Ask Sister podcast is a live podcast where you have the opportunity to engage with us and ask questions about nuns, prayer, religious life, or pretty much anything in between!
Here are some of the questions we addressed in this Ask Sister podcast:
- Can Catholic sisters be in the military or national guard?
- What makes a particular abode a “convent”?
- How does one find the knotted cord that Franciscans wear?
- I’m feeling down and have no motivation unless I become a nun. What do I do?
- Why be Catholic if there other ways to get to heaven?
- Do you find your lives particularly stressful? When you are stressed, what do you do? How do you cope with the unknown?
Today we’ll be joined by special guest Sister Donna Hart, IHM. We’ll ask Sister Donna about her life as a Catholic sister, and in particular what it was like to experience life as a sister before the Second Vatican Council, during the Council and now 40+ years later.
