Glad to see a testimony from someone from Mother Teresa's congregation, it's important to point out abuses in religious systems. One thing though, it'd be nice if you added subtitles to this video for accessibility purposes, especially since two different languages are spoken throughout the video.
WOW!!! I was a missionary of charity as well .... its a very sick system of manipulation... i spent 9 yrs of my life in that skam. The Universe saved me❤
Between 1960s and 1980s there has been an extensive psychological research done by Fr L.M. Rulla SI on clergymen and religious, which showed that 60-80% of them do not show any development in their psychological sphere during the formation process. Even though Fr. Rulla was a professor of the Gregorian University in Rome, the results of his work are not commonly known in the Church and are not taken into account by those who are in charge of formation. This is very sad.
I am so sad you’ve experienced all this and so amazed you’ve retained your faith. God bless you. Praying for you. You’ve done so much for others. I pray you will continue to love and serve while establishing *yourself* in relationship with him.
What a beautiful, brave woman! I hope all with dispensation went as well, as it could. I wish you all the best, all blessings for your further journey! Solidarity and sympathy from a Sister in Faith, Germany
The mc’s are very, very hardcore. It is a very hard way for anyone from the modern west. The Indian sisters fare much better. I’ve heard this from various bishops. They’ve become very careful about the vocations because it’s been so difficult for non natives. At the same time, some of the things she’s mentioning are too much. Christ didn’t ask us to be masochists. Humans are not infalliable. I am so sad she’s experienced this.
There are so many things wotjin this order that dont make any sense, only those who had live there know. The order received millions of dollars in donations, but sisters keep begging and not paying for buses, food etc. They will make you eat spoil food with the excuse this is for Jesus, if you sre sick they will say its because you just eant to call the attention, sick sisters with cancer wont be taken to the doctor. People in the homes (poor people, women, children, etc) they are not allowed to have washing machines, dryers, good clothing etc, also with the excuse they have to be poor. Sisters sometimes will have good food and the people we serve not. As she says, the Mother Superior was the Word of God, so whatever she said has to be obeyed, even this eas a total crazy nonsense... You cannot share any personal issue, mental problems, sadness, everything will be adressed as : " you are not in a good relationship with Jesus" etc etc
There is a difference between being abused and the calling...she isn't running away, but sometimes orders need to be re-evaluated. They are not perfect. I hope she found happiness...
That’s crazy that they locked doors to prevent sisters from leaving. My old convent was so healthy and always told us we weren’t Tracy and could leave if we weren’t called.
I thank God for sending that priest into your life to help you find your freedom of conscience again. I do not believe Jesus wants us to serve others without the ability to have a sense of self, to express ourselves, to have relationships, to have our own needs met, to be fully human and to pursue our God-given uniqueness. Indoctrination, regimentation, control, silencing, guilting, and shaming destroys spirits. The "suffering servant" is a symbolf of oppression, not love. We serve better in freedom and happiness and we need the support of others. A community must communicate and have positive relationships among all levels. How can we bring joy and peace to others if we cannot have it in our own lives? You are loved!
thank you for your helpful reply. I think there is that in us which is drawn to distortion sometimes and it's good to have this 'list of health' to check!
I’m so sorry that you had this horrendous experience. There are so many beautiful orders to join where you could have flourished. I hope you have a good, happy life now.❤
From what I know when you go out for the service, sent by 2, like in the olden days in Jesus time, the disciples were sent by two. In thought and prayer🙏
Your story touched my heart Sister I’m happy you were able to find your way out this situation 😇 my god bless you with your continued journey 😇 your heart still shines 😊
Pray for all the sisters of Charity and all the missionaries of the world 🌎 it's often difficult to pick up the cross and reject the ways of the world but this is what Christ suffered it takes a lot of Grace to endure to the end and only his love and kindness can't keep us moving and help others find the way
Anna gives a testimony that is not a personal complaint about having a bad time in the congregation she chose, but rather that Anna bears witness to a phenomenon called abuse of conscience, for which she has no responsibility. The victims of abuse of conscience are not guilty of being victims of abuse.
