They are just social workers who didn't marry. Why would any young girl want this type of life.Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00403184829256955768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5745814378416915364.post-40426613593280013042009-09-24T10:40:37.494-07:002009-09-24T10:40:37.494-07:00At my parish we had a religious sister who worked ...At my parish we had a religious sister who worked as our Director of Religious Education. She did not wear a habit nor live with her community. She lived in an apartment near the parish but periodically did meet and pray with the other sisters in her order who also had similar life and work situations. When she had originally entered the order, they did wear habits and live within community. But all that changed in the 1960s. Observing her, I came to the conclusion that, on the surface, she looked like every other unmarried woman who worked full time. I was uninspired by her "lifestyle," despite the fact that her "job" was to work at a church. She would have done better, perhaps, to have become a member of Opus Dei, which asks some of its members to remain celebate, follow the spirituality established by the founder (St. JoseMaria Escriva), get secular jobs and try to evangelize.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
