Sister Disciples


Do you have one of those pictures you are just drawn to?
It intrigues you so much that you clip it and keep it somewhere close at hand.
Sometimes it is forgotten and then it reappears....
and your enjoyment starts all over again.
This is one of those for me.
I did a little search to see what this stands for.

The Sister Disciples are nuns.
 I have simplified the description of their calling
 and a wonderful calling it is. 

"A Sister Disciple is called to be a "living center of light and grace." She becomes the representative of humanity...adoring, praising, giving thanks, making reparation and supplication. She uses all forms of creative means (painting, sculpture, Church design, architecture, music, needle work and writing) in her work. Sister Disciples are consecrated women who share the call to be disciples…living, loving, and sharing lives of prayerful simplicity with hearts open to the world and its needs."

It is just a sign and a collection of oil cans with a wee bit of  a door to the side.
I found it in Boston Magazine's Home & Garden a few years ago and just love it. 
Maybe it is my Irish Catholic roots coming out
or maybe I have those early Hayley Mills movies on my mind
either way...I would love to have this sign in my home.
Better yet, I could change the wording to

Sister Disciples
of  the
Divine Blogosphere

What do you think?
