- On March 18th of this year, the Poor Clare Order celebrated the 8th Centenary of the investiture of St. Clare . At our monastery, we were able to celebrate in the best possible way: by having an investiture ceremony ourselves! Postulant Joscelyn Voight followed in the footsteps of our Mother St. Clare and became Sister Mary Angelique of the Infant Jesus. This video shows the simple, yet dramatic and symbolic transformation of a Poor Clare postulant into a white veiled novice. For more information, please visit our website at www.poor-clares.org
Prayers for Sister Mary Angelique, the Poor Clares, and all of God's servants. You are all the shining example of sacrifice, Christian joy, and prayer for generations to come.
I think your smile says it all sister, god bless you in your vocation. St Clare please look after our dear Claire in heaven, a kindly soul taken by cancer, and only just a mother, the tears we have cried only reflect our love for her, God rest her Soul with all the blessed saints and her loving faithful Irish family in Heaven.
Such a beautiful ceremony. I long to be this close to Christ. God Bless all who choose this vocation in the service of our Lord Jesus Christ. For he is truly the master and through him can such a peace be found........🙏
A beautiful video. She looks so happy. I pray God will bless her and use her in mighty ways for His glory and the glory of His son, Jesus. Loved the music. Peace to all of you.
God does not exist.
@@sophiaw.7356 God is all around even around you. Like it or not,
@@Brenda1371 I am so extremely curious. What do you mean with "God" ? A human being like we are? ( made in his likeness as the Bible make believe) A male? A penis? Or do you mean GOOD? LOVE? When you mean good and love i can agree. Do not forget evil! It is all within us, human beings. Or do you really think there is a devil red with horns and a burning hell? A heaven where billions of people admiring one single male? Being eternally bored in light? Tell me please, because i do not understand.
@@Brenda1371 EVEN around me??? How extremely pretentious you are. I don't think your god will allow you to be that pretentious!
@@sophiaw.7356, you're weird!
Sister Angelique is doing well. We have 4 postulants, Sarah being the youngest.
The joy on her face is so beautiful to see. She looks radiant!
For us, this is a very meaningful part of the ceremony. By giving up our hair, we say that we are totally given to Christ, body and soul.
I understand that, even though it's hard. Another idea of what to do with the hair, to donate it to a cause that makes wigs for those who lose their hair, either temporary or permanent.
Wishing you a great perseverance in your vocation. Do not give up when difficult moments come. I know what I do say. Your faithfulness and living of your vowes fully is the greatest gift you can bring to your God. Take care.
I have for many years held St..Francis & St.. Clare in my heart. One of my sons is called Mark Francis and my youngest daughter (55 April 20,2017), Michele Clare.
God Bless all of you - I ask your prayers for me & my family. Beautiful video!
THANK GOD THE WOMEN TOOK CHARGE OF THIS BEAUTIFUL CEREMONY -- AS THEY SHOULD. WISH MORE WOMEN'S COMMUNITIES DID SO.
"Come, my Beloved, and abandon thy family and father's household, for the King of Glory has desired your beauty! Enter His courts with praise and thanksgiving for He has chosen you to be His true love, serve Him with gladness and joy! He is my true Spouse and divine lover...He is now Mine and I am His...always and forever! AMEN!
I have to visit someday, my heart is filled with joy. Sawadee Khap Khop Khun Khap.🤠🙏
Thank you for your kind comment! I hope and pray that the Lord will bless you. Sister Angelique is still smiling one year later.
She's so happy!
And continues so! She made her Solemn Profession last year.
I come back to this video every so often and it stirs something deep in my heart each time. I have a deep love for Franciscan spirituality and the Poor Clares. Our Lord seems to be calling me to a Franciscan order and I feel like I can’t wait much longer. Pray for me please!
Also, what is the name of the music in this video? It’s beautiful.
So sweet! How is your discernment process going so far? :D
Yes, and thank you sister for your response to Daniel.
We are mystical brides of Jesus. We are living symbols of what the Church is called to be. It is near impossible to explain this to those who do not wish to understand.
how is Sister Mary Angelique ....this is such a wonderful video.......
i will be entering another Poor Clare monastery in feb 2016
+me mine , she is doing fine! I just uploaded a new video of her First Profession that took place last year. What monastery are you entering?
I wish you all BLESSINGS AND PEACE in your vocation to serve our Lord and his most Blessed Mother! PAX VOBISCUM
+Ester Regina
how is Sister Mary Angelique? Did she make her final forever vows?
No, not yet! We will let you know when that happens. She is doing well.
I am so happy for you and your intended vocation!
I pray that she still feels the joy of that day...God bless you Sr. Angelique.
Lovely, I remember my Profession nearly three years ago. Wonderful wonderful wonderfilled. Blessings. BR Francis Mary

Did you have your shoes removed & had your hair clipped as well?
Thank you so Much for Sharing this Special moments. God Bless you All.
