I will forever give praise and credit for raising, educating and directing my mind, body and soul to our God. I hope to be as dedicated to good works, love, and praise as my good nuns. They were a beacon, in an unhappy family life, inspiring me to reach and grow. I’m am 76 now so my nuns with halos were of the 1950’s and 60’s. Nuns are a gift from God. Thank you kind and gentle women.
No young person is going to join a religious order on the path to extinction. Just look where all the vocations are going- traditional orders wearing habits faithful to their charism. Vat II didn’t recommended getting rid of the habit, just modify those that were over the top. Take a look at Nashville Dominicans or Sisters of Life. No problems there!
One of my aunts was a nun, but I don't know what order she belonged to, and after Vatican II, her order did away with wearing habits. Not long after that, she left the convent, breaking her final vows. For a long time she's been against the traditional Latin Mass , which was the Mass prior to the changes of the Second Vatican Council, and her "husband" used to be a priest but left the priesthood after Vatican II. Once a priest always a priest and I don't care what Vatican II says.
Ditto on Donna's post! The Nuns who taught me were from the Brooklyn NY Chapter. They branched out from there to my parish, St. Augustines in Providence RI. So influential were they in my life, that I say a prayer of thanks and call each of the 17 of them by name during morning prayer. God Bless all of the Sisters of St. Ursula, both living and deceased.
6:14 - Total self-giving. The habit reflects total self giving. Wanting to be unrecognizable as sisters/nuns shows a “hanging-on” to secular ways. If wearing ordinary street clothes is a way to attract young women, where are they? The orders that seem to be growing are those that wear the habit. But, go your own way. God bless you all!
Ursuline Sisters taught me during my fourth and fifth grades at St Joseph’s Catholic Elementary School Avon Lake, OH. Thank you. So influential to me to joining Secular Franciscan Order and now teaching 6th 7th and 8th Grade Catholic Religion after retiring from 45 years in commercial business. Peace and joy thru Him!
Had they kept the habit and old ways, they would have lots of vocations. Traditional orders are booming. Also, why are you calling your founder by her first name? That's disrespectful!
Exactly. I could only watch this until 4:55 - that lady 'slurping' from the sacred Chalice made me feel sick! Someone needs to start the Ursulines up again under their original Rule and Habit.
My great-aunt was that ursulines in Peru for a while. She retired and I think passed away probably in the 1980s. Her name was Elizabeth Smith, sister Xavier
If they continue to follow the constitution of their order and also continue to wear their original habit, they regain hundreds of vocations. Misinterpretation of the Second Vatican Council is really a virus.
What happened after Vatican II? From that point in the video, the number of Sisters seems to dwindle to only a few. Vocations seems to have fallen off a cliff. Pray for the One True Catholic and Apostolic Faith. No more of the modernist attitude! Salve Maria!
It is so telling that Joan Chittister is brought onboard by the Ursulines in this video. She has said the following: "...To close ourselves off from the wisdom of the world around us in the name of God is a kind of spiritual arrogance.." "...The sin of religion is to pronounce every other religion empty and unknowing, deficient and unblessed. ..." Well it sounds like that to her, the Catholic church is the one needing to be evangelized. Chittister's stances on contraception and women's ordination contradict the official teachings of the Catholic Church. She was prohibited by Church authorities from attending the first Women's Ordination Worldwide conference on June 30, 2001. She not only attended, but gave the opening address. Chittister also rejected the Church's rulings against the 23 nuns who ran an advertisement in the New York Times attacking the Church's teaching on abortion. Don't try to find Roman Catholicism in this bunch.
Lack of wearing habits in all the orders has contributed to their decline. The habits solicit respect and allow recognition of who’s who. Vatican II and now Pope Francis have weakened the Catholic Church. It is very sad.

Dear Sisters, why not reconsider returning to wearing your Religious garb or Habit
In these days might it not spur attacks of violence? For safety reasons I have reservations. I do love the habit though.

@@ardavo Those orders who have devoted themselves to the traditional habit and follow the way of their foundresses are growing. Others are dying away.
They were very fine educators. It was a very strict order but after Vatican II they threw the baby out with the bath water.

too bad they went secular and slated themselves to extinction.

St. Angela must be disappointed especially with Joan Chichester speaking about her (Ursulines) order. Doesn’t get much worse.

Jesus Christ’s Love in action. Thank you each.
Well, you had me right up until the Vatican II propaganda...no thanks, I'm out and unsubscribed.
Vatican II undone the church

Another order that lost it's way.
With this horrible noise with this background noise , I dropped this channel .
