Simone (Guest): But Lisa – isn’t that the bandage for me as a Lay woman too?
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): God is not asking us to escape but to pray and serve His people and become His Spouses
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Simone (Guest): can you explain “total consecration” Sister?
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Lisa C (Guest): yes Simone
Jul 24, 7:26 PM
Carol (Guest): It is a leaven for the world
7 PM
Simone (Guest): Does that mean – no other person – no other task is between my time with GOD
Jul 24, 7:27 PM
Simone (Guest): ?
Jul 24, 7:28 PM
Lisa C (Guest): knowing Him, loving Him, serving Him
Jul 24, 7:28 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): St Frances cited 2 reasons -prayers spiritual warfare against the world, the flesh and the devil and the other charitable works
Jul 24, 7:28 PM
Simone (Guest): Sr. I also do not think that religious life is an escape – and if people would use it for that – I think the disappointment would be very great

Carol (Guest): Our prayers do matter even if it doesn’t seem like itPM
Simone (Guest): would it be right to say – that religious life is to better the world through prayer?
Jul 24, 7:31 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Todays Gospel affirmed all prayers are heard and answered we need persistence
Jul 24, 7:31 PM

Jul 24, 7:32 PM
Lisa C (Guest): what is a horarium
Jul 24, 7:32 PM
Simone (Guest): I agree Ruth .. and yet – I do think, that our prayers can clear the atmosphere in the invisible world – and indirectly change things in the visible world
Jul 24, 7:32 PM
Carol (Guest): Alone together in community
Jul 24, 7:33 PM
Ruth (Guest): Hi everyone, nice rhar we have a nearly full house tonight.
Jul 24, 7:33 PM

Visitation Sr (Guest): i repeat it What is the purpose of religious life? Is it simply a safe haven for people who want to escape the world and have an “easier” way to obtain holiness
Jul 24, 7:35 PM
Carol (Guest): Religious life in an order is a unique calling from God
l 24, 7:35 PM
Simone (Guest): It sure is 7:36 PM
Carol (Guest): You cannot escape the world, you will just bring it in with you
Jul 24, 7:36 PM
Simone (Guest): good point Carol
Jul 24, 7:36 PM

Carol (Guest): Yes, Lisa, a hermitage in the heart’
Jul 24, 7:37 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): still here and quiet these few days
24, 7:38 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Practicing virtues, especially the difficult ones, prayer and charity, is asked inside or outside congregation. As you say a calling to do above in community? 8 PM
Simone (Guest): I love to “retreat” into the hermitage of my heart during the day sometimes. It is the centre of my life
Jul 24, 7:38 PM
Patti (Guest): To love and serve God single heartedly?
Jul 24, 7:38 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): yes a communtiy often comes with a specific spirituality a way of living the Gospel and all there try to live the same spirituality
Jul 24, 7:38 PM
Carol (Guest): Yes,
Jul 24, 7:39 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): That might not be the case for spioitual friends in a parish- one might be drawn to be a lay Franciscan, another Carmelite, another???
Jul 24, 7:39 PM
Lisa C (Guest): I think Salesian spirituality is very sweet and kind
:40 PM
Simone (Guest): I talked to two priests recently – and both found it confusing, that I was using the word “spirituality” .. like Salesian or Carmelite spirituality – they said.. it is all one.. and I said ” well.. I guess I disagree”
Jul 24, 7:40 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): yes that is what we strive for in Salesian spirituality
Jul 24, 7:40 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): diocesan priests not religious ones I assume It is a charism one is given by the Spirit- the founders usually
Jul 24, 7:40 PM

Jul 24, 7:41 PM
Carol (Guest): For Fransiscans it is a balance between contemplation and action
4, 7:41 PM
Lisa C (Guest): I noticed that back when my class graduated we were very quiet and timid and not ready for the world. We were treated so gently. 1 PM
Patti (Guest): I find myself moved to years studying Salesian spirituality.
Jul 24, 7:41 PM
Simone (Guest): yes – diocesan priests.. and I like them both – and honour them as Spiritual Fathers a lot – but they cannot seem to understand that one would be drawn to a specific Spirituality.
Jul 24, 7:41 PM
Ruth (Guest): oI wonder how that works, Sister, since I find that at various times in my life various patterns of spirital/prayer and study practice take precedence
Jul 24, 7:42 PM
Lisa C (Guest): The world was waiting to take advantage of us and could do it easily
Jul 24, 7:42 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Probably beacuse of the nuns today it probably is abit differnt tho the lay teachers do try to live the spirituality
Jul 24, 7:42 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Different charisms in different orders?

