I entered this monastery to see if I had a vocation. The thing that sticks with me the most about it is the charity I experienced there...I was like "This is what a family is suppose to be like" I can't even really describe it in words.<br />It turned out not to be my vocation, but part of me will always be there.Fireflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02314171642623917115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-27039108871917702732009-11-08T16:46:43.046-08:002009-11-08T16:46:43.046-08:00Dear everyone, with regret I have to tell you that...Dear everyone, with regret I have to tell you that the "Sisters of Carmel" of Colorado Springs are not Carmelite nuns, however much they may look like Carmelite nuns and live an austere enclosed life. They, along with a male order of priests called "Servants of the Holy Family," reject Vatican II and they are in schism from their local Bishop and from the Pope.

These women, doubtless sincere Christians who doubtless love the Teresian Carmelite way, need our prayers.Elizabeth Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888400643867182872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-58601938792053705262009-02-04T18:27:00.000-08:002009-02-04T18:27:00.000-08:00V - Those pictures are beautiful.

I'm still discerning becoming a third-order Carmelite (you have to go to classes for at least a year before they let you consider the Carmelites--then another seven years before you become a third-order Carmelite). I've been discerning for only about seven months. I'm surprised they are still letting me go, I keep waiting for them to say, "Tara, what are you thinking--go home." But so far, they let me keep coming back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-53342336463258647492009-02-04T10:27:00.000-08:002009-02-04T10:27:00.000-08:00"I will share them with our 15 year old daughter w...<I>"I will share them with our 15 year old daughter who want's to be a nun."</I><BR/><BR/>Cool!<BR/>The sisters make custom rosaries too (how I discovered their site):<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.sistersofcarmel.com/rosarymenu.php" REL="nofollow">http://www.sistersofcarmel.com/rosarymenu.php</A>Vincenzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204262882202051257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3147998851717628040.post-47018366964459075392009-02-04T10:07:00.000-08:002009-02-04T10:07:00.000-08:00Vince these photos are beautiful, just beautiful! ...Vince these photos are beautiful, just beautiful!
