Beloved The Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia (2009)

The love that God has for the soul is like that which the bridegroom has for his bride In the heart of the Bible Belt in Tennessee the Dominican Sisters of St Cecilia have fully embraced that love in the living of their vows and apostolic life for 150 years Like their patron the virgin martyr Cecilia the Nashville Dominicans promise their heart to Christ and it is His voice that fills their ears and secures their promise to be His alone This joyful holy community radiates their love for Christ and neighbor revealing in this compelling film what it means to live the consecrated life as both a contemplative and a teacher They manifest to the world that religious life is all about love and joy but a love that is different and unique It is a love that is eternal