Simone (Guest): good one Sister
PM
Simone (Guest): Yes, Anna- Marie – that sounds actually quite Salesian – the way you worded it
Jul 24, 7:45 PM
Carol (Guest): Maybe they mean we are all parts of one whole church?
Jul 24, 7:45 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): q How do we find the balance of having, what St. Francis calls, a “mistrust of your own powers” and confidently participating in God’s grace in order for Him to do good things through us
l 24, 7:45 PM
Lisa C (Guest): by faith 7:45 PM
Simone (Guest): I am so in the midst of this very question right now. I would love to hear all your answers
Jul 24, 7:45 PM
Lisa C (Guest): faith in God and willingness to accept His will
4, 7:46 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Simplicity and humility , 7:46 PM
Carol (Guest): Everything starts with solitude and contemplation where we are nourished for the work
Jul 24, 7:46 PM
Simone (Guest): but – how do you know if something – for example a ministry – is not founded in your own will – but truly in God’s will? It is so easy theoretically – but when something is birthed – it can be quite daunting I find
4, 7:47 PM
Lisa C (Guest): I think even if we try to use our own power if we trust God he diverts things to His will and we find it is better in the end :47 PM
Simone (Guest): good reminder Lisa – that there can be corrections on the way 7 PM
Lisa C (Guest): We just have to keep praying when we make a choice that it is what God wants
Jul 24, 7:47 PM
Carol (Guest): It is discernment Simone, and a good director can help you sort it out
Jul 24, 7:47 PM
Lisa C (Guest): Ask God to show us if it is not
Jul 24, 7:48 PM
Simone (Guest): I simply thought – that The Lord has given me the desire for over two years – there must be a time – where you stop asking ” Is this your will” and start ” acting on it”
48 PM
Simone (Guest): I am privileged to work with a great director. It is the voice in me – that distracts me – and keeps me back a lot
Jul 24, 7:48 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): step by step it is revealed, so take a step and see what Providence allows
7:49 PM
Lisa C (Guest): Look at what you think, does it line up with what God says and wants, loving people
Jul 24, 7:49 PM
Carol (Guest): Each step is provided in the moment
Jul 24, 7:49 PM
Simone (Guest): thank you Sister.. good reminder – step by step..
PM
Lisa C (Guest): I think if you keep praying about everything God will step in
Jul 24, 7:49 PM
Patti (Guest): Calm acceptance of each present moment including possible outcomes?
Jul 24, 7:49 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): St Frances write book ‘ Living in Divine Will’. I learned that one way to know if in divine will is to be at peace with a decision or action after seeking God’s will
49 PM
Ruth (Guest): Good advice,Sister.
Jul 24, 7:50 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): yes Patti I think so

and he will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Ruth (Guest): Yes, Patti.
2 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Words of comfort
Jul 24, 7:52 PM
Carol (Guest): This is such a comforting passage
Jul 24, 7:52 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Sometimes the temptation is to think over and over about something without deciding
7:53 PM
Simone (Guest): I so agree
Jul 24, 7:53 PM
Lisa C (Guest): the way of escape should come from your conscience if it is well formed
:53 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Fear is the opposite of love
Jul 24, 7:53 PM
Lisa C (Guest): Your conscience will tell you no
Jul 24, 7:53 PM
Carol (Guest): Me too, Sister
4, 7:53 PM
Simone (Guest): we often call it discernment – but it actually is disobedience to believe GOD what He has shown:54 PM
Ruth (Guest): Maybe one of the reasons we refer to a spiritual JOURNEY is that it is often while we are in action that God’s Spirit works on us with course correction as necessary.
Jul 24, 7:54 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): good point!

