Five Signs You’re Pope of Your Own Church

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

Five Points: The Catholic Church & Islam

Last updated on: November 7, 2014 at 8:58 am   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

Some will no doubt consider this post to be an example of pluralism for its own sake, political correctness and/or naïveté. The Church’s teachings can at times come across as backwards, harsh and old-fashioned and at other times schmaltzy and idealistic. That’s the cross of being Catholic; we hang in the balance... Read more

EXODUS: Gods and Kings – First Impressions

Last updated on: November 5, 2014 at 12:49 pm   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I assume the character development of Moses is better than what I saw in a few disconnected scenes. I’m just hoping that Christian Bale doesn’t play a Moses who is a huffy vigilante with anger problems for the majority of the movie. Read more

Evangelization is more about attraction than it is about anything else. When we have loved ones who are away from the Church, God asks us to become holy so that we may give glory to God and attract others to him in the Church. Read more

Last updated on: October 28, 2014 at 8:36 pm   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

To attract others to the Church we need to allow Jesus to change us first. When we surrender to God’s transforming power in our own lives, we authentically invite others into the mystery of redemption and sanctification made available to us through Jesus present in his Church. Read more

Best Thing About Sr. Christina’s Cover of “Like a Virgin”? Madonna Watched It.

Last updated on: January 11, 2015 at 8:14 pm   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

I grew up in an anti-Madonna household. My parents did not approve of the pop singer and her hunger for constant scandal, so her songs were banned in my house, which of course meant that I tried my best to listen to them to see what the fuss was about.

#MediaNuns Need Your Help to Spread the Gospel

Last updated on: October 26, 2014 at 12:27 pm   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

OUR ANNUAL WEBATHON BEGINS NOW! – October 22-November 2 When I was a discerner, thinking about becoming a religious sister, I visited a lot of convents. When I first visited the motherhouse of the Daughters of St Paul in Boston, I said to the vocation director, “I like that you have a bunch of mismatched mugs in the cafeteria.” She laughed but then became serious and said, “We live simply, it is how our founder would have wanted it.” Later I... Read more
