Carmelite nun experiences trials on pathway to consecrated life
Pope Francis has designated The Year for Consecrated Life to celebrate the life and ministry of religious men and women who serve Christ and the Church. The year begins the weekend of Nov. 29-30, and ends on Feb. 2, 2016, the World Day of Consecrated Life. To begin this year, we feature a story about Discalced Carmelite Sister Marianna So, who lives a hidden life in the Monastery of St. Joseph in Terre Haute. (Page 9)
