Happy to see that this isn't a story about someone bitter with religious life and with the Church. It is more a reflection on the times and the lack of real formation, human, spiritual, intellectual, needed to live religious life happily. Given the fact that she spent about 6 years with the Benedictines I do wonder why she thinks the founder was St. Francis! Such a glaring mistake does make me wonder!This story is written in a conversational and personal way. At times it was tedious and I skipped forward.This is a gliimpse, both intriguing and sad of a past era of young women entering religious life. What struck me is that while some things don't change in religious life---prayer, vows, obedience, community--how all that is done and the women who enter are vastly different today.
The Holy Habit: My Love Affair and Break-Up With the ConventRenee-Therese DearbornOne very important question that is implied, but not explicitly asked in Renee-Therese Dearborn's book is, who is it, exactly, that believes in Christ? The answer is “I†– it is “I†who believes in Christ.The “I†believes in Christ because what is offered by that belief – the very demands of the belief – is a personal, one-on-one relationship with God.Dearborn's book is a chronicle of her youthful dedication to that idea of a very personal relationship with God – to be a Bride of Christ.It's a very personal story, written in a conversational style, that allows the reader to appreciate the nature of that kind of special devotion to a mystical ideal. A mystical ideal that takes place in a very real world of choices, consequences, relationships, joy, suffering, life and death.When you have that depth of belief, no experience is really trivial, because every experience is an opportunity to live out God's will. Every moment a potential realization of God's presence, on Earth as it is in Heaven.Dearborn is 17 when she enters the convent, 22 when she departs. Along the way she goes from child to young adult. She chose to enter the convent, full of idealistic joy, in the midst of puberty.But she is forced to confront the reality of plain living conditions, hard work, physical and emotional limitations, wonderful moments of companionship and service to others, miserable moments when relationships are revealed to be shallow. Animals die, people die, relationships die, dreams die. But she finds other dreams take the place of those that are past. She never gives up, and never gives in to the dark side of nihilism.In other words Dearborn is forced to give up the toys of childhood and act as an adult confronting life as it is. By the time she leaves, a woman of 22, she has been a teacher, a caretaker, she has encountered aspects of herself that she didn't know existed, she is exalted an humbled.She leaves the convent with different ideas then the one she came with, but they are ideas that allow her to fully live out her ideals of service, family, and good will.SC 2016
Full disclosure, we know and love Renee, so we were prepared to love the book, and we did. I have read it through and my husband is reading it now. I'll read it again. As a cradle-Catholic, I identified with her desire to live a life as a nun -- most little Catholic girls fantasize about what it would be like, especially those, like me, who are mostly educated by admired and (mostly) loved nuns. Renee told her story so that it was easy to know what her life was like. I would like to see a sequel. She's had an interesting life.
Goes to show, human beings are human whether living secular lives or trying to imitate our Lord on a minute to minute basis. We are all flawed, some more than others. To the nuns who gave Sister Bridget such a hard time, shame on you. But there are more good sisters in a convent than not. It took enormous courage for this woman to endure the rigors of becoming a nun. It is expressed beautifully and in heart wrenching detail in this book. It was truly enlightening to have a window on what cloistered life looks and feels like. I hope time has brought some much needed changes. Thank you to all the "good sisters" who sacrifice beyond our knowing all over the world.
I have read many books by women who left religious life. I find many are very bitter. That is not the case. Mrs. Dearborn was honest. Life had its ups and downs. She handled all phases of her sojourn with intelligence, dignity and humor. This was a very interesting and informative book. Thank you
This was a well-written book but a little suspect. Suddenly "The Rule of St. Benedict" became the "Rule of St. Francis" in one or two places and also "Sister Benedict" suddenly became "Sister Josephine" when the author and another nun were helping at an impoverished parish. Also at this same parish the priest said Mass after lunch which was odd as back in those days one had to be fasting after midnight in order to receive Communion so Mass would have been said before lunch. In order to enter religious life in 1948, 68 years ago, the author would have to be in her late 80's so it is remarkable she remembers numerous complete long conversations from so long ago. Am not making any accusations - there is just something "off" about this story although for the most part it seems true enough. Personally I think a lot of it was made up while still being based on this woman's experiences from long ago. Sort of like a historical novel based on a real person.
I loved it. I really enjoyed the way she writes, it was like listening to a good friend telling the story. I always wondered what it would be like to enter a convent and what would lead up to the decision. She took me on an honest, emotional journey that taught me so much. I want a sequel telling what happened after she left the convent. She is a remarkable woman.
I loved this. It reminded me of my mom who told stories just like this of her many years at attempted convent life in that same time period only in the Northwest. Moments of hilarity and moments to savor and ponder. Tender. Very well written.
