Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

EWTN will be showing a special program entitled THE NUN on Saturday 8pm EST. It is about a swedish girl entering a Carmelite monastery and her life there. It sounds really interesting and I am going to let my 2 oldest watch it with me. For a better explanation of the program click onto EWTN. com and look under TV specials. If anyone knows anymore about it let me know.

thanks.

Stephanie, I taped this and just finished watching it. It was wonderful! I must say I love Marta's family and their farm, family chapel, and their rhythms of prayer. Beautiful!

I really enjoyed it, also. We watched it last night. I would LOVE to learn more from her parents. My dh said he could build that chapel. I told him I should hold him to that!

Hannah and I loved it! Sweden is not a Catholic country and this family found the courage to live their faith so totally dedicated.
Marta was even more beautiful after the solemn vows! She is certainly a very impressive young woman. A great example for our girls...not necessarily to become a carmelite, but the total giving nature she exhibits......
