Perpetual Advent Nuns -- Romite Battistines, Italy

[Cloisters]

This community is indigenous to Italy. They are in need of vocations, so even if one is not called there, please lend the charity of vocational prayers – response and perseverance, both.

Here is last year’s post I made regarding the Romite Battistines:

The nuns of perpetual Advent -- the Romite Battistine, Italy Vocations

This cloistered congregation is very indigenous to Italy. They have not expanded past the original two monasteries, and may actually be down to one now. Their life is based on the revelations to their mystically-inclined foundress regarding St. John the Baptist – make straight the path of the Lord. The first link under the nun’s picture has an Italian-language pdf. The modern habit is shown near the end. http://www.atma-o-jibon.org/italiano4/romite2.htm Blessings, Mrs Cloisters OP Lay Do…
