Ep. 25: Beauty – The Radiance of God's Truth and Goodness (Sr. Rene Noel, O.P.)

Why does beauty move us to tears? And what does a starlit sky have to do with our salvation? Sr. Rene Noel sits down with Sr. Miriam to discuss beauty as the radiance of God's truth and goodness. Raised among the mountains and ponderosa pines of Flagstaff, Arizona, Sr. Rene Noel shares how a childhood immersed in the beauty of creation opened her heart to the Creator Himself. The conversation flows from art to music to holiness, and the episode closes with a special treat: the two Sisters singing together.

Ep. 24: Stay Close to Jesus – Who is the Eucharist? (Sr. Mary Martha, O.P.)

It's not just a symbol. It's the source and summit of our Faith. Sr. Mary Martha joins Sr. Miriam to discuss the Eucharist, why the Eucharistic was so pivotal in her own vocation journey, and what it means for Jesus Christ to be fully present – body, blood, soul, and divinity – in a piece of bread. The Sisters will also make a quick call to our friend, Father Joe Malia, to discuss the concept of a Eucharistic Revival and what he's doing in Detroit to ignite a love for this Sacrament.   Learn more about the Rising from the Ashes Revival [https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=e175b32679f7f2822566071791a088cc8c33d5f61d9156294f41b8b8d0f5bf57JmltdHM9MTc4MzM4MjQwMA&ptn=3&ver=2&hsh=4&fclid=0278fd45-0464-63c2-3dcc-ea110522622d&psq=rising+from+the+ashes+revival&u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly9yaXNpbmdyZXZpdmFsLm9yZy8&ntb=1] Join the Openlight Media Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.tiktok.com/@openlight.media] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/openlightmedia] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.facebook.com/openlightmediaproductions] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.youtube.com/@OpenlightMedia] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter/X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://x.com/Openlightmedia] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://openlightmedia.com/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Download the Torch App⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://openlightmedia.com/torch-app/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Teachers Pay Teachers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/store/education-in-virtue] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pinterest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.pinterest.com/openlightmediaproductions/] ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linktree⁠ [https://linktr.ee/openlight.media]

Ep. 21: From Moscow to the Motherhouse – Dominican Martyrs Under Communism (Sr. Maria Gemma, O.P.)

Every Sister has a beautiful, unique story of how they became a bride of Christ...but not many of them can say they walked by the headquarters of the KGB to attend Mass at the height of Communist rule. For Sr. Maria Gemma, that was just one of many highlights in her journey to the convent. Along the way, she discovered a deep love for the Moscow Dominicans, a fascination with Russian literature, and a calling that could only be satisfied by Christ Himself.
