A recent blog post, "Benedictine nun’s successful online community–giving access to a monastic spirituality," by Debbie Thrower shares the impact of Sister Joan Chittister on Debbie's life as well as on the Monasteries of the Heart online community. She writes, "If you become a member of the online community Monasteries of the Heart,... you receive free weekly practices ‘that can help you develop a monastic spirituality–prayer, lectio (reflective reading), good works, study, and community. You also receive free inspirational words each week from three monastic blogs, including one by Sister Joan. And you join a worldwide community whose members discuss meaningful issues and are intent on impacting the times.’"
