Massaging the message

The THIRSTY SCRIBE has a post about the spiritual daughters of Blessed Marie Rose Durocher, whose feast day the Church celebrated yesterday. This French Canadian woman founded the Holy Names Sisters (SNJM) as a teaching order to bring the message of Jesus to the poorest and most neglected children. The modern Holy Names, however, have abandoned their orginal charism and now, through their so-called "Ministry of Touch," offer the following 'body rubs' ...

· Swedish Esalen (with oil)
· Shiatsu (deep tissue release/acupressure, stretches)
· Reflexology
· Chair Massage (through clothes)
· Therapeutic touch (subtle touch/energy work)
· Cranio-sacral Therapy

To learn more about the Holy Names Sisters' sad descent from message bearers of Christ to masseuses, go to NOTES OF A THIRSTY SCRIBE.

These orders that are unfaithfl to their charism WILL DIE OFF--in time. But, oh, they are doing so much damage to the faith in the meanwhile.

Lord, save us from unholy religious!

Unfortunately, it looks like they have changed from the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary to the Unholy Names of Isis and Astarte

Re: "they will die off with time"

Unless they recruit women from the third world to fill the ranks. That is a strategy of some of these orders.

"poorest most neglected children"

That's news to me. They have a school right across from my workplace and it costs 8,000 dollars a year to attend. But hey, they will teach your kid that the "Dignity of the human" person comes before God. Check it out.
