Happy Couple!

Has anyone read "An Infinity of Little Hours" by Nancy Klein Maguire? It is about the lives of a group of Novice Carthusian Monks in the 60s. I recommend it highly. And my favourite film is "Into Great Silence", about the Grande Chartreuse Carthusian community in the French Alps. Watching the film is like being on retreat! Even my non-religious husband loved it  I have felt an inner calling to a monastic kind of life for many years, even though my vocation is to be a wife/mother/homemaker. I have been able to satisfy this calling by becoming a Benedictine Oblate, but I find reading about the monastic life also nurtures me greatly! |
"Living Life on the Home Front!" My Blog: Life on the Home Front  “It is most laudable in a married woman to be devout, but she must never forget that she is a housewife. And sometimes she must leave God at the altar to find Him in her housekeeping.” ~ St. Frances of Rome | |
