Can a Nun Doubt the Existence of God?

Last updated on: December 3, 2014 at 8:44 am By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I really looked forward to being on Jennifer Fulwiler's show because we both come from similar backgrounds. She is from the state below the greatest state in the union: Oklahoma. She was an atheist, and I was an atheist. She loves Tupac and I love...The Smiths? Ok, the similarities end there but we had a lot to talk about. Read more

A Real Sister’s Take on #TheSisterhood

Last updated on: November 26, 2014 at 11:45 pm By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I was going to write something about the new show on Lifetime about discerning a vocation to religious life: The Sisterhood. After live tweeting the episode with Elizabeth Scalia, Diana von Glahn and the fabulous Daughters of St. Paul postulants, I had a few thoughts. But everyone beat me to the punch. Sorry, I was too busy making pecan pumpkin rum pie… One thing most of us had in common was that we were all surprised to actually like the show. I was definitely prepared to dislike it. Sure, there... Read more

Top Ten Books for Fallen-Away Catholics

Last updated on: March 9, 2015 at 6:00 pm By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I asked some of my former fallen-away Catholic friends for ideas and I came up with what I think is a pretty good list of books that do not have Catholic messages that are so obvious that our loved ones will roll their eyes and add it to the "So-and-so wants to convert me" section in their bookcase. Instead, I picked books that communicate the grace and mystery of our faith in a way that is subtle, attractive and respectful. Read more

Soul of Christ: Meditations on a Timeless Prayer

Last updated on: November 14, 2014 at 8:40 am By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

As I lifted the Host closer, I could see how thin that Host was, how frail! A piece had broken off so that the Host was not perfectly round. It was even crumbly around the edges. Like me, I realized. Something shifted inside of me. If Jesus could transform such a humble thing as a broken wafer of bread into His Body, couldn’t He transform me? Read more
