  • In Virginia Dale, Colorado, a community of Benedictine nuns live a life of prayer and work on a 300-acre cattle ranch. At the Abbey of St. Walburga, situated among grassy meadows and snow-capped mountains, the sisters sing the psalms, pray, and raise cows for the grass-fed organic beef they produce.

    Dear Sisters of Christ, God bless 🙏🏼all of you for your humble & pious vocation. Your habit reminds me of none other than Mother Mary. I am a very disciplined Christian & am able to pray only 3 times + Holy Mass almost daily. Every Nun is in my daily prayers. May God Almighty bless you abundantly for turning your backs on the materialism of the world & instead livng a Christian life all for HIM.

    My fond wish is that religious communities embrace hospitality to some degree. I visit an Episcopal monastery locally where we have daily mass and liturgy of the hours. It is lovely but I miss the company of women. I would certainly help with chores and gladly change 7 times each day for prayer. I am a middle aged woman and can no longer qualify for an order but it was my intension as a teen to do so. If I found that there were sister who did something other than teach children or care for the elderly I would have made more of an effort. I hope many young women learn of this order.
