Anybody know the story of the Civil War "Drummer Boy of Chickamauga" (Johnny Clem)? In 1927, his daughter became a cloistered Carmelite nun, later founding the Carmel in Reno. Her faith was so strong he himself fully embraced his Catholic roots. btw, I am a Jewish man and find history fascinating.

They seem quite immature, especially for a 23-year-old. Laughing with their mouths wide open to try and show they're so happy.

I thought about becoming a Dominican nun back in '02 and '03. But they said I had to finish my degree first. I went back to school, met my husband!! I'm a wife and mother now.

Beautiful cha

Thank you. Amen Hallelujah 🇮🇳✝️

I know all about cloistered nuns and monks.....some monks are engaged in work outside their monastery eg running parishes. The nuns spend much time in prayer 'for the world' but I cannot see their prayers being answered. The situation in Gaza and the Ukraine is heartbreaking with the loss of thousands of innocent lives with no end in sight....so why? The nuns live a comfortable life...admittedly thay cannt come and go as they please but they are housed, clothed, fed and and cared for in old age. Not sure I really get the enclosed life?

Absolutely beautiful!

Mattie, your work is REMARKABLE! You are an inspiration :)

I see you baby girl ❤❤❤

Loved this!

Love this story! Spreading Black Girl Magic around the globe! 🌎💗

I looked up sisters of St Francis of perpetual adoration and found an updated photo of her and she looks really happy

As a student of cultural anthropology, this caught my attention.

Hope

Jesus would e a dog person. How wonderful. Apple !! Lol nooo why lol..that was enjoyable to hear your amswers on jesus in beginning of video. Wonderful.

I find Sara’s interaction with God in Genesis very humorous “My Lord I didn’t laugh” “You did Laugh.” Or The Dragon Statue vs The Ark of the Covenant is kinda funny too

Hope

How can the gay community be marginalized when most priests are gay?

When will James Martin come out?

Come Out !!!!

Sister Fiat??Were Sister Ferrari;Lamborghini or Maserati taken??

Good for her! I’m so glad she’s dedicating herself to the faith she is so passionate about. I know she will do well and I’m rooting for her!

Love to be taken care of like a child. Some gravitate towards the Military to be taken care of like a child. Follow the rules, being told what to do and when to do it. Meals,clothing and shelter taken care of. A Band of Brothers/ Sisters there for each other and ultimately for themselves. Although they say it is for others. That is the Beautification.❤. For as they do for others so shall it be done unto them.

Bbeso

I've heard this also helps with those on the Autism spectrum! It helps balance their brainwaves and bring them back to a "normal" and steady flow which in turn is extremely positive for them!

Im a Nigerian but I think that the Winans "mentored " me so much in my Gospel music growth such that no any other artist has. Cece gained more respect from me by her consistency. She has a way of making one look around to check if one is in faith with the kinds of songs she releases. "I love you Lord"..is so deep and assuring that one can not think of jumping ship from Jesus . My faith grows eveeyday. I pray God increases her anointing and that she fights the fight of faith till the end in Jesus jesus name. I Love you Maam

Such a great episode! I loved it ❤

Cool

Here are some thoughts on this mini-doc from Grotto senior video producer, Josh: "Going through all the footage in the editing process, it was clear that Rita’s farm was a unique yet calming place for everyone involved. The sun was setting, cats were cozying up to the nearest legs and the lighting inside the barn was just dramatic! I find it interesting that, as a Catholic, Rita is so passionate about horses and even claims that they are 'one of God’s greatest gifts.' It was actually Rita’s nephew, Ted Nagy, who pitched this story to us. He asked a few of his friends if they would try out his aunt’s horse/meditation class while he filmed for a Grotto story. On my part, it was cool to see the genuine reactions from all those who were there just as a favor for a pal."

Wow I really went crazy with groceries and housing...

I love the heart of everyone at SAME Cafe. It's just an honesty, quality place.

I dont understand, why cut your hair? 1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. 1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. Act 21:24 Take them and be purified with them, and pay their expenses so that they may shave their heads, and that all may know that those things of which they were informed concerning you are nothing, but that you yourself also walk orderly and keep the law. Who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered: For a woman to do this said by her actions “I am not under authority here.” And because God has established that the head of woman is man (1 Corinthians 11:3), it dishonors the men (her head) for a woman to say this by refusing to wear a head covering. Under these words of Paul, women are free to pray or prophesy, but only when as they demonstrate that they are under the authority of the male leadership of the church. That is one and the same as if her head was shaved: If a woman refuses to demonstrate being under authority, she may as well be shaved of her hair (let her also be shorn). In some ancient cultures, the shaving of a woman’s head was the punishment given to an adulteress. Having a woman’s head shorn or shaved meant different things in different cultures. In Jewish law, it was the mark of adultery (Numbers 5:11-31). In the Greek world, it could be the mark of a prostitute or lesbian. If it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered: Among the Corinthian Christians, there were probably certain “spiritual” women who declared that since Jesus, they did not need to demonstrate with a hairstyle or head covering that they were under anyone’s authority. In essence, Paul says to these women, “If you are going to forsake your head covering, go all the way and shave your head, and identify yourself with the women of the world, in all their shame.”

I am NOT a TIKTOK proponent!

I attended a Catholic school and the nuns were dysfunctional, cruel, demeaning, and abusive.

I am Jewish.Can I still be in this group?

Our God is a Loving God.❤❤

beautiful chapel.

Wishing that I could be nun serve god .

Wishing I could be nun calling to serve god. Beautiful stories and inspiring.

Truly wonderful. So rare these days to see people who are genuinely joyful. Most people have a plastic smile for every occasion. I call it teeth-flashing.

Sweetness

Get thee to a nunnery says hamlet!
