Feeling overwhelmed? Take your intentions, feelings and petitions directly to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament. If you are unable to get to adoration, check out the www.Savior.Org's 24 hour Adoration webcam. Petitions can be submitted via that site to the Holy Spirit Adoration Sisters of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
They are a cloistered, contemplative congregation dedicated to perpetual adoration They wear rose colored habits in honor of the Holy Spirit. Their main website explains their purpose:
"In prayer before the Eucharistic Throne, we bring to the Triune God the special intentions of evangelization, the sanctification of priests and the needs recommended to us."
Visit both sites for a refreshing experience in spiritual grounding, knowing that there are women who have dedicated their lives to pray to God continually for us!
That seems very charitable to be able to send them petitions. I also just found out that one can send petitions to be placed next to St. Padre Pio's tomb; that is also wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI plan on doing a series of posts in the next few weeks on religious orders. I think I'll look into the Franciscans, Dominicans, and the like, but I'll seriously look at these sisters too. They seem to be a wonderful group because we can easily forget to pray to the Holy Spirit.
I love that, I found it a while ago and am glad that they have it online for those who cannot get there or simply feel like praying and adoring from home.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! x
Its heartening to know that there are still some religious orders out there going strong!
