Found this via MailChimp and I love it! What’s your favorite Batman and Robin moment? I’m rather partial to “Holy Knit One Purl Two!” although I also like “Holy Return from Oblivion!”

Our friend Yvette from the A Nun’s Life Community found this gem. The song is called “I Only Ask of God” by the multinational, hip hop trio Outlandish.

Outlandish is made up of friends Isam Bachiri Azouaoui (Danish born, Moroccan decent), Waqas Ali Qadri Danish born, Pakistani decent), and Lenny Martinez (Honduran born, Cuban decent). They seek to give voice to “the world we live in”. They represent religious diversity (Muslim and Catholic) and proficiency in multiple languages with lyrics in English, Urdu/Punjabi, Danish, Spanish, and Arabic.

The message of this particular song “I Only Ask of God” is powerful. Here’s the first verse:

I only ask of God
He won’t let me be indifferent to the suffering
That the very dried up death doesn’t find me
Empty and without having given my everything

What happens if we truly made this our prayer?

In response to my post about the movie Nun of That, Sister Louise O’Rourke, PDDM, sent me a link to a video she created following a 2-week intensive course of video production in 2004. Sister Louise is a Catholic sister of the Pious Disciples of the Divine Master based in Ireland.

Sister Louise’s goal in creating the video was to challenge the stereotypes of young people toward religious and vice-versa. I think she did a great job. Sister notes that not only is she a real sister, but she did all her own stunts! Also, she notes to ignore the 1st minute of the video as it was the first video exercise she had to do.

Excellent job, Sister Louise! Thank you for sending this. You show that nuns are real people who are dedicated to God and who live and minister as film producers or ninjas while at the same time being contemplative, relevant, joyful, smart women of faith.

I would love for you to get a feel of what Jubilee is like and who our women are. Here’s a flavor!

I am in awe. Can you imagine what it’s like to celebrate 75 years in any life (religious life, married life, teaching, parenting, etc.)? What are you thinking?
