Holy Nuns, Happy in Habits

Nashville Dominican Sisters' joy shines through

I challenge you to watch this video and not wind up with a big goofy grin on your face by the end. This kind of joy is positively infectious.

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing.

 

Well, I couldn’t do it.  Even my kids had goofy grins at the end.  Infectious, indeed.

 

Yeah, I failed too….totally beaming at the end!!! What inspiration! smile

 

Absolutely beautiful..and yes, I had a big smile on my face!

Thank you!

 

Thank God for these wonderful women.  So many of them are young.  But, I loved Sr. Mary Vianney.  I am sure she is a wonderful titus 2 woman.  smile

 

Danielle, Thanks so much for sharing.  Sister’s from St. Cecilia’s in Nashville teach at our parish school, St. Mary’s of Oak Ridge, TN and Knoxville Catholic High School. Both of which my daughter attended. They are just wonderful and we’ve made lifelong friends.  Their joy is infectious.

 

Beautiful! Gives me great hope!

 

What a great congregation of nuns!!! Their joy and love for the call God has given them is so evident. The world needs that kind of witness, that knowing Christ and living for him brings great joy and peace in once life. I felt inspire to do the same in the call God has given me as a wife and mom. We all agree that life is not always easy, but how we react to it will give God the greatest glory.

 

Thank you so much for sharing this video! It made me cry! I am so inspired by these women. They are so joyful! It is truly wonderful to see so many young sisters.

 

Danielle, thanks for sharing this! Two of my dear friends, Sister Mary Sharon and Sister Mary Johanna are nuns in this order. Such a beautiful calling! I can’t wait to show my daughters the video.

 

That was definitely awesome.  If I didn’t already have a family, it would inspire me to join them!

 

After meeting Danielle in person—I hate to disagree with such a prominent voice in the new media—but I can honestly say, I didn’t smile at this video at all… Nope… no smile. Instead, I had tears running down my cheeks—seeing such beauty—an order of holy women serving their ‘spouse’ in such a wonderful way. Coincidentally, I’m working on an article about the Gift of Tears. This video sure made me celebrate that gift… Blessings. dt

 

I live in the Nashville area and can vouch that the beauty of these brides of Christ does in fact permeate through their vocation into so many lives.  What a beautiful witness - thanks for sharing this video!

 

I grew up in Catholic school.  My mother was taught by the Dominican nuns, at boarding school no less.  We need them here in So. Calif. to help us homeschooling moms!  Such joy!  Such beauty!