Anna spoke about an aspect that seems very relevant to me, which is the idea of obedience and obedience as a way to reach holiness, united to the place of the superior , supplanting the voice of God. These tree anchors are tremendously harmful, we are speaking of a congregation where there is no abuser with a psychiatric disorder as in a case of Karadima ( Chilean priest),where we have a perverse abuser, a person who intends to dominate the other for his personal good. In this case, the complicated thing is that there is a culture, a culture of beliefs, they are actions linked to this beliefs and that is where the problem is found.
In the catholic context,abuse of conscience is a type of abuse of legal or spiritual power that control the conscience of the victim to the point that abuser,taking place of God,obstructs or nullifies the victim ‘s freedom of judgment and prevents him o her from being alone with God in his o her conscience.This type of abuse is perpetrated by a representative of the church who is endorsed by the church as trustworthy therefore abuse of conscience always has an institutional dimension.
The sisters of Charity are amazing! Are there broken people in there? Or course? I doubt upon leaving she never found another broken person again. There is always the cross. I’m sorry to hear of the bad things that happened, but I’m sure she could have spoken to 1,000,000 changed lives. I am not tough enough to be part of this and I’m not called, but there is no place in this broken world without broken people. I pray for her healing and we all need to pray for the religious who work heroically. We need more dedicated sisters so badly! Our identity is in Christ.
@@chrisobrien6254as a volunteer for nearly 25 years in their soup kitchens in NYC and NJ I can say THEY ARE AMAZING!!! LOVING, PEACEFUL SELFLESS WOMEN!!! my church in NJ supplies the food for a soup kitchen in NJ and one in Harlem and it isn't garbage. To the contrary. And by the way who do you think is feeding and clothing the illegal immigrants on the streets in the inner cities, or the elderly home bound in the inner cities, and running summer day camp for children. It's these women who go into the crack dens to deliver a meal to sick elderly or disabled.." Heaven's Door Dash"! WOULD YOU GO?
But that does not deny that there is terrible spiritual abuse in the religious Orders. The Prior General of the Carthusians, Dom Dysmas de Lassus, published a book recently: Spiritual Abuse in the Orders and Communities of the Catholic Church.
I am very interested to read more about what the priest said about conscience and the self. Please post if any books or talks by him or others that were helpful… :)
Sisters commiting suicide😢😢 imagine how sad life in the Missionaries is. They hide everything in order to avoid scandal. There were so many scandalous deaths in the order😢
Some born again Christians abuse as well. It's sad and makes me angry when people in positions of power, in any denomination perverts the meaning of Christ.
parece muy claro, desde el primer día, que no había vocación. Entrar en las misioneras de la caridad y querere tener tiempo para una misa, espacio personal... es como entrar en la Cartuja y querer pasar el día hablando... no tiene sentido. Entiendo el dolor del fracaso de un proyecto personal, pero ese es el error... confundir eso con la vocación.. Actualmente hay más de 5000 mujeres que viven esa vocación, con sus cruces, pero felices de entregar su vida a Cristo. La que no, que se salga. Pero acusar a una congregación como ellas, con el fruto tan impresionante que han dado, de todo esto... es muy triste, es injusto. Hoy, día de Madre Teresa, le pido por vosotros, le pido por ti Anna. Seguro que ella desde el cielo intercede por tu felicidad y tu camino de santidad.
Estimado, quisiera aportar que el problema no es la falta de vocación. Lo demuestra el deseo de santidad de las religiosas, quienes sin duda, se entregan con heroísmo y abnegación a una causa tan noble. Es lo que hizo Anna. No hay duda que Dios lo tiene en cuenta. El problema está en que las personas que deseamos ser fieles y de verdad entregados, ponemos a las autoridades (superiora, director espiritual, pastor, o quien ejerce la posición de maestro ante un discípulo) en un lugar en nuestra conciencia, donde nadie debería interferir en nuestra relación con Dios. Y ellos, los que están en posición de maestros deben cuidar de evitar eso. Y cuando no lo hacen y comienzan a abusar de esa posición que nosotros mismos les damos, movidos por las virtudes de la obediencia, humildad, renuncia de si mismo, entre otras, nos encontramos con el abuso espiritual y de conciencia. Así se dan las circunstancias como las que describe Anna, que se negó a si misma por amor a Dios, y nadie de la congregación cuidó que no se abusara de eso. Eso fue vocación, y su relato deja claro que se abusó de su entrega. El fruto de las obras de la congregación es muy bueno, pero ¿a qué costo de las religiosas? ¿Es necesario que se las trate como relata Anna? ¿Es lo que quiere Dios? Le hago este aporte con el sincero deseo de aportar una visión de una persona que también vivió el abuso espiritual, en otro contexto, y en el cual también ocurrían cosas muy buenas, pero el líder a quién seguí, se extralimitó ampliamente en su intervención sobre mí, aduciendo que la obediencia era el camino a la santidad. Y fui obediente, de lo cual me alegro. Volvería a vivir mi fe así, pero no en manos de un abusador de conciencia. Pienso que Anna ha sido muy valiente al dar la cara, y está ayudando a que las cosas en la congregación sean mejores, por el bien de la Iglesia , de las hermanas que están hoy ahí, y por los frutos que se esperan de su entrega y abnegada labor.

