Good Habits
As Dave Hartline says, the tide is rising in Catholicism.
Thriving convents are apparent all across the United States. Mostly the orthodox convents rather than the unorthodox, which is no surprise to this blogger. Many young women are putting on the habit nowadays.
Of course the mainstream media, mostly, doesn't report on this, but that is not of our concern. If the Holy Spirit allows for thriving convents so it shall be.
Helped by aggressive recruiting, media campaigns and Web sites, Roman Catholic convents around the country say they are experiencing an upturn in new nuns for the first time in decades, drawing from a millennial generation inspired by Pope John Paul II and looking for an alternative lifestyle that draws them closer to God.

Nunsurgence
I've been aware of the resurgence of vocations for women religious and have found a nice YouTube clip that shows this. Unfortunately, Matt Lauer doesn't ask the right questions or any at all as to why many young women are discerning the contemplative life. (Hat Tip: The Lair of the Catholic Cavemen).
Off the Record of Catholic World News has an excellent posting on the cloistered life.
