Spiritual Reflection - A Medal of Honor
มุมมอง 2.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Today, Sister acknowledges the ugliness of sin and just how complicit we all are in making Our Lord's compassionate Heart suffer. But she also acknowledges that the less we can do, the more He can do for us! Despite our fallen natures, God is here to carry us, we only need to accept His Love and His Mercy.
Spiritual Reflection Week 8 - Why do we need Carmelite Nuns?
มุมมอง 11K3 ปีที่แล้ว
People often ask why contemplative orders are important: in today's reflection, Sister tells us why. Carmelite Nuns spend almost their entire day (over 8 hours) in prayer, and they pray and pray for the Church, her priests, and for poor sinners. Most of us have many (important) things to do on a daily basis, from raising children to working in our communities, but we don't always have time for ...
Reflection Week Eight - To be Perfectly in the Arms of our Father
มุมมอง 1.7K3 ปีที่แล้ว

The Rugged Way of the Cross
มุมมอง 3.7K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Just in time for Holy Week, Sister reflects upon why it feels as if Satan has the upper hand in our world. St. John of the Cross says that redemption was wrought in God’s time - all at once - but that we see this unfolding drama of redemption in our time, little by little.
Lenten Weekly Reflection No. 5 - Heaven is for Lovers
มุมมอง 1.6K3 ปีที่แล้ว
What does it mean to be a follower of Christ? It is to be a Lover. A lover of souls, a lover of all that is good. To die for love is to gain, however. A Carmelites' vocation is to love and to die daily: their daily life is true gain - gain for priests, for families, for benefactors, for the whole world. There is no soul on earth that escapes their love and their solicitude.

    This video expresses well the universal relationship between architecture and the quality of life of the humans who occupy it. Unfortunately, that genius then seems to turn immediately into a Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish way of life. Nice enough, for sure, but does not speak to most of us today. (But I'll bet those Pennsylvania Dutch/Amish nuns have exchanged horses and buggies for modern vehicles.)

    So, at this moment in history, we have artificial intelligence, quantum computers, CRISPER Gene-Editing, the James Webb Space Telescope, etc...; but we can no longer construct a Monastery building from stone?! 😂 Thank you, blessed Sistets, firstly, for having sacrificed your lives for Christ and His Mystical Body; and secondly, for your steadfast dedication to constructing a true Monastery, made only of stone and wood - to serve as both a sign of, and inspiration toward, that spiritual stability that comes from a life of prayer and work, in the silent, hidden life of the cloister. God Bless You!!!❤

    Nice to see the horses. I am a lapsed catholic convert, need to get things set right. I live alone in a tiny home and farm and log with draft horses, my Gentle Giants. I do a lot of thinking about things, and this video also gives me much to ponder. If I lived close by I would volunteer my horses and my time to help them with the farming side. If the sisters could say a little prayer for me I would appreciate it.
