There are a few more of my favorite films playing such as “The Keys of the Kingdom.” It’s an excellent slate... Read more

The power of movies about nuns: “Seeing the Light, Hearing the Call…”

Last updated on: April 5, 2016 at 12:05 pm By Sister Rose

I am so pleased to announce the publication of a superb article at the University of Nebraska’s online Journal for Religion and Film about how movies about nuns influenced many young women in their discernment and decision to enter religious life. The article,” Seeing the Light, Hearing the Call: Women Religious as Spectators and Subjects of Popular Nun Films” is by Professor Maureen Sabine of the University of Hong Kong. It follows her 2013 book: VEILED DESIRES: INTIMATE PORTRAYALS OF NUNS IN... Read more

In “The Story of God,” aired as a six-part series beginning Sunday, Freeman moors himself in Greenwood, Miss., his hometown and source of his family and identity.

‘God’s Not Dead 2’ is an altar call for a militia

Last updated on: April 1, 2016 at 7:59 am By Sister Rose

In a city like many others in the United States, a diverse group of students and faculty go about about their daily routines. The football team bends a knee in prayer and the flag is prominent. In a history class about non-violence to achieve civil rights Brooke (Hayley Orrantia), a junior, asks the teacher Grace Wesley (Melissa Joan Hart) if the teachings of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. are like those of Jesus because they all taught non-violence, stood...

Easter bees enrich Easter Vigil

Last updated on: March 27, 2016 at 9:02 am By Sister Rose

The 2011, the revised English translation of the Roman Missal restored the mention of bees found in the original Latin version of the Exsultet: The Proclamation of Easter. I have no inside information to offer as to why the bees were ever left out of the previous translation. But their return enriches the sensual experience of the Easter Vigil because it engages the imagination and invites us to contemplate God’s creation in the Easter mystery. Perhaps it is because there... Read more
