The novena for the Immaculate Conception.
The novena for the Immaculate Conception begins today. Any prayer may be used. Since Our Lady is so pleased with the Rosary, I will use that. I’m praying for all of you, all of my family, and the mentally ill, the addicted, and those who hate the Church, as well as the most abandoned and those who have no one to pray for them.
The Monastic Community of Bethlehem.
The photo above is of two Sisters of Bethlehem. They wear a veil beneath the cowl, but adopted the male Carthusian habit. Their life is very Carthusian, each professed nun has her own hermitage wherein the Blessed Sacrament is reserved. Their monastic observance pretty much combines both East and West, while the Mass is a very reverent Novus Ordo. To find anything on the internet about the community is very difficult, but go here to learn more about them. (For Kat - In addition to foundations all over Europe, they also have one in the United States.)
