Alone with God: Hermit Nun Lives Life of Prayer, Solitude (Artykuł o s. Mary Dawidczyk) She previously was part of a small group of Carmelite sisters who live in a monastery on a ridge near Houston, Minnesota but she said she left there in 1996 because she felt God was calling her to lead an even more secluded life. Ballet Was My First Convent (Artykuł o s. Mary Alphonsa Nicassio) Given the current shortage of priests and nuns, it's hard to imagine that a young, intelligent woman desiring to become a nun would find no order to take her. Yet that is exactly what happened in the case of Sister Mary Alphonsa Nicassio.

Finding solitude with God (Artykuł o członku Wspólnoty Pustelników Świętego Brunona br. Johnie Schroederze) "I think I always wanted to be hermit," Brother John Schroeder said. "I've always been a solitary, which is funny because I enjoy company, but I enjoy company on my terms." For sale: 81 acres of peace and quiet (Artykuł o s. Kristine Haugen OCDH) It's an unusual real estate posting for sure: Hermitage for sale...
Hermit nun is anything but reclusive (Artykuł o s. Oldze Yaqob) For a hermit, Sister Olga Yaqob is remarkably extroverted. She ministers to students at Boston University's Catholic Center, crisscrosses the country giving talks on campuses, and uses public transit because by looking at other passengers, "I do feel that the world wants me to pray for them."
Hermit nun lives, prays alone, but she is not isolated (Artykuł o s. Theresie Berlin) She's more like Thomas Merton or her role model, St. Catherine of Siena. They both lived in solitude during stretches of their lives, only to be called back into the world to teach what they had learned. The life of a hermit or "solitary" is less about the physical trappings of life, and more about the inner call to live in great intimacy and total immersion with God through the Trinity.

Meet sister Wendy (Artykuł o s. Wendy Beckett) Sister Wendy's contemplative vocation means a life of solitude and prayer, but allows for two hours of work each day. After spending many years translating medieval Latin manuscripts, Sister Wendy decided in 1980 to pursue the subject that had fascinated her since childhood: art. Making this part of her vocation, she began working from reproductions and postcards, corresponding by letter with art galleries and museums around the world.
Trappistine nun lives the hermit life in Hendry County (Artykuł o s. Lilian Shank) As a hermit, Sister Shank lives with her Yorkshire terrier, Gracie, and black cat, Perky, in a doublewide trailer in what might be called the middle of nowhere -the outskirts of Clewiston.
