OnlySunshine Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) The Carmelite Monastery of the Holy Cross located in Iron Mountain, MI has a new website and my visit to it revealed that they have posted some beautiful videos. The videos relate the story of the life of a Carmelite candidate from postulancy to solemn profession and is told by a Sr. Sarah who later becomes Sr. Christina of the Heart of Mary. I recognized the background music as being the soundtrack from one of my favorite movies, [i][b]Therese[/b][/i] (2004). I encourage [u]anyone[/u] with a call to religious life, especially to the Carmelites, to view these videos on their website. I was in tears during the second video because of how the Sisters' prayer life can assist the world in its grievances. I was so glad to see them.

Mary's Margaret Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Thank-you so much for posting this, MM. It is absolutely beautiful. I only had time to watch the first video, but am looking forward to the rest when I next have time to savour it. Carmel speaks so deeply to my heart *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyOfSorrows Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 PS- What is the third to last song on the second video? It's not from the Therese soundtrack, and I know I've heard it before! I think it's a hymn.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
