I am weeping. It was listening to Fr. Gruner as a young man that helped persuade me into converting to Catholicism in my early 30's. I was drawn to Benedictine religious life and actually entered into it as a third order for 6 years until it fell apart from the top down and died due to leadership decisions. 20 years later I have found a diocesan TLM and live as a hermit, no vows, no habit, just a single guy struggling along in relative poverty. I hope these good sisters are able to find a way forward together and not remain scattered.
Dear Reverend Nun, 30 Years a Hermit Alone. This has been my journey of rejection trying to make a small Pro Life monastic community. WEEP NO MORE. ! God is with us as we struggle. ~ Monk Anthony
Thank you for this wonderful sharing of the Faith. My granddaughter is a Carmelite, 2 yrs. Praise be to God! I have been a devotee of Our of Our Lady for fifty yrs.
I am a 46 year old woman, never married, traditionalist... when I was 16 (attending SSPX) I wrote a letter of interest to the local Carmelite convent, but they told me i was too young. After high school, I went into the military, helped my mother at the end of her life, attended college classes, and over the years experimented with a small handful of pointless dating relationships. Now I have my own house (I live alone and I love it, as i can pray and daydream all i want), a stable job, and still attend Trad Mass. ... Over the years, I never forgot about the cloistered life; but I am saddened that I may have missed a calling to be a cloistered traditional Carmelite -- for the lame reason that I was distracted by the world. It breaks my heart that now I'm too old. But i would probably give up my worldly life if I could get an age waiver... I'm still in great health. Well, now the future of trad convents is not looking promising, so that is doubly heartbreaking ☹️
Thank you for sharing. Your life sounds as if you’re dedicating a lot of time and effort to prayer. If you also attend mass, read the Scriptures, pray the Rosary, and treat others with charity, much good can come from your living as a single woman dedicated to the Catholic life. God bless you.
God bless you and all the Carmelite Sisters. Thank you for answering your vocational call and prayerfully finding a way forward. Will pray for all of you
Great presentation by Sister Lauretta Maria. I was truly moved and edified by what she said. A great soul. What Bergoglio is doing to these holy women is preposterous,
Please pray for the Arlington, Texas Carmelites. They moved to the Sspx, which is a good thing, but the local diocesean bishop is still trying to call the shots and is being terrible towards them.
Dear Sister, Thank you for your persistence and fortitude in remaining strong and dedicated to your true calling as a contemplative Carmelite Sister, praying for the world, your country, your state, and your city. Three Ave Marias (in Latin) for you and your "family" of Sisters there. My experience with Cor Arans is related to the oldest Carmelite Monastery in the United States. - the Philadelphia Carmel. The rotten trick that they pulled on the Sisters at the Philadelphia Carmel through that sneaky means and lies of Cor Orans made those of us who were "caretakers" of the the Monestary (after the TLM -dedicated Carmelite Sisters who came from Nenraska to Philadelphia help build the Monastery up and bring in new "recruits" ) as the Philadelphia-Trenton-Camden--Allentown--Wilmington-Baltimore-& Washington, DC areas would fill 39:28 the pews on Sundays for Masses, both low and high. Many different choirs rotated singing the high Masses - it was something very special to do. You felt the presence of the souls of the deceased sisters around you, singing away. We had things set up for the Feasts each year and had large crowds - many times, standing room only. When the word got out about the Cor Arans coming through the Sisters from Nebraska, under the cover of night, left the Monastery and drove back to Nebraska. Mother Pia was all that was left, so we set up partners to take nights over and do our days as well until we would get anything from Archbishop Nelson Perez or the Vatican. CRICKETS. Until one Friday the people scheduled for the weekend cleanup duty ( "Fall Cleanup:and overnight) found all of the gate locks changed and Mother Pia gone! She had been visited early that day and was told that she could go to the Carmelite Monastery at St. Elmo, Minnesota. And that all would be the same as it was :charism like for her and canonically as well. All Lies! So the laity here still doesn't know whay happened, why, by whom ( the evidence is pointing to the Vatican.) But Mother Pia is old - In her 80's, and now has to go back to the Nervous Order. Where are all of the beautiful statues? The relics from St. Therese the Little Flower? St. Theresa of Avila? And so many more? This Monastery was the first on built in Philadelphia and was full of relics. And still nobody knows what happened. But I can tell you the cosequences of evacuating the Sisters. The section of the city has become one of THE MOST DANGEROUS in Philadelphia. Because Bergoglio had to get his greasy, slimy, filthy dirty hands on it. Bergoglio is a shill and a heretic. The cardinals MUST get him out. And soon! Looks like I will be joining the SSPX.
