Sr. Miriam, thank you for speaking the truth with so much passion and "real-ness" :)
That message of authentic love has been on our hearts recently. We feel a burden for many young girls we know struggling so much in search of that but are buried in so much anger or feelings of insecurity. Do you have retreats or such that they can attend? Would you be willing to come speak to them/us? Please? :)

Sister Miriam....I just finished watching the June 2nd episode of Life on the Rock which featured you speaking. Thank you for saying YES to the Lord and your vocation as a Religious Sister. You said so many great and beautiful things. I pray many more young people will view the show. May God continue to bless you and your religious order.
I'm watching it right now! It's quite a wonderful segment and I look forward to passing it along to others.

Sister, I am currently discerning religious communities and I found your video on my recommended for you page on youtube. I told my mom about your order and she said to me "Betsy you need to stop finding so many orders that fit you so well. You can only enter one!" I honestly have no idea where God will lead in the future except that He has given me a desire to evangelize through building relationships. I'm really excited to be in contact with your community. Please keep me in prayer as I continue to discern His will. JMJDTF+ ~Betsy
It is with a heavy and incredulous heart that I post the news that our beloved Father, Fr. Santan Pinto, died suddenly in a car accident after just arriving for a home visit in India. Apparently, Fr. Pinto was the passenger in a car that was struck and he died instantly. A Bishop in India, the Bishop of Belgaum, has contacted our community and confirmed this sorrowful news. Fr. Pinto's funeral will be tomorrow in India. It's interesting, you know, after just posting Father's Christmas message yesterday and then posting the clip by Fr. Barron about the true nature of Advent, we never know when God will take us home. The media and secular society loves to mock celibacy and the priesthood but it's easy to see that Fr. Pinto has more spiritual children than those people ever will. God will not be mocked. Father was a priest who was faithful to the end, who loved God more than anything and made countless sacrifices for his many spiritual children. To say that he will b...
When I first heard the song Do I Love You Because You're Beautiful in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella , I pondered it for a long time. The setting in the musical is the royal palace garden and the Prince has just seen Cinderella and danced with her. He is captivated by her beautiful form and finds himself falling in love with her. He then begins to sing "Do I love you because you're beautiful or are you beautiful because I love you?" Obviously fairy tales speak a deep meaning and are meant to be more than just a superficial story, and so it is with this song. Philosophers and theologians from of old have heralded beauty (ultimately Divine Beauty) as the attraction of our souls. We are attracted to beauty. But there is another, deeper, aspect to love. Love makes things beautiful. When love is placed in a situation, it invites and elicits beauty. What may appear "ugly" to someone on the surface, is beautiful to the one who loves. This is why ...
There is has been a lot of push these past couple of years by the Merck drug company and certain organizations to administer a vaccine, targeting young girls, called Gardasil. Gardasil supposedly "protects" young women from acquiring the human papillomavirus (HPV) virus, the most common sexually transmitted disease, that can cause cervical cancer. Keep in mind that HPV is an STD, acquired from skin to skin contact. Keep in mind that this vaccine is completely unnecessary because one cannot contract an STD without being sexually intimate with someone. Keep in the mind the message we are giving to 12 year old girls when we vaccinate them. Now read the truth about the vaccine here. Not only does the vaccine not protect against all forms of cervical cancer, it has seriously harmed and killed some of the young women who received this "safe and harmless" vaccine. This path of "vaccination" and "safe sex" as a cure for moral errancy is NOT the ...