God bless you sisters especially Sister Angelique on your new journey with the Lord.
Thank you all for your wonderful contributions!
...it points us to living only for God's love. It shows us that nothing is too hard to give up of for God. Celibacy shows married people what is the goal of their marriage (to be God's completely, to be united with him in heaven) and marriage shows consecrated people how great is God's love. In marriage we see in a symbol how Christ loves his Church, but in celibacy one lives that reality even here on earth, by the grace of God who enables a person to live in this way, and by his calling.
Danke für Ihren Mut.
I am happy for all of you there at the monastery. It is a beautiful video. God Bless you.
Nos unimos en oración por esta hermana que sr consagra al Señor.
Such a beautiful gift to God of yourself forever! 🤎🤎🤎
Dear Sister>>In Heaven is your final home--how happy your soul will be when Saint Clare together with hundred of saints will lead to beautiful KIngdom of God. My tears kept flowing as I know all nuns someday will be in haven soon.
Beautiful
God bless you
God bless you and the fruit of your ministry. Thank you for giving your whole self to our Church. Peace of Christ be with you.
Honestly, I'm very surprised that an 18 year old would be admitted into any order. I thought in these times most orders prefer a postulant has already received a college education. That said, Sister Mary Angelique looked radiant. God bless her and the community.
I bless your heart dear sister and trust that you too will find the beloved even in the desert where one needs His love to grow strong. T/Y for your selfless love dear sister
Pax et Bonum

Beautiful. Not my path, but beautiful.

So beautiful to be barefoot before the eyes of God to show humility and purity on Holy ground :)
Beautiful ❤️ God bless you all
Thank you for your support. We pray for those who do not understand. God bless you!
This was such a beautiful video! I've been thinking about religious life the past couple months and watching this just made me so.. happy!
May God give you His peace and perseverance in His holy love and service!
Dear sister, it is indeed so wonderful your journey of vocation, just now I sent my letter to propose the poor clare congregation. Please pray for me so that I will be able to join your congregation..for a year I've run from God, but He still draw me to came back to Him..I want to give everything and my self to love Him more and more like st. Clare of Assisi...
Just so Beautifully!!!
I did not have any real hope of convincing Daniel, but I thought that if I responded to his challenge it would be a good teaching moment for those who would later read these comments. I asked my friends on Facebook to help me answer him and their contributions were phenomenal! Thank you also for your understanding. God bless!

Liturgy is our organized, communal worship of God
At times I've felt the need to be called and yet have a difficult time trying to pick out an order to belong to and a name to choose from since there are quite a few I like to reflect both my personality and spirituality. If I did choose a name I feel in some ways it should reflect the spirit and history of the order I belong to, including its saints. For example, if I wanted to be a Passionist nun, I would love to have been called Sister Maria Dolori (which means 'sorrows' in Italian in reference to Our Lady of Sorrows) of the Cross and Crown or Maria Magdalena of the Passion; As a Dominican, I'd select Maria di Sancta Rosaria (Mary of the Holy Rosary (part of my given name and confirmation names), among others. I'm guessing when one enters into a religious community and is fully committed to that service, even some of the postulants and novices find themselves in a similar quandary. After all, they're in this for life and in an eternal commitment to their Bridegroom, whose love is infinite and unconditional. I presume this requires a lot of prayer, thought and study, however.
We believe that God chooses the Order He wants you to join, so ask Him to tell you! If He calls you to us, then you do not have to worry about your new name; Mother Abbess gives that to you, being inspired by the Holy Spirit.
@@PoorClaresBarhamsville Does that apply to most orders, by having the mother abbess choose the name? I'll admit there are quite a few orders I like, namely the more active ones...LOL I also feel somewhat awkward about sharing some of my thoughts and personal issues with a nun or a priest
@@sxyslyvxn No. I believe most orders have the candidate choose her name.
it also bring deep excitement too exactly like our relationships with each other but so much better
My prayer go with you
Isn't this exciting? it's great to see someone joining the order.
Beautiful
I have been intrigued by this notion shared by people like No Facist Ideologues, that is, one is "wasting life" by doing something like entering the monastic life. Is there a specific standard as to what exactly constitutes a fulfilled life? I have always figured it to be "happiness", or more specifically "happiness found in one's relationship with God" - but that is me, YMMV. Having lived in a monastic setting as a seminarian, I can vouch that the ones I knew in monastic life were indeed quite happy and fulfilled. They worked, they taught, they traveled, they had fun. Their food was basic but completely natural (grown on their farm!) and they raised their own funding. Most importantly, they were at peace. Sounds like a good choice! I wish Sister Angelique well and hope she finds the same.
18 years old, healthy, pretty with the world at her disposition. But she chooses becoming a nun, and she looks so happy during her ordenation. Religious vocations are definitely an amazing proof of the grandiosity and Divine existence of God's truth, love and glory.
Heart of my heart... let me die with you. ❤️
Oh happy day!