She's not meant for that life means she deserves to be respected. It's human dignity we are talking here, nobody should be treated that way, whether that person has different color, background or because they are too smart enough to see the errors we blindly ignore. May this abuses come to an end!
Very unkind. She is indeed still living the vocation of every Christian - hearing the will of God and doing it. God may have called her into the Missionaries of Charity and then called her out of it for other purposes. Discerning and following God's lead every day is what a vocation is (vocare = to call); it is not merely a particular way of life. True spirituality helps you develop and become your best self; it does not destroy your personality and spirit. We have a responsibility to be whom God created us to be, not to be how someone else decides we must be to suit their preferences. Being our best selves and finding where we can become our best selves is the reason we were created. Unfortunately, her story is not unique. Those who direct spiritual or religious groups must be very careful to nurture those for whom they are responsible. Mistakes will be made because we are all human, but common sense and kindness should prevail. She was called beyond the Missionaries because her best self is needed elsewhere. That is discipleship and her true vocation.
I agree. She doesn't have the vocation to be a MC. They are tuff. She should just become an active member of the Church where she can be herself. But blaming the MC for her issues is....well is why she isn't suited. Also, she could be a hoax as well.
There were quite a few saints in history who were quite difficult to live with. Sainthood does not equal psychological maturity or an agreeable personality. To name just two, St Jerome and St Alphonsus Liguori were quite problematic in the psychological sphere.
If I am her, I am so ashamed talking this in public. It is not wise. You joined MC by your decision and nobody forced you. You are adult and must know all has consequance. If you are not match with the MC you can off wisely. You can see what I am saying this is like a child.
She’s talking about real difficulties. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. She is doing an incredibly hard, brave, thing. Her heart was pure to love and serve God and others. ‘Hiding scandal’ is not of God.
It is not sinful to share a true and unhealthy experience. It needs to be done for the health of everyone. It doesn’t negate the beauty of Catholicism, vocations, or Mother Teresa.
Entering the congregation means forgetting one's self and following strictly the "VOWS you promised as serving Jesus and following HIS ways".And these are the:...vows to POVERTY,CHASTITY,and HUMILITY.If u can't follow these 3,then you have NO RIGHT to enter that congregation because what u want is a comfortable life.
U are more of a gossiper.Your problem in that congregation can be addressed by writing a letter to your Superior.And these are solved by having a retreat with u together with other sisters and Superiors.Maybe in other countries with mc that happened.All u have to do is write a letter to your Superior if u see someone is abusive.
If these are to be holy women of God, this abuse should have never occurred. The Lord will hold every word, deed and thought accountable on the Day of Judgement. Not even a bishop can overturn God's Word and Judgement.
I spent three years with the Missionaries of Charity and I can identify with this; I hope and pray for your healing and strength
I was a missionary of charity for 18 years. I can agree with all you say. I suffered all kinds of abuse, ridicule and humiliation.

Don’t let anyone dictate what spirituality is for you.
You are a brave and a truthful lady. You will have a life of faith in your own way. Many women will benefit from your interview.
I am so sad you’ve experienced all this and so amazed you’ve retained your faith. God bless you. Praying for you. You’ve done so much for others. I pray you will continue to love and serve while establishing *yourself* in relationship with him.
Such an important story of abuse into healing. May you speak your story whenever and wherever you are asked. Peace.
