Hello there - stop worrying! I am so sorry but I just havenāt had time to get online and post for awhile. We are right in the middle of renovations to the convent - with a wonderful army of volunteers helping out with painting and cleaning. We had a wonderful professional painter come from interstate to help out, and he organized everyone beautifully and taught us how to do it all! He saved the chapel painting for himself (and he deserved this honor) - and he did such a beautiful job. The walls are a gorgeous light blue now and they show off the stained glass windows so beautifully. He mounted the crucifix on the wall - and when we walk into the chapel now - even though the floors havenāt been done yet - it feels so much like a chapel!! We have been very blessed with the charity and kindness of so many people.Nunsense, where are you?
I keep checking back to this thread for an update and you are nowhere to be seen.
Jesus, I trust in you!
Jesus, I trust in you!
Jesus, I trust in you!
I will keep saying this prayer so I donāt start worrying. :coffeeread:
Thanks for taking the time during your busy schedule to give us an update. I am looking forward to your web site and newsletter.-]/-]
I am currently working on the website, with another sister doing the newsletter, but we havenāt had much time for these either, with all the renovations that need to be done before the live-in visits start!! So please pray us on and ask God to send more workers for the harvest
In His love

Rosalind alert for tomorrow! Catholic Answers Live radio show can be heard off this site if you do not have Catholic radio in your area. Ros is scheduled for the 4:00 to 5:00 pacific time show tomorrow. Speaking of the Catholic Answers Live radio show.....yesterday was an exceptional show. Sharon Lee Giganti, a former New Ager promoter of "The Secret" and "Course in Miracles" was on the full two hours yesterday. She had been on the show on July 4 and was so full of information about the dangers of the New Age that she was brought back. I highly recommend listening to all her interviews. You can hear them by going to the Catholic Answers schedule and clicking on the show. She tells some pretty frightening truths about Oprah's New Age beliefs. :eek:

Two nights ago we attended the start of a Novena for Our Lady of Mt Carmel at the OCD Carmel here in St Louis. Bishop Hermann celebrated Mass outside in the gardens and it was a lovely evening with so many people there. Then yesterday morning we went to the Tridentine High Mass at the St Francis de Sales Oratory and it was heaven on earth!! After Mass, a brand new priest was giving out first blessings, and we were able to receive a blessing and kiss his hands - God is so good.
I am currently contacting women who have applied for entry for September this year. All those who are interested in joining after September, will be contacted later, when I have more time. They will be asked to come for a live-in visit sometime next year. The applicants for this year will be coming for their live-in in August, so there isnāt much time to arrange everything. We have six sisters right now, with another two pretty definite, and then about half a dozen who will likely visit in August with hopes of entering in September. It is a very exciting time, but also very busy, so not a lot of time to chat online these days. I will try to check back in from time to time though.

Dear Forum Members: This was on St. Louis Blog yesterday. We need to pray for more volunteersā¦storm Heaven.
Dear St Joseph, the loving spouse of Mary, please send your workers to help prepare the new home for the āDaughters of Maryā. As the patron saint of workers I am sure you can get the word out that workers are needed. Please inspire some high school girls from the nearby Catholic high school to ask their principal if they could do the volunteer work as part of their requirement for school. If we could expose high school aged girls to the love and positive attitudes of the new sisters we ājust mightā put the idea into their heads that the life of a nun/sister is a joyous life!
St Joseph, this convent will be in honor of your loving spouse. I am sure you would want everything to run smoothly. Thanks
Ditto! :coffeeread: Even the little yellow face is searching for news.
Our prayers are still with you Nunsense and Ros! I hope everything will be ready for Archbishop Burke to bless before he heads for Rome. We are expecting picturesā¦even pictures of the progress would be great!Praise+Jesus
I have been on retreat for the past two weeks so havenāt been able to get online. For very personal reasons, I am no longer with Rosalindās community, although I pray for them every day and ask God to bless them with vocations and benefactors.
I am now starting a three month live-in as a hermit, which is what I actually intended to do when I left Carmel in March. I feel very blessed and honored to have been with Rosalind at the beginning of her apostolate, as she is a charismatic and inspired leader who sincerely wants to serve God as an evangelist. I know that God is calling me along a different path however - the way of desert spirituality. I feel a great peace at my choice and have had Rosalindās full support in making this decision.
Please email Rosalind directly using rosalindmoss@gmail.com for any enquiries about her community. I will not have phone, email or online access during my three month live-in but feel free to send me your prayers via your guardian angels!
May Godās peace be upon you all in the heart of our blessed Savior, Jesus.
ā¦Second all motions!..Alleluia Amen! May The Lord richly bless you in your vocation Nunsenseā¦but I am going to miss your posts and hope that someone else āin the knowā will soon take overā¦I have noted the new coming website link for the new communityā¦
I donāt know whether to be happy for you or sad at our loss! This must be what it feels like to have had a special sweetheart and then hear that he/she has decided to enter the religious life. Is it okay if I cry? :crying:
Now that I was able to cry for my selfish loss of your excellent reporting I will congratulate you for finding the religious life that you had always wanted. You are a very special person and I feel honored that I and all the others were able to get to know you via Catholic Answers. You have kept this thread entertaining and very informative. It wonāt be the same without you. I hope someone who lives near St Louis will pick up the ball and keep us up to date regularly. We canāt just end this thread until the Archbishop blesses the convent.
