Really cool nun video

Here is a great video which I pick up from the best Catholic weekly in the UK, The Catholic Herald.

What a delightful lady. Keep your ears tuned for what she says is her constant prayer.

    Very cool. A nun that old, and she still prays her office, wears her habit, and wants to see the Pope. Sounds like nuns I know who are in their 20’s.

  2. What a blessing to see and hear this nun…this holy woman. She looks younger than her 103 years. My mother in law is 92 and Sister looks a lot younger than she does.

    May God continue to bless Sister abundantly!

    Introibo ad altare Dei,
    Ad Deum qui laetificat juventutem mean.

    Old? No!
    Holy contemplative nuns dedicated to a life of prayer ….. actually get younger with age.
    Believe it!

    Lovely Sister! And she really does look young for her age!

  5. The Egyptian says:

    I’m sure some polyester nightmare would claim she is deluded and actually hates her habit and cloister. NOT
    God bless her, the world needs many many more like her, a true blessing and maybe the last hope for mankind

    She would be joy to meet and know

    Thank you for posting this. She is beautiful in every way.

    There is hardly a line on her face, and at the age of 103, no less! God bless her!
    I hope she gets to meet Papa Benedict next month! That will be quite a meeting if it happens!

    aaarrrggghhhh! I can’t believe the narrator mispronounced Cistercian! used to hear the order’s name mangled all the time in the early days at this school http://www.cistercian.org

  9. Paul says:

    God bless this holy woman and grant her more years to intercede for the world!

    “Thank you and forgive me!” God bless this beautiful nun! She is vivacious and full of joy! What a blessing to live your life for God “without envy” and constantly in prayer! Thank you Fr Z for sharing!

  11. Singing Mum says:

    Thank you, and forgive me, Jesus!
    I think I found my new motto.

  12. Jacob says:

    “Keep your ears tuned for what she says is her constant prayer.”

    I wish I could.

  13. Art says:

    Amazing how her constant prayer resembles the Jesus Prayer.

  14. stjmen says:

    What a wonderful constant prayer. A truly inspirational lady.

  15. Widukind says:

    Wonderful, powerful.
    The profundity of her innocence.
    The ineffability of her sincerity.
    The effervesence of her love.

    Notice the title of the book she’s reading: What’s a girl like you doing in a place like this?
