For the past couple of weeks I’ve been going through the Catholic Nun Blogosphere reporting on what folks are up to. This is my third post trying to cover all of the blogs (previous posts one and two). Enjoy!
- Sister Susan Rose of Musings of a Discerning Woman is preparing for first vows on October 11. She’s also instituted “Margaret Ana Fridays“, quotes from the foundress of her community.
- Have you seen Burn After Reading? Sister Rose has. Check out her movie review of Burn After Reading. I’ve not seen it, but since it is raining heavily in Chicago all day, I’m going to grab a nun and go see it this afternoon.
- The only blogging hermit nun that I know, Sister Laurel, has a new profile picture (nice!) and a post about Douglas John Hall’s Lighten Our Darkness, Towards an Indigenous Theology of the Cross.
- If you’re into fried apples, then check out Sister Diana of Nunbytes “Tidbits” post. She also writes about her experience with the new Windows Chrome browser.
- Sister Sarah is somewhere in Kiribati, an island nation in the Pacific, where she is living, ministering, and in formation as a novice.
- Sister Anne reflects on the Gospel passage about having a speck in one’s eye.
- “Order your banned book here,” writes Sister Lorraine about a Saint Paul book of theirs (Pauline Books and Media) that was banned by a bookstore. Sister Lorraine offers a wonderfully articulate response to the bookstore manager’s reasons for banning the book.
- Sister Sandy notes how frustrating it is to listen to the vitriol in news reports covering the political candidates.
- On her blog Pause for Prayer, Sister Janet reflects on children and adults through a story about her encounter with 7-year-old Georgia on a train.
- Sister Katy shows how creative and graciously hospitable she can be with recycled Dunkin’ Donuts garbage.
- Published poet Sister Anne has two poems in the Fall 2008 issue of Umbrella Journal.
- Sister Christine is working on a workshop about faithful citizenship and welcomes your ideas and suggestions.
- Sister Nicolette offers quotes from the book Direction for Our Times.
- Sister Mary Helga reflects on life a month after First Profession of Vows.
- Adding machine tape can be beautiful, notes a Cenacle Sister.
- As a writer I can so appreciate Sister Marie Paul’s post Reasons to Keep Writing.

Thanks for this! Read a few interesting posts I wouldn’t have found otherwise. (Why, yes, I am procrastinating on packing.)
