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!

“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.”
