"I have sought Him whom I love with all my heart." - Response spoken by the novice at her simple (first) profession, the day when a Poor Clare novice truly becomes the Bride of Christ as she professes simple vows of obedience, poverty, chastity and enclosure. Our beloved Sister Maria Antonia of the Holy Wounds of Jesus (formerly Brianna Farens) took her first vows as a Poor Clare in Roswell, NM on November 1. Please continue to pray for Sister Maria Antonia and know that she is keeping our parish in her prayers as well! Her family and friends created a video to publicly share their experience of this sacred moment.
