…….and they also are growing by leaps and bounds. That’s a wonderful problem to have, and yet again proves unequivocally that traditional, orthodox conduct of the religious life is what drives vocations. They are expecting 10 new postulants this fall, and there are constantly women visiting them discerning a vocation. Also, the music is wonderful. All of my family enjoys it greatly.
So they have a new CD coming out for Easter. It is called Easter at Ephesus. There is a brief video below that advertises for the CD a bit, but mostly shows their lives of quiet devotion and piety. Again, you can buy the CD here.
Do keep these devoted and pious nuns in your prayers. I have learned of late a bit of their history, how they had a difficult time finding a location where they could practice their Benedictine charism according to traditional norms, and how they had to move around from place to place for a long time. They have been much supported and welcomed by Bishop Finn in Kansas City, but I think it safe to say that Bishop Finn’s position as ordinary is not terribly secure at this time. He has tried to give the Benedictines of Mary all the canonical rights and certainties he can, but a different bishop, one less disposed to their traditional charism, could make things difficult for them again. So please keep this group of nuns in your prayers, they are one of a handful of traditional women’s orders in this country (there are far more men’s, for some reason), they are obviously growing and reaching many souls, but there remain many in the Church in this country who are not at all well disposed to the blessed and very successful conduct of religious life.
