Wonderful pictures, as always. Thank you so much. However, the Japanese nun is a member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts (plural). I believe that the photograph is incorrectly captioned in the Google Life Magazine archive.

Quite a spectacular Habit, isn't it?

Oremus pro invicem.

Bailey,

Thank you for the correction. Unfortunately, I have found many other captions that have not been correct in the Google Life Magazine photos archives.

And yes, not that you mention it, I can see the two Hearts on the habit of the nun.

Thank you!

The Carmelites are not monks but friars.

I'm two years late but the Carmelite with the profession Crucifix is actually a monk and not a frair. He is with the community in Wyoming.

I was responding to the anonymous bloggee that mentioned about Carmelites being friars and not monks...you were correct.

The image captioned as Nuns Praying The Office is actually of Nuns in the Chapter Room. They have no Office books and the book open on the lectern appears to be the Martyrology.

The nuns working are actually Beguines. They were not canonical nuns.
