awyers Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Wow nelly! You scared me for a minute, I thought my vocation story somehow made it to EWTN without my knowing hahaha! Thank you for sharing such a beautiful clip! She articulates the call and motherhood so well, something which is often a struggle with those around me. God Bless, Allison

RezaMikhaeil Posted February 19, 2007 Posted February 19, 2007 Fabulous Video, its a shame that religious life for both men and women is highly discouraged in our society. Reza
Chiquitunga Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 That's Sister Marie Ste. Anne of the Child Mary. Looks like her younger sister is also in there with her, Sr. Maria Magdalena of the Merciful Redeemer. It's so neat how you can see the ceremony pictures on their site. What a blessed family!

DeoOptimoMaximo Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 A beautiful reflection and story! Truly inspiring! I met her younger sister, Sr. Maria Magdalena of the Merciful Redeemer, when she was still an extern.... PAX! -Seminarian Shawn
Starets Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 That is a wonderful and inspiring story. Its great to see people entering religious life fresh out of High School or College.
HeavenlyCalling Posted February 20, 2007 Posted February 20, 2007 A very beautiful video, the PCPAs have been blessed with so many wonderful young woman so eager to join and on fire for Christ, its wonderful!

Andrea348 Posted February 23, 2007 Posted February 23, 2007 (edited) Sr. Allison's sister, I think, wrote a song about the alabaster jar that was sung on Life on the Rock by the pcpa's with Sr. Allison playing the harp. It was soooo beautiful! EDIT: If you want to hear the song, go to this link and go down to episode #336 You want to start listening 11 minutes into the program. [post="EWTN"]http://www.ewtn.com/vondemand/audio/seriessearchprog.asp?pgnu=6&SeriesID=-6892323[/post] Here are some lyrics: "You must break the alabaster jar and pour it at his feet, Like Mary Magdalene, who then began to weep. Do not be afraid to give him your all, You've been called to break the alabaster jar." While in her discerning process, a Carmelite nun said, "Allison, you've got to break the alabaster jar of your life." Her sister wrote it after Allison entered for the feast of St. Therese because she had said: "Jesus, for you my ointment jar I break, the perfume of my life is thine." Sr. Allison also said on the episode "A young girl can be criticized for entering the convent and giving it all to Jesus because they say that you can do so much more in the world, but Jesus deserves it all, so Jesus wants us to spend it all.

Margaret Posted February 27, 2007 Posted February 27, 2007 Very Cool I got to meet Sr.Alison now Sr.St.Anne when I visited the PCPA's in Arizona she was visiting them also. did you now that she was a canidate for the Carmelites @ the sacred heart retreat house in alhambra? any way she was really really sweet and beautifull.
uruviel Posted February 28, 2007 Posted February 28, 2007 what a beautiful interview, thank you so much for sharing. I really admired her statements about the connection between motherhood and religious life, and how vital 'motherly' care is to being a religious sister. It was inspiring