It seems like there is lawfare going on to use past sex abuse incidents to bankrupt monasteries. That land is valuable for more stack and packs. Its really heart wrenching!
Praised be Jesus & Mary! May God bless you Sister! Looking forward to the completion of this monastery. It will be full to capacity soon after the doors are open.
Thank you for your interest in this presentation. The prayer is called from its first words in Latin, the Actiones Nostras. It is a traditional indulgenced prayer which can be found in the Raccolta or Enchiridion. God bless you. Direct, we to Thee, O Lord, all our actions by Thy holy inspirations and carry them on by Thy gracious assistance, so that every prayer and work of ours may begin always from Thee and through Thee be happily ended. Through Christ Our Lord. Amen. www.preces-latinae.org/thesaurus/Cotidiana/ActionesNostras.html
You think sister Lucia or any other saint would be promoting such suspicion&dissension with their local Bishops or the magisterium, and in the process set themselves up as arbiters within the church? Many have taken that path before.
Thank you for your interest in this presentation. To contact the Carmel, please see their website here: habitformingsisters.wixsite.com/buildingproject
Thank you for your comment. We have that assertion (like others which have been publicly disproven) only from Cardinal Bertone. The question then presents itself: Was it Sr. Lucia who either lied or was mistaken, or was it the now-disgraced Cardinal? The question answers itself. See Chapter 8 of The Secret Still Hidden for a detailed account of the Cardinal being caught in one lie after another. fatima.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Secret-Still-Hidden.pdf Or as the matter of the year 1960 was summarized in the book Fatima Priest, p. 234: "During the June 2000 press conference, then Archbishop Bertone had the temerity to claim that Lucia declared to him in private weeks earlier: "It was not Our Lady. I fixed the date!" We say temerity, because the future Secretary of State knew then that his representation was flatly contradicted by what Lucia had written on the two envelopes he had chosen not to reveal at that time. Father Gruner did not miss the significance of what Bertone was claiming here: Either Sister Lucia had lied about this crucial matter throughout her life, which was inconceivable, given that she is God's chosen recipient of the Fatima revelations, or the words attributed to her by Bertone were not hers, and thus it was Bertone who was the liar! Here, in and of itself, was reason to doubt the entire "official" account of the Third Secret." fatima.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Fatima-Priest.pdf God bless you.
@petewhittaker... a) There are TWO sister Lucias, the real one and the second, an imposter: see the John Henry Weston's program about this-and the scientific data is irrefutable on the differences between these two women. b) Our Lady does NOT deceive or lie: she promised the conversion of Russia, the triumph of her Immaculate Heart AND a time of peace granted to the world-NONE of which has occurred. So, either you have to believe that if JPII's consecration was correct, then ALL that Our Lady promised is on time-delay… for OVER A GENERATION so far after(!!)… OR Our Lady really means what she said, and we're still waiting for the consecration to be correctly done »»according to the instructions required by GOD««. Jesus made clear that >by their fruits< you'll know who are faithful to Our Lord… and His mother also. ... At The Same Time, the blame and responsibility lays Not only with the pope and Church hierarchy, but also with the rest of us: Sr. Lucia stated that the consecration will only be done when enough people are fulfilling-living/following-the message of Fatima. So, each and all of us must do our part, incl. sharing and encouraging others to follow Our Lady's requests.
'Hell knows through experience that these [consecrated] souls with their prayer disturb the situation and condition of nations...that they upset [hell's] sinister plans, overturn them and destroy their kingdom.' Bl. Francisco Palau, "The Struggle of the Soul with God." Bl Palau, instructing a spiritual daughter - a nun - on the battle with the devil over society, wrote concerning the strategy of the demons, 'they know that the affairs of the world are settled, not according to the ideas of the politicians, but how these souls (consecrated religious) conform to God in prayer.' Consecrated virgins are the vanguard warriors par excellence of the Church Militant. What does any anti-Christ revolution do first? They destroy the monasteries. Henry 8th and the 'dissolution of the monasteries (what a euphemism), the Voltarians of the French Revolution murdering nuns; V2 didn't murder the body, it sought to murder the souls of religious by imposing perverse psychological practices and the spiritually feeble and feckless Novus Ordo. V2, therefore, is a far more wicked revolution. Kyrie eleison.

Isn't the SSPX under the Pope somehow? I've tried to figure them out for many years.
@michelleishappy4036 Yes, they are under the Pope but considered Irregular. Their sacraments are valid though.
@@loriw.9653 Thanks! Good ro know!
I’m a traditional catholic my prayers are with the traditional nuns their in my prayers ❤❤❤God Bless
"Traditional" and "under Francis" are mutually exclusive categories.
Take the example of the Carmelites in Dallas. They now have the protection of the marvelous SSPX.
