Is it possible for consecrated virgins to live obedience if they do not have a religious superior? What does obedience look like when you are not in a convent with bells ringing?! Karen, Simi, Hannah and Dawn talk about how obedience is “holding onto every least intimation of the will of God” (Mother Mary Francis). It is important that we have concrete ways to live in obedience: following our plan of life and being attentive to the magisterium of our bishops and the Pope. But there are also more delicate calls to obedience: through those we live amongst in the world, through friendship, and through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
This is the last episode of our book study of “My Beloved Is Mine and I Am His: Meditations on Brideship” - by Mother Mary Francis PCC, particularly the section on the Vow of Chastity.
Key quote: “It is obedience to the Father that all good is accomplished. It is in knowing how to bow one’s head in suffering obedience that alone renders one radiant. Willfulness, worldliness, immaturity, infantilism all pretend to be strong because these characteristics are so weak. The truly strong never have to proclaim their strength.”
