So how another nun lives her day is going to look different from my community.

Thanks for writing. Here are some posts where I talk about what a day is like for a nun.

A Day in the Life of Sister Julie
Thoughts on Prayer

There are many different kinds of Catholic nuns and each community has a different charism (gift from the Holy Spirit that inspires a community to live and minister in a particular way). So how another nun lives her day is going to look different from my community.

Also check out the posts that I write under the category Random Writing. Here you’ll find all kinds of interesting things I’ve written about my life, being a nun, and whatever else occurs to me!

Blessings on your project. I’d love to see a copy of your project when you are done. If you have any other questions, please let me know.

Too often (I think) we choose to 'give up' what is comforting without appreciating that comfort. Nothing like being hungry for a day to add that appreciation for not HAVING to be hungry. My Gentleman has a great tradition of paying for the person behind him in a drive-through restaurant - and then he speeds (safely) away so that they can't find out who he is... only part of the reason I love him :-) I think that it is joyous that you are so excited about your tradition. One would assume that someone who has dedicated her life to a particular tradition would enjoy the rituals it brings, but we all know that this is not necessarily true. Blessings through your season of spiritual housecleaning!
