Purpose of our blog

We'll be commenting on the progress of our proposed eremitic religious organization--the Reparatrix Anchoresses of Our Lady of the Cloister. Our link: http://cloisters.tripod.com/cloisterites/

The Cloisterite Hermits, as they're more commonly known, will have as their purpose in life withdrawing from the world to be more attentive to Our Lord. All of them hold regular jobs, so this will be challenging for them, but it can be done. They will be following a Plan of Life, known to us as "Nesting in the Sacred Heart," which will be based primarily on the spirituality of Blessed Emilie D'Oultremont, the foundress of the Society of Mary Reparatrix. The Cloisterite Hermits will have as their main four emphases: reparation; prayer for the cloisters and their vocations; prayer for emerging charisms and their vocations; and the initiatives of Cloister Outreach.

The hermits have each day of the week dedicated to a specific devotion:

Monday -- the Holy Ghost, making reparation in particular for suicide
Tuesday-- St. Joseph, making reparation for neglecting him and the saints
Wednesday--the angels, making reparation for the misuse of their name & purpose
Thursday--the Blessed Sacrament, making reparation for sacrileges, etc.
Friday--the Sacred Passion, making reparation for sin & disbelief
Saturday--the Poor Souls & Our Mother of Sorrows, making reparation for disbelief
Sunday--the Resurrection, making reparation for disbelief & unnecessary servile labor

If there are any questions regarding this emerging charism, please feel free to contact me. Please put "Cloisterite Hermits" in the subject line.

Blessings,
