J.M.+J.D. We created this blogspot a little over a year ago after we first connected to the www from our humble cloister here in the Holy Land of America (aka Louisiana). Sadly, we never actually became bloggers . . . until now, that is. We have been happily busy corresponding with over 100 young women under the age of 30 who are discerning a religious vocation and have expressed interest in joining us in the joyous venture of re-founding our Dominican Monastery of the Heart of Jesus. Many have either already come to spend time in our guesthouse in order to have personal interviews or are scheduled to come soon. There are about a dozen now with applications for our Aspirancy and those who have already made theirs. Our postulant entered on the Solemnity of Corpus Christi and she is excited at the prospect of our receiving many, many more (please, God) "little sisters" ~ two of which already have their entrance dates! We did manage to post a few pics on our xanga and we will try to find an extra moment here and there within our full horarium to do the same for our poor neglected blog. While we work on that, you are welcome to visit us at: http://www.xanga.com/home.aspx?user=Ldominican . Off to guard the Blessed Sacrament in Adoration . . .
