On the bottom of their prayer page is:<\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\"><b>Let prayer change you. Do something:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"articles\">Read a book about the life of a modern day saint\ufffdDorothy Day, Martin Luther King, Jr., Caesar Chavez, for example.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">The Pope has canonized 464 people during his pontificate and he can&#8217;t even get one on their short list for modern saints.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">They also have retreats that let you &#8220;Walk and dance our outdoor labyrinth in celebration of summer days&#8221; also &#8220;contemplative walking&#8221; and &#8220;movement prayer.&#8221;  I wonder if I can do contemplative walking on my treadmill, that would kill two birds with one stone.<\/p>\n<p class=\"post\">Then I read that Joan Chittister, OSB was part of this community and it all fit into place.  Previously she was going to attend a Women&#8217;s Ordination Conference in Dublin, Ireland and the Vatican wrote her superior to keep Sister Joan at Home.  The prioress refused the Vatican&#8217;s request and wrote a letter back to them.  All but one nun in the community signed the letter.  The superior&#8217;s statement explaining her reasons for disobeying the Vatican is a most extraordinary document. It was &#8220;out of the Benedictine tradition of obedience,&#8221; she says, that she formed her decision.  Sister Christine Vladimiroff is still the prioress of this community.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was reading this article on a new daily prayer site from the Benedictine Sisters of Erie and thought I would check it out.
