Is it possible to live a contemplative vocation in the world?

The story of the Little Sisters of Jesus, contemplative religious living in the world without a cloister, and their circus fraternity in Europe and the USA, can be found here on the website for the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People (link from my friend Father Lennie).
