Tenor of the Times and Why the Religious Habit Matters


"Hence the more ardently they unite themselves to Christ through a self-surrender involving their entire lives, the more vigorous becomes the life of the Church and the more abundantly Her apostolate bears fruit.  A life consecrated by a profession of the counsels is of surpassing value.  Such a life has a necessary role to play in the circumstances of the present age."

-Perfectae Caritatis, 1.

  1. Beautiful habit. I assume this rather young nun belongs either to a Cistercian monastery, or to the 2-3 active Cisterican congregations of nuns in Italy.

    But of course, she may not be a Cistercian nun either.
