The OCart have preserved it, and other nuns have re-adopted it (e.g., I think, Solesmes nuns). You can't get a dispensation from consecration - vows you make, you can take them back, but you can't take back something done to you.berenikehttp://exlaodicea.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-15401596518474037622011-06-20T23:35:39.625+01:002011-06-20T23:35:39.625+01:00Feb 14, 2011 on this blog!

It's refreshing to get straight talk about this sort of thing; too often you get vague mumbles about 'all in God's time' right out of the places that are supposed to be helping people the most. And your Canadian accent occasionally has Scottish twinges :)Susannanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-73904558094120304212011-06-19T18:26:57.326+01:002011-06-19T18:26:57.326+01:00Thanks for posting your talk, Seraphic!

It is the unique female vocation in which the consecration is conferred upon the virgin through the ministry of the bishop, constituting her as a "sacred person" and placing her in the consecrated state. The Rite of Consecration largely follows step-by-step the Rite of Ordination. Just as ordination happens when the bishop prays the prayer of ordination, so the consecration of a virgin happens when he prays the prayer of consecration over the virgin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6905236167079601771.post-82263558987929544172011-06-19T02:20:47.611+01:002011-06-19T02:20:47.611+01:00Agreed.
