Community Life

Yesterday’s post on the question Is the habit the answer to vocations recruitment? drew a lot of discussion and perspectives. I want to pull out of there an interesting sub-conversation about what it means to be counter-cultural.

The question about the habit being the answer to vocations recruitment comes up every now and again on the blog in various forms. It’s an interesting question that is way more complex than a simple “yes” or “no” can account for.

Happy Nunday! Today’s nun photo is of Sister Aneesah McNamee, OP, an Adrian Dominican from Adrian, Michigan. Adrian is just down the river from Monroe and the IHM Motherhouse, and our sisters have worked together on many occasions.

Sisterhood among Catholic sisters and nuns is a powerful, Spirit-filled experience. I’ve been thinking a lot about sisterhood after having been home at the IHM Motherhouse for a couple of days. I was with a group of sisters doing some planning for our community’s retreat/celebration days this summer.

Today’s Nunday photo comes from the Oblate Sisters of Providence of Baltimore, Maryland.
