Our Blog Is Now OPEN! Welcome to All! -- Sister Commentaria

Dear everyone who has had the patience to return to this Blog after some time of inactivity. The Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart are back online!

First of all, just because our blogging presence has been diminished for a while, our prayers for all of you our friends and bloggers have continued full force.

So why has it been so long for the blog to get back up? We want to let everyone know that we have been participating in the slow process of learning how to manage a website. And we have grown. That means we have several websites to learn to update.

Our first website that is pretty near done (for now) is our www.carmelitesistersocd.com which you have already found because you are reading this blog.

However, please note if you were re-directed to this website from our old one (no longer in use) www.carmel-msh.org. Now you know our new one -- just say our name CARMELITE SISTERS and add OCD to it (which are our initials -- which stand for Order of Discalced Carmelites.

Our new RETREAT WEBSITES will be up soon, followed by our HEALTHCARE WEBSITES, and our new and improved CHILD CARE CENTER WEBSITES. Praise God.

Father Adrian, thank you for your faithfulnes in checking out our website progress even when there has been little progress! We look forward to your comment regarding our concluding question. We look forward to seeing you again!

I hope everyone has a chance to look at and take some time to meditate upon our new Carmelite Shield. It has been adapted by us to show our charism. It is right here on our www.carmelitesistersocd.com newwebsite. Go to WHO WE ARE and click on SHIELD. A lot of prayer has accompanied the design.

For everyone who is accustomed to watching our PHOTO JAM SLIDE SHOWS , we want you all to know that PHOTOJAM doesn't seem to be at its best--technical problems, etc-- so we are going to be showing you PHOTOS and use a different, new slide show format. Although it won't have PHOTOJAM "creativity" it will give everyone good photos and a professional presentation.

I would like to end this first blog with a question and we'll be waiting for your responses. Here it is: DO YOU THINK HARD ECOMONIC TIMES BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO GOD OR DRIVE THEM FURTHER AWAY OR DO THEY NOT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE AT ALL?

You may ask -- Who is the Carmelite Sister now starting up the Carmeltite Sisters BLOG? Stay with us long enough and you may be able to figure that out! For now you can just call me Sister Commentaria. Good bye for now and Praised be Jesus Christ!
