Episode 3: The Power of Prayer

Synopsis:

How important is prayer? How powerful is it? How much does it affect us here on our Native Soil? Our first bishop Michael Portier really believed in prayer. So much so, at the onset of his ministry, he worked hard to bring the Visitation Sisters to Mobile—cloistered nuns who would dedicate themselves above all to saturate our Native Soil with prayer. Meet Sr. Rosemarie as she walks us through the rich history of the Visitation here in Mobile, their mission, and how the Lord brought her to Mobile to be a part of their prayer for all of us.

Dig In Further:

Have you ever visited the Visitation Monastery in Mobile? Any cloistered monastery? If not, consider making a visit and spending some time in prayer on this sacred soil. Also, take some time to prepare some prayer requests relevant to your family, parish and our Native Soil. Bring them to the sisters so that can “go to work” lifting up your intentions to the Lord.

Have you ever tried “Heavenly Hash” made by a nun? If not, it's time to TREAT YO SELF!!!

Does the contemplative…cloistered life challenge you in any way? How? Have you ever considered such a calling? If not, could you open your heart to the Lord…to give him the chance to call to be a powerful intercessor for all of us here in the Archdiocese of Mobile?

How can you structure your life more to include moments of prayer? How can you safeguard these moments? You will have to truly believe in the power of prayer for your good and that of many others.
