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!

shortbreadsh: Today marks the 31st anniversary of the loss of four courageous women – Sr. Maura Clarke M.M., Jean Donovan, Sr. Ita Ford, M.M., and Sr. Dorothy Kazel, O.S.U. who were raped and murdered in El Salvador on December 2, 1980, while serving as missionaries during a very tumultuous period in the history of the Americas. “Several times I have decided to leave El Salvador. I almost could except for the children, the poor bruised victims of this insanity. Who would care for them? Whose heart could be so staunch as to favor the reasonable thing in a sea of their tears and loneliness? Not mine, dear friend, not mine.”  –Jean Donovan
