I've seen this video many times and it's one of my favorites. How sincere and pious all the sisters were. I believe the monastery was closed at some point and I often wonder what became of the young novice. She was so dear and thrilled at the thought that she would spend the rest of her life...

I also want to say congratulations to her family! Sr. Anne Marie is certainly a blessing to all those who know her and love her, and to all of us who pray for her for her steadfastness and fidelity. May she pray for us, too.

What a beautiful video. Such a privilege to be a witness to Sr. Anne Marie's Solemn and Final Profession. A joyful occasion to be sure! God bless and reward her!

What a beautiful ceremony. I wish I could have been there. Thank you, Mother Irene and Sr. Anne Marie for sharing this video of your most blessed day. God bless you and I continually pray for you both and for future Veronicas!

A very inspiring newsletter. I especially appreciated our Carmelites reiteration of the Mass as a Sacrifice, NOT a communal meal! So good to hear of all the progress as well with the Hermitage. I especially am praying for more vocations! Thank you, Mother Irene and Sr. Anne Marie!

Very well done, Sisters. Thank you so much for putting it simply and succinctly the differences between the Mass of All Ages and the Novus Ordo protestant mass. I hope you can do more videos for us covering all kinds of topics like this. We need good Catholic teaching!

As one who grew up in the post-conciliar era and watched as my mother and father struggled with the changes in the Church, it grieves me to think how many were left bereft of the only Mass they had ever known. My mother was a convert from Lutheranism and I know that she was never comfortable...

I appreciate this article as it succinctly puts into words the main difference(s) between the Mass of all Ages and the post-conciliar "Mass". My mother, a convert from Lutheranism, was heartbroken over the changes in the church. I look forward to more articles in the future.

It is such a blessing to see the cells going up for those discerning their vocation with you, Mother Irene! I know that "if you build it, they will come!" God is so good! Such progress in just a year! I am including the Carmelites of the Holy Face and all their special intentions in my St...

Oh, and it was so good to read all the latest news from the hermitage! Especially about the visiting priest and Georgina's visit to discern her vocation! So good to hear about more cells coming and the repairs on the house progressing! Deo Gratias!

I so appreciate Mother's writing about Purgatory. So beautifully written! We don't hear enough about it these days, not even from the pulpit. But how wonderful to think of God's mercy and to realize that these souls we pray for will someday pray for us when they reach Heaven! I pity those who do...

Thank you so much for posting these, Prof. Scott. I am looking forward to reading this as I have always felt somewhat intimidated when reading St. John of the Cross.

Very interesting, Samuel, thank you!

I appreciate you dealing with this matter so prudently, Samuel. I found his posts to be a great distraction from the generally spiritual direction of this forum.

Fr. MacDonald, I really enjoyed reading this issue of The Broken Wheel! Very informative! Thank you for sharing it here. Are issues 1 & 2 available?

Thank you so much, Fr. MacDonald and Samuel. I am looking forward to reading this!

I quite agree with you that the many imperfections of His friends wound the Sacred Heart of Jesus more deeply than do the grave faults of His enemies. But, my dear brother, it seems to me that it is only when these failings spring forth from habit, and are not regretted, that He can say: "What...

It is such a beautifully made video. I loved seeing the daily life of our dear Carmelites. God bless them and keep them safe.
