Brides of Christ

This is the place I share everything (but especially pictures!) that I find beautiful and compelling about Catholic nuns.

In my opinion, it is one of the most beautiful things to give your life solely to God for the salvation of souls.

I am always so inspired when I see pictures of joyful, happy nuns and want to share that with you.

I sincerely hope this blog will touch someone's heart and perhaps stir something within them!

He is not here…why do you seek the Living among the dead.

avemariarosaries asked: I am sooo curious about the sisters of the Order of St. Michael photo--where did yufind it; really, I guess i mean, who are these sisters. What a cool habit!

I don’t remember how I found out about them but they have an interesting website. I believe they are in Spain.

They seem to have a flair for the dramatic, hahaha.

Abbey of Gethsemani

I realize this isn’t about nuns, but this is an absolutely beautiful video about one of my favorite places on earth.

Also, I don’t know when this was made but it seems like they have quite a few more members now than they did whenever it was made. Maybe I’m imagining that. I do know they have a few novices now, which is exciting.

“The state of consecrated life is thus one way of experiencing a “more intimate” consecration,
rooted in Baptism and dedicated totally to God. In the consecrated life, Christ’s faithful, moved
by the Holy Spirit, propose to follow Christ more nearly, to give themselves to God who is loved
above all and, pursuing the perfection of charity in the service of the Kingdom, to signify and
proclaim in the Church the glory of the world to come.”

Mary entered the Poor Clare Colettines in Barhamsville, VA today! They’ve been getting so many new vocations recently; it’s wonderful to see! They have another young woman hoping to enter in March who’s paying off her student loans.


“Mary entered today after Mass. Her entire family was here to bid her a bittersweet farewell. We welcomed her joyfully in our midst, mixing our tears with those of her family.”
