Carmelite Hermit Nuns Starting Up in Ireland (II)
Victim Adorers of the Holy Face of Jesus O.C.D.
On December 2, we reported on the foundation of a new Carmelite hermitage in Ireland, called the Victim Adorers of the Holy Face of Jesus, O.C.D., by Sr. Irene (Prioress).
Please see this article for more details: http://sodalitium-pianum.blogspot.com/2016/12/victim-adorers-of-holy-face-of-jesus-odc.html
Today, I received news that things are progressing for the Victim Adorers, and have some pictures to share:
Fr. Giacomo Ballini (Prior of the nearby St. Finbar Chapel) recently visited the Victim Adorers for the blessing and vestition of the Carmelite habit:
The following pictures were taken during the all night adoration on the Vigil of the Immaculate Conception (December 7-8):
(“Meditating day and night on the law of the Lord and being vigilant in prayers”)
(Marking time without electricity or watches)
(Notice the belt? From the Rule: “Your loins are to be girded with the belt of chastity”)
(The ring: Adorned by all professed nuns, symbolizing they are the true spouses of Jesus Christ)
(Adoration of the Holy Face of Jesus)
(All Night Adoration)
As mentioned previously, a website for the Victim Adorers is currently under construction.
Meanwhile, donations may be sent to their PayPay address: [email protected]
