Shana Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 Sr. Helena Burns fsp gave a great presentation you can watch on ustream, I embedded the video in my latest blog entry and wrote a little in response to it. If you have time you should check it out, very engaging (funny) and informative!

vee Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Thanks for sharing the vid and actually there were so many good points I might have to watch it again when I have time. A bit off topic but she mentions her vocation story and that its really unique, which caught my curiosity, and then she doenst tell it. Do you know if her story is out there anywhere or whats so unique about it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shana Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 I'm sort of curious too, I'll let you know if I find out. I've been corresponding with her on and off since the summer. I talked with Sr. Micheal today about how to best continue my discernment and it looks like Sr. Helena (the one in the video you are talking about) is going to be working with me as I discern so maybe I'll ask her sometime about her story!

vee Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 She`s going to be working with you?! You are so lucky because she seems really wonderful. In fact you might want to hint that she should make a youtube video of her story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 This is a very interesting topic. I, for one, believe that the 'Theology of the Body For Beginners' is an excellent resource and a must read for anyone, including religious. I am currently studying it myself, along with 'The Good News About Sex and Marriage.'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FSM Sister Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 TOB should be required reading for all discerners - marriage, religious life, holy orders... it's all in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinytherese Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Sister Joseph Andrew from the Dominican Sisters of Mary Mother of the Eucharist gives talks about the theology of the body too. I know because she mentioned it during her talk at the beginning of a discernment retreat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shana Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Haha, I don't want to be too pushy...I ask a lot of her as it is and she's a VERY busy woman. But in time I'll let her know that some phatmassers would be very intersted in hearing her story via youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
