Here are some pictures from Corpus Christi Monastery. This is hopefully where I will be in about a year! Just here to the left is a bird's eye view of the monastery and part of the grounds. sorry about the dark line in the middle, the picture was scanned from a book on Sister Mary of the Trinity, Poor Clare of Jerusalem.
The next picture are the chapels. The one on the right is the public chapel and on the left, the cloister chapel for the Sisters. If you look at the monsterance and the "keyhole" that it is in, it can be viewed in both chapels at the same time because the altars are back to back. I believe that the chapel itself was built in 1919.
Next we have Liturgy of the Hours and the cross form prayer which is done daily (I think twice daily!) for a few minutes, but I cannot remember if it is after or before the examination of concience.
Next we have the cell and the library. In the picture from the library you can see they do not wear shoes, and if you can read the bit at the bottom, it explains they only wear shoes outdoors when working.
Next, we have some celebrations! Investiture! The little Postulant clothes herself in the Holy Habit of the Poor Clares! It also looks like that new Novice is the Novice Mistress now... At least that is what it looks like.
This last picture speaks for itself, no other words are needed from me! God Bless and Mary Protect!
