Consecration to Perpetual Virginity || Maggie Hartman - Diocese of Lafayette, IN
A consecrated woman is a woman in the Catholic Church who has been set aside to live as a bride of Jesus. She will never marry a man; instead, she gives her heart entirely to God and lives a life of prayer and service for Him alone.
While there are a few different ways of being consecrated in the Church, the vocation to consecrated virginity is one in which a virgin lives the rest of her life as Christ’s bride, while remaining in the secular world. She doesn’t wear a habit, change her name, use the title “Sister,” or live in a convent under vows of poverty and obedience. Instead, her only outward sign of her vocation is the ring she receives at her consecration, symbolizing her commitment to God and God’s eternal fidelity to her.
A woman is consecrated by her diocesan bishop in a rite celebrated at the diocese’s cathedral, ideally on a Marian feast day. During this Mass, she promises to persevere in the state of virginity to death and to live to be a witness to the reality that all the faithful will eventually belong to God alone in heaven one day.

She's a sign of contradiction to our world that has lost its way, may God bless and keep you dear sister!
I am a cradle Catholic who has had opportunities to witness so many touching and inspiring moments and places of grace in our Church. This! This is the most beautiful and amazing thing I have ever seen! Wow! And, thank you to everyone whose ‘yes’ brought this into being.
How beautiful! Congrats to this lovely young woman! If only more young people knew more about this vocation.

If more people become nuns there will be nobody there to give birth and the earth will extinct
May God Bless this young lady. You’re a shinning light in the darkness of naysayers and doubters who don’t understand. You are light, you are love . Keep shinning ✨
As a Protestant, this is wonderful and inspirational to see. I pray God blesses this woman and her commitment to Him.

Prayers for a blessed and happy vocation Maggie 🤗 Jesus and all of us love your happy smile.
Beautiful, sister! May God bless you abundantly!

Moved me to tears! God Bless you dear sister in your journey!❤
I disagree a lot with the Catholic faith, but this is something I can get behind. Beautiful ceremony, and meaning.

This ceremony isn't Biblical! One of the first commandments given to Adam and Eve is to multiply and replenish the earth 🌎. God's children need to be born and receive bodies for resurrection! Sexual functions are natural for the reproduction of children to married loving couples! There is no such thing as perfection in this life ❗️They perform this ceremony all around the world, lots of young women marrying Jesus Christ, this is polygamy! None of this is Biblical. It would be better for her to fall in love and marry a righteous man and have children so they can have bodies for resurrection. Children in the world 🌎 need good parents that love ❤️ God! It's not normal for people to give up on love in life , this is why we have been given marriage between a man and a woman! Each to their own but this goes against God's teachings to Adam and Eve! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
It’s beautiful. I pray you will grow closer and closer to God through your commitment and know him completely. What a beautiful service.

This is polygamy! Every Nun is married to Jesus Christ 🙏🏻 this practice is not in the Bible at all! Catholics practice many traditions that are not Biblical at all ! Including taking a vow of chastity, that's not in the Bible either ❗ In fact one of the very first comments that's given to Adam and Eve, is to multiply and replenish the Earth 🌎 so God's children could be born and receive bodies for resurrection! Praying to Mary, counting rosary beads, and getting baptized with sprinkles of water 💦 are not in the Bible either ❗

Zijn Geest in ons maakt mogelijk, wat wij voor onmogelijk houden. Zullen we samen bidden? ‘Dat U ons vernieuwt, is zo hoopvol. Dat betekent dat wat er is gebeurd in ons leven, niet langer bepalend is voor onze toekomst. We willen onze focus op U richten en niet op de verschrikkelijke momenten in ons leven. U maakt ons weer heel. In de naam van Jezus. Amen.’
No. I'm not crying.
Amazing
I believe the religious live in a higher strata than us, and I am thankful for them.
Made me tear up ❤🥲
This appears to be a very traditional parish, and that should speak volumes as to precisely why we need to return to tradition, because it is bringing more vocations, and the Lord is deeply at work in these tradition minded dioceses and parishes, which are growing and bringing in young people even more than those which are not. Which parish and diocese is this? Who is the bishop? Please let me know.

@@karlheven8328i think you shouldn't be dismissing or boxing people like that, or treating something that is small "t" as a big "T" or dogmatic. Laymen giving out hand communion is allowed. If the parish and priest are reverent, and the community is thriving and growing, we should give thanks and celebrate small wins. Keep improving for sure, but we shouldn't be dismissing the many wins and only look at the few/one negative. If you ain't happy with laymen giving out hand communion, then talk to the priest and parish council, but do it with a merciful heart, and know that it's a slow and long game. And maybe he's only 1 priest?

@@IsabellaN777 I don't know what you are talking about regarding your first sentence. Yes, laymen giving out hand communion is allowed. But I've been at both NO and TLM masses with normal communion being the standard. It makes the experience so much better. When hand communion becomes the standard and you are the only one kneeling down it is a very depressing feeling given that this is all due to the practical encouragement and could change instantly if you just let the communion take place before the altar and not almost in the middle of the hall which is problematic in itself. And then the laymen should be properly dressed and by the side of the priest and a large kushion on the floor so that it is truly done in a devout way... That should be the standard as many parishes do that already anyways. The form of the eucharist being conducted is paramount for a deeper inner religious life. I was Protestant two months ago I just converted in Germany (but have been going to mass regularly before) Being protestant and catholic should feel distinctly different!
Beautiful.
Inspiring to say the least.
God be with you Señorita.
" He chooses some of us to be his own"....Jesus chooses everyone to abide with Him. He claims us all for Himself.