Lisa C (Guest): I think Blessed Mother also works on us
Jul 24, 7:55 PM
Lisa C (Guest): She sends Grace
Jul 24, 7:55 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): and well formed conscience is a key thought

Jul 24, 7:59 PM
Simone (Guest): yes Carol – agree
Jul 24, 7:59 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Not having to decide for oneself in an adult healthy way because you believe truly the Superior speaks for God Himself is very liberating becaUSE you know for sure what He wants
Jul 24, 8:00 PM
Simone (Guest): I cannot speak for Sister – but Anna-Marie – I would think that a well formed conscience recognizes – when the light of its groom ( and source) becomes dimmer – and then it is time to look – if we are on the right path
Jul 24, 8:00 PM
Lisa C (Guest): But what if the superior does not speak for God at times?
Jul 24, 8:00 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): a well formed concience thinks with the truth vs what one;s own conscience might just make up
PM
Carol (Guest): Do many orders have the superior talk with the person in question to get their input before requesting obedience?
Jul 24, 8:01 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Thank you🙏
Jul 24, 8:02 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): that is the danger but one’s spirit will be discomforted and as long as the command is not sinful then it might be a matter of indifference because God straightens things out providentailly very often
Jul 24, 8:02 PM
Lisa C (Guest): Yes, Mother in the end He will
Jul 24, 8:02 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Carol not in the past but today yes very often
3 PM
Ruth (Guest): I remember the examples of “holy obedience” that were given on time when I was considering a religious community during college days certainly seemed to me to be sick, abusive. My parents did not want me to be a nun and one time my father decided, “I’ll get you over this, and took me to a weekend fora i terested ypung wome . It worked!
Jul 24, 8:03 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): The superior has to have a very fine tuned conscience
Jul 24, 8:03 PM
Carol (Guest): Then if it is good for the person spiritually they understand what they have been asked to do
04 PM
Lisa C (Guest): That happened to St. Margaret Mary, her superior was not telling her to do God’s will, but God was ok with it for a time
Jul 24, 8:04 PM
Simone (Guest): Ruth – do you mean – when you saw the monastery – that your interest left you?
:05 PM
Lisa C (Guest): Edith Stein was not allowed to do her writing for a long time until her superior let her 8:06 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): God loves obedience , true humility
Jul 24, 8:06 PM
Simone (Guest): I know a nun – who is mightily suffering under her superior. She never ever speaks ill of her – but she is basically shunned from all meaningful work – and is just allowed to clean – and she is a full trained teacher – and the charism of the order is teaching. I admire the attitude of this nun – She does not complain – but you can tell how hard it is for her to be set aside like this
Jul 24, 8:06 PM
Carol (Guest): I was asked to stop writing to focus on formation
Jul 24, 8:06 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): Both sides are often tested
8:06 PM
Simone (Guest): I can imagine – that it is very hard to be a superior. Like all form of leadership always is. 8:07 PM
Lisa C (Guest): St. John of the Cross was thrown in prison for trying to reform the order
Jul 24, 8:07 PM
Simone (Guest): What kind of writing did you stop Carol?
Jul 24, 8:07 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): especially when there are “special” people, mystics in community and the Superior has an ordinary spirituality takes alot of trust and love to walk with each other
8 PM
Simone (Guest): yes, I can see that this is difficult
Jul 24, 8:08 PM
Simone (Guest): but wasn’t this the case with St. Mary too?
Jul 24, 8:08 PM
Anna-Marie (Guest): Takes a lot of love
Jul 24, 8:08 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): St Margaret mary- yes
PM
Simone (Guest): oh sorry. St. Margaret… yes
Jul 24, 8:09 PM
Carol (Guest): I have done devotional blog posts and am in a book of essays. I even got quoted in someone’s PhD at Emory
8:09 PM
Simone (Guest): Did you get back to writing by now?
Jul 24, 8:09 PM
Carol (Guest): St Faustinas story comes to mind
Jul 24, 8:09 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): at some point you probably will be asked to resume
:10 PM
Carol (Guest): I am almost finished with formation work , 8:11 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): so obedience can also be twisted by the influence of the evil one, as has happened at times 8:11 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): q How can we ensure we have enough “oil for our lamps”? 8:11 PM
Dawn (Guest): Sr Could you give an example?
Jul 24, 8:12 PM

13 PM

Visitation Sr (Guest): the horrible abuse situations we have heard aout with leaders, spiritual directors etc
Jul 24, 8:14 PM
Dawn (Guest): how this could influence…so obedience can also be twisted by the influence of the evil one, as has happened at times
Jul 24, 8:14 PM
Dawn (Guest): oh yes. ok thank you
Jul 24, 8:14 PM
Visitation Sr (Guest): can’t name a specific case at the moment but there are charismatic religious leaders who have abused membership
