LA CROSSE, Wis. — Flooding, snowstorms, a flu outbreak, even a fire — any of those might have slowed a group of Wisconsin nuns who say none of it has kept their order from praying nonstop for hundreds of thousands of people over the last 137 years.
The La Crosse-based Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration claim to have been praying night and day for the ill and the suffering longer than anyone in the United States — since 11 a.m. on Aug. 1, 1878.

When all is said and done in this fallen world, their's may be the only sensible course of action.

Genesis 18:
30 And [Abraham] said unto [the Lord], Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Peradventure there shall thirty be found there. And he said, I will not do it, if I find thirty there. 31 And he said, Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord: Peradventure there shall be twenty found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for twenty's sake. 32 And he said, Oh let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once: Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten's sake.

It certainly is “a” sensible course of action; I thank them for it. May the Lord strengthen them in perseverance.

If you buy stuff from Monastery Greetings, you end up funding small religious orders like this one.

I have no doubt.
Very sad that the Catholic Church at large is no longer busting at the seams with Nuns. And they’re the ones who should be teaching at all Catholic schools, K-8 at least.
They complete the Church.

This is a terribly liberal order. They have been dying as an order for years. If you see a picture of them, you would see very few of them with anything but gray hair.

The Pharisees were rigorously pious, too.

What are you talking about? Nothing you said makes any sense in regards to the article.

New a minister who once said that prayer is the most under used natural resource our country has.
