You Cannot Choose Your Cross w/ Sr. Mary Grace of the Sisters of Life

Christina Sabo sits down with Sister Mary Grace, S.V. of the Sisters of Life, for a Lenten conversation on discernment, religious life, and the courage to say yes to God. Sister Mary Grace traces her journey from Sydney, Australia, including walking away from an Olympic rugby dream and to entering the convent. She shares her personal relationship with Cardinal George Pell and her contribution to Remembering George Cardinal Pell, published by Ignatius Press. She closes with a moving reflection on how we move from resisting our crosses to receiving them with trust.Chapters00:01: Welcome & Introduction01:42: Opening Prayer02:34: Sister Mary Grace's Background & Fiat06:39: Discerning Religious Life & the Olympic Dream09:53: The Sisters of Life: Mission & Charism14:43: How to Begin Discerning Religious Life17:07: The Viral Ascension Presents Video19:46: Remembering George Cardinal Pell23:01: Cardinal Pell's Legacy & Witness in Suffering25:56: Moving from Resisting to Receiving the Cross29:08: Closing & BlessingsResources MentionedRemembering George Cardinal Pell: Recollections of a Great Man of the Church – Ignatius PressSisters of LifeSisters of Life Answer the Internet's Top Questions About Nuns – Ascension PresentsProduced by Saint Kolbe StudiosSend us Fan MailSupport the showFollow Paloma & Fig on Facebook, Instagram & LinkedIn.
