Nashville Dominicans: Final Profession of Vows

Here's a beautiful video of final vows for several Nashville Dominicans, including Sr. Gianna (Aggie formerly known as Jen Junker). Sr. Gianna's conversion story is one of the most amazing stories I know.

Watching this video brought tears to my eyes and even a little bit of holy envy. Oh, to have such a beautiful and orderly life to just love God!!!!! I love being a mother and watching this video made me realize I yearn for more order and more time with my Lord in my chosen vocation.

I'm struggling with the order and discipline part. Today I read The Holy Twins: St. Benedict & St. Scholastica to the kids. I made a mental note to look up St. Benedict's rule. I really need to be more self disciplined with my time. My peace and joy are being robbed due to my own laziness. And also misunderstanding of where my joy should really come from - being a daughter of God and nothing else.

Anyways, enjoy this beautiful video!!!!! What beautiful brides of Christ!!
