Beijing
(AsiaNews) - Two American Benedictine nuns have made a long journey
to China to help some local women's religious congregations renew
their lives.
Religious
communities in China, which flourished again in various dioceses
after the Cultural Revolution, are plagued by several problems, not
the least being the need to renew their life in accordance with the
reforms of Vatican II, whose slow implementation in China is due to
"isolation and government control imposed on the Chinese
Church".
In
recent decades, many religious figures in the universal Church have
offered to help Chinese congregations grow in their spirituality,
community life and the sense of virginal gift.
The
visit by the two Benedictine nuns in Jiangsu and Beijing took place
last May, but was reported only now.
From
12 to 18 May, Sister Mary Catherine Wenstrup from Kentucky and Sister
Stefanie Weisgram from Minnesota were guests of Mgr Joseph Shen Bin,
at the Bishop's Residence in Haimen.
Here,
they have offered biblical and spiritual courses to the nuns of two
religious congregations, the Sisters of the Child Jesus in Haimen and
the Presentation Sisters in Suzhou.
