Catholic Fire

The love that God has for the soul is like that which the bridegroom has for his bride. In the heart of the "Bible Belt" in Tennessee, the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia have fully embraced that love in the living of their vows and apostolic life for 150 years. Like their patron, the virgin martyr Cecilia, the Nashville Dominicans promise their heart to Christ and it is His voice that fills their ears and secures their promise to be His alone. This joyful, holy community radiates their love for Christ and neighbor, revealing in this compelling film what it means to live the consecrated life as both a contemplative and a teacher. They manifest to the world that religious life is all about love and joy, but a love that is different and unique. It is a love that is eternal.

This is an uplifting and inspirational video! It makes me feel so optomistic about religious vocations today. A March, 2007 documentary from Canadian Secular/(Socialist) News service, CBC, on the 'Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of The Eucharist', who teach in the USA. The Dominican Sisters of Mary are religious women who desire to love and serve God through the profession of the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist is a Roman Catholic community of women religious founded as a response to Pope John Paul II's call for new religious foundations to embody the graces of the New Evangelization of the third millennium Church. http://www.sistersofmary.org/ http://vocation-station.blogspot.com
