TEN years today as a vowed religious Sister ❤️🙏🏾

A Baptist banker becomes a Catholic nun - no, it’s not the setup to a joke. @SJOSEPHINE_CSFN shares her powerful journey from a successful secular career to answering the call to religious life. She recounts her radical transformation & why she couldn’t be happier with where God

We face moments when holding things inside can slowly consume us. Jesus teaches us not to be afraid to cry out, as long as our cry is sincere, humble, and directed to the Father. A cry is never pointless, if it is born of love. And it is never ignored, if it is entrusted to God.

Nuns are boring? @SJOSEPHINE_CSFN sets the record straight. #AscensionPresents

We often defend our lives, our plans, our securities, without realizing that doing so causes us to remain alone. The logic of the Gospel is different. Only what is given away flourishes; only love that is freely given can restore trust, even where everything seems lost.

All of us need to ask the Lord to heal our way of communicating, not only so that we may be more effective, but also so that we may avoid wounding others with our words. https://t.co/T21In0KMdh

"We are not sad & discouraged [due to our sins and failures] so much because God was offended, but because the ideal image that we have of ourselves has been brutally shaken. Our pain is very often that of wounded pride!" -Fr Jacques Philippe

Faith is above all a response to a gaze of love. The greatest mistake we can make as Christians is, in the words of Saint Augustine, “to presume that the grace of Christ consists in His example and not in the gift of His person.”

The more we let ourselves be convinced and transformed by the Gospel — allowing the power of the Spirit to purify our heart, to make our words straightforward, our desires honest and clear, and our actions generous — the more capable we are of proclaiming its message.

There seems to be an incorrect claim that Sr. Tiziana Merletti, just named to the Vatican Dicastery for Religious, does not wear a habit. She wears a habit but her community habit does not include a veil, which is common but not mandatory for sisters. Here's a picture of her &

My alma mater @UofDallas made good on its promises … life long friends, joyful faith and becoming a lifelong learner in the pursuit of truth, wisdom and virtue… I was deeply humbled and grateful to serve as today’s commencement speaker and receive an honorary doctorate degree.

Christ's peace is not the silence of the tomb after a conflict, and it is not the result of subjugation. Peace is a gift that gazes at others and renews their lives. Let us pray for this peace, which is reconciliation, forgiveness, and courage to turn the page and start again.

There is so much violence and so many wars in our world! Amid this horror that should provoke outrage—as people die in the name of military conquest—stands the call of Christ, who repeats: ‘Peace be with you!’
