Consecrated widowhood
Posted by Sr Eleanor on May 17, 2008
Over at “A Nun’s Life“, Sr Julie has posted about an address of Pope Benedict to consecrated virgins who are meeting in Rome at present.
Another vocation in the church, with a rather similar spirituality, is that of consecrated widowhood. A few years ago I published an article on this topic in Spirituality, and now I am adding it to a new page on this site (permission from the editor of Spirituality pending).

Dear Sr. Eleanor,
A belated “thank you” for your kind comment on my blog! (Every little bit of encouragement helps.

I know that the Carthusians, as well as several branches of the Benedictine family, make the Rite of Consecration to a Life of Virginity an option for their solemnly professed nuns. I was wondering, is this also true for Cistercians?
