Oprah's Sisters

Oprah ( no last name necessary) is interviewing a group of sisters, the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, for her TV show next week. The Anchoress ( no last name necessary) is a big fan of theirs, by the way, and also has more info.

I think this is just terrific. The fact that Winfrey is bringing these gals on during February sweeps is telling -- she knows that they'll be a draw, and that she's offering something the world rarely sees, and probably doesn't quite understand. I'm sure she has a lot of questions, and I have no doubt she'll get some great answers.

And there's this: when was the last time a global audience of tens of millions -- the majority of them, women -- actually saw on television a group of happy nuns? Who knows what kind of impact that could have, on vocations or on evangelization.

Dominican Sisters of Mary to Appear on Oprah Tuesday, February 9, 2010

Check your local listings for times and stations, and please join us in praying that God will bring much spiritual fruit out of this experience.

The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist is a Roman Catholic community of women religious founded as a response to Pope John Paul II’s call for new religious foundations to embody the graces of the New Evangelization of the third millennium Church.

Through profession of the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, along with a contemplative emphasis on Eucharistic adoration and Marian devotion, our community exists for the salvation of souls and the building of the Church throughout the world.

Our apostolate, as spiritual mothers, is the preaching and teaching of Truth.

While our Motherhouse is in Ann Arbor, Michigan, our apostolic endeavors frequently bring us to other parts of the United States and beyond. We invite you to learn more about our involvement in the New Evangelization through this website.

Considering her whole earth, Gaia perspective on life for the previous 11 months, she gives us Nuns for sweeps month? Brilliant.

Move over, God. Oprah's in the house.

Godspeed, Sisters.

Wow! New Age Oprah put on a bunch of God fearing women?

I’m speechless.

Good for her.

Our homeschool Little Flowers group just toured their convent.
I would love if either or both of my daughters joined their order.

Let’s hope the Sisters tell O - in no uncertain terms - Jesus is The Way - the ONLY WAY!

For those of us who work, hopefully someone will post it to YouTube.

Prayers for the good Sisters that they will inspire others to follow in their footsteps.

And they wear habits! Woohoo!

I got the e-mail about this. I think this is just awesome, unless Oprah has something nefarious up her sleeve.
