They’ve been praying nonstop for more than 100 years and want to make sure the order continues.

For more than 100 years, the cloistered nuns known as the Pink Sisters have worked in shifts to ensure nonstop prayer in Philadelphia’s Chapel of Divine Love.

Now, to address their shrinking numbers and ensure their prayers continue for another century, the Roman Catholic Holy Spirit Adoration sisters have begun quietly reaching out, seeking to grow their order while carefully maintaining their secluded life…

We rarely reached out for vocation promotion before the centennial. But now we want young ladies to see how beautiful the life is and how truer the joy when it is without the trappings of material things,” said Sister Maria Clarissa, 55. “We do our part in addressing these challenges, but at the same time, we leave it to the Lord. He’s the one who calls.”

There were once as many as 40 nuns living in the Philadelphia convent. Now there are 20: The youngest is 52, and the oldest is 90.

    For some reason the logic of praying escapes me…
    If your benevolent, loving god can see, hear, and know all, why do those in need have to beg him for His help…???

      Fear of death and eternity of nothingness . Never seeing your loved ones or getting back that 5 bucks you loaned someone. It’s easier for many to close their eyes to reality, then to open them and accept the truth.

    look nothing wrong with a contemplative life/style…but not with the catholic church…perhaps with the buddhists……

    Nothing fails like prayer. With 100 years of praying, what has it accomplished? I dare say nothing.

      Indeed – this is like saying that your team played in the same building for 100 years, and nothing about how well they performed.

    Praying for what? Different color habit? The abolishing of the wimple?
