The Oprah Winfrey show is one of the most high profile and highest rated shows in the United States. It is much more than a simple daytime talk-show. Along with the usual collection of celebrities and human interest stories Oprah's couch is guest to the prime movers and shakers in American society, including presidential candidates. Last week the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist from Ann Arbor, Michigan appeared on the show. They provided a very rare glimpse into a thriving community, with just under 100 active religious sisters and an average age of 26. After watching the segment you can understand why: they are so full of joy and so devoted to their calling and to Christ. But why take my word for it, watch the show below for yourself!
Well thanks for this post!!
ReplyDeleteYah, it's good to see the female Religious Orders using the Media to share in their lives and please God, encourage Vocations in this world of consummerism and secularism.
Other Religious Orders (especially some of the Msle sort)take note!!!
