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.

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
- Fulton Sheen

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

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.
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!
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
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!
Thank you, and forgive me, Jesus!
I think I found my new motto.
“Keep your ears tuned for what she says is her constant prayer.”
I wish I could.
Amazing how her constant prayer resembles the Jesus Prayer.
What a wonderful constant prayer. A truly inspirational lady.
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?
