Sr. Liz reminds us that God calls a person to be truly themselves in his or her vocation. He didn't call one to be someone he or she is not; He recognizes our humanity, and invites us to holiness in our struggles.

Focused on serving Christ in the poor, the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul were founded at a time when religious sisters were cloistered and upper-class. St. Vincent made it possible for women of all classes could serve out in the world, where they make yearly vows on the Feast of the Annunciation. Sr. Liz gives some of the history of the transition from cloistered to active life in religious communities.

Welcome to Season 3!!!

Founded in 1447, the Third Order Regular of St. Francis branched from the Order of Friars Minor to include priests who desired a penitential way of life. The friars focus on constant conversion of life, living each moment in response to God's grace and mercy. From this mercy flows their emphasis on pursuing the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.

An early monastic "order", the Cistercians were founded from a group of Benedictines who sought to reform the discipline of the community. Continuing to follow the Rule of St. Benedict, the nuns daily commit themselves to Ora et Labora-- prayer and work--through traditional Liturgy of the Hours and supportive work (in the case of Sr. Marie-Pierre's community, the making of alter bread).
