This Friday, A Nun’s Life is hosting our third Community Podcast on Saints, Food, and Prayer. Our community podcasts are free-for-all opportunities for you all to come up with a topic and the content for a podcast which Sister Maxine and I host. The first two we had were Thanksgiving rituals, food, and prayers and Advent and Christmas rituals, food, and prayers. Various readers and listeners of A Nun’s Life community joined us live on the air or sent things in ahead of time.
Here’s how you can participate in the Saints, Food, and Prayer community podcast. We invite you to join us for the live show this Friday at 6:45 p.m. Central Time (your timezone). All you have to do is show up here at our website http://aNunsLife.org and when we go live, the audio will start playing on any page of our website. If you’d like to read or participate in the simultaneous chat, go directly to http://anunslife.org/live.
We’d love for you to add your voice to the on-air discussion by telling us about your favorite saint. Here’s how that works: you pick a saint (e.g., Teresa of Avila) , tell us who she or he is (She’s from Avila, Spain … she was a Carmelite nun and Doctor of the Church … she wrote about prayer) and why the saint is important to you (e.g., she’s helped me in my life as a nun, she is a companion in prayer). Then you can offer an interesting tidbit about the person, a prayer or quote written by or about the saint, or (because we tend to chat about food after our evening podcasts as we are preparing for supper) a food item or recipe relevant to the saint or her/his native land (e.g., a recipe for Pan de Horno — Spanish bread — that you tried or would like to try)
A few folks have already tagged their saint (I know Suze claimed Teresa of Avila) … but alas my list has disappeared. So, for all, please let Sister Maxine and I know who you’d like to share about. We’d like to have you share on the air with us (about 5-7 minutes) so you can call us (will give number out at beginning of podcast) or you can send us a private email with your phone number and we’ll call you!
Sister Max and I haven’t decided who we are going to talk about yet so stay tuned!

Hi sisters,
Dibs on Ste Thérèse de Lisieux. I can’t wait! See you all on Friday.
Just got notice: Saint Thecla for Beege, Saint Syncletica for Julia. Any one else?
St Rita for me. Will try to make it on fri *kept forgetting the time difference*
Dibs on Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque. I’ll try to come up with something creative regarding food, however, I ask all of the food experts to go easy on me as I don’t cook or bake. Yep … I admit to being a microwave expert.
See all tonight for prayer.
Peace,
Kathleen
Thanks for signing up! No need to do a related food item unless you wish. You can do any “add-on” such as a prayer, quote, cool image or music. Be creative! If need help with how to share it during the podcast, just let me know and we’ll figure it out! Nuns + creativity + technology + inspiration = anything possible!
Sister Julie,
Thanks for your offer. Guidance is much appreciated, as this will be my first Saint, Food, and Prayer Community podcast.
Should I follow your guide above and just answer who, why important, tidbit, prayer and/or quote?
Perhaps it would be beneficial for me to listen/learn this time around and then… contribute on next podcast.
Whatever you decide, I’ll be brave and participate “on air” if you still have an open space. I’ll forward my phone# via email.
Peace,
Kathleen
Thanks, Kathleen! Responded via email. Prayers with you and your dad.
