The Interns of EMC showed our support for the Sisters of Life last Thursday, when we attended their Profession of Vows. I have never seen so many nuns in one place at one time! Their faces radiated joy, peace, and love! The ceremony was very moving. Three Sisters said their Temporary Vows and two more Sisters made their Permanent Vows.
From the Sisters of Life website, "The Sisters of Life is a contemplative / active religious community of women founded in 1991 by John Cardinal O’Connor for the protection and enhancement of the sacredness of every human life. Like all religious communities, we take the three traditional vows of poverty, chastity and obedience. We also are consecrated under a special, fourth vow to protect and enhance the sacredness of human life."
We work with the Sisters on a regular basis, referring clients in need to live with them in 'Holy Respite', in one of their Convents. We were honored to prayerfully cheer the Sisters on, as they followed the path that God had set out for them!