Yes it's beautiful my estranged sister would think is a stage act.
as someone who is looking in to being a nun its very personal to each person but I see my calling as a sharing my faith with other. I see my bearing fruit as bringing people closer to god the creator of our being. It not about being married it about LOVE. LOVE is also sacrifice and it not an easy option to choose either. I think and feel the emotion of deep love like that of marital love but it only the joyous feeling of being so close to God that give the feeling of love at it deepest
I pray that you will do well. It is a challenge to make the adjustment, being over 40, but it can be done.
What a beautiful video.I watched both of the videos and I was wondering how she passed, since they said it was in memory?
Earthly marriage is our best metaphor for our relationship with Christ, yet the reality far transcends the image as a person surpasses his portrait. In the heavenly kingdom, to serve is to reign! We have chosen to live in the freedom of Cod's children rather than be enslaved in the self-ism promoted by the secularist society.
Que dieu bénisse cette sœur
What about giving up family, doing things on her bucket list, becoming a mother, a career? Is she losing out as some would say? Perhaps but...
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then IN HIS JOY went and sold all he had and bought that field. "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.” Matthew 13:44-46
Does she look happy? Oh yeah, as happy as a bride on her wedding day.
In today's society, being religious is pretty embarrassing...won't people will ridicule and look down on her. Perhaps but...
'So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of human beings, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. Matthew 10:32
What about giving up things?
Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me….Jesus looked at him and said, "How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God!" Luke 18:22-24
She is choosing God over the distractions, busyness, joys and sorrows of a normal life. Is she getting the short end of the stick?
“…She had a sister called Mary, who sat down at the Lord's feet and listened to him speaking.
Now Martha, who was distracted with all the serving, …my sister is leaving me to do the serving all by myself…Please tell her to help me.' But the Lord answered, 'Martha, Martha,' he said, 'you worry and fret about so many things…and yet few are needed, indeed only one. It is Mary who has chosen the better part….' Luke 10:39-42
No sex, partying, romance, freedom to do what she wants and always being told what to do?
"Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. Matthew 16:24-25
Thanks be to God that he still calls those He has chosen to be a beacon, a witness for all of us in the Body of Christ in the midst of our daily lives, to the message that this transitory life is not the purpose and end-all our existence.
In heaven we will be "partakers of the Divine Nature", One with Christ. Further, this Nuptial connotation is spiritual, not physical, and therefore virginal. These beautiful women are only doing on earth what we all will be doing in heaven. This is nothing new, the early Church fathers taught this from the very beginning of the Church. Blessings to you Daniel!
She made her First Profession a few years ago (we made a slide show here) and is doing well!
Thank you, dear one! Let me know if you would like more information about us:) May the Lord show you where He wants you to serve Him.
Yes, the monster within us one billion Catholics is the same monster hiding in every human heart. Its name is sin. But within the Church is also the saving remedy for this monster! Our Lord Jesus Christ! May we all be more faithful to Him and so make reparation for the sins that have scandalized so many.
They are all here.
That's wonderful Lin! Which monastery?
Hi, I wanted to ask, how to know If you are called to a contemplative monastery? All I think about is being a nun, being with God all the time. Is it possible that, if you desire so much to give all your life to God, he's calling you to do that. I read somewhere that these kind of dreams can only come from God, and If you really want to become a nun, it means that The Holy Spirit comes to your heart with these wishes. And one more question, is it bad, that I don't want to study after finishing school and right after it, I want to enter the monastery? What about Joscelyn? She didn't study? And how Joscelyn find out, that God is calling her to be a nun?
P.S. This video touched my heart so much. And what are these beautiful songs on the this video. :)
Did you hear about the Imagine Sisters movement in USA? :)
Dear Jurinta, It sounds like you might be called! The best way to find out is to visit a contemplative monastery and spend some time there. Write to the superior and ask to come for a visit and an interview. It is not bad to not want to study after finishing school. When God calls, you want to respond right away! The songs are from a group called Regnum Christi. Yes, I did hear about the Imagine Sisters. God bless them! And may He bless you with wisdom to know where you should go to serve Him and then the courage to go and do it!
Ester Regina Oh, thank you for replieing to me, it means so much to me. :) God bless you lovely sisters. :) ahhh, I love you so much. ♥
Jurinta Jackevičiūtė are you there?
@@maureen090 she still seems active maybe not yet but praying for her!
Stephanie Tannis I want to be a nun myself seems hard though
Yeeeesss 🔥 🔥 🔥
Peace and goodness! Could you please tell me where I could find the music in this video? Thank you!
Its from the movie, "Therese"
What is the name of this song?😭😭
can i know the title this background song???
Would love an update. :)
Dear sister
I was lucky enough to live in Assisi for 3 years. I often visted San Damiano and its olive orchards as well as Santa Maria degl,Angeli and the monastery in Assisi. I have to say that the tears ran freely down my cheeks when I saw you investiture. I wish you all the best and pray that you follow your call with all your heart for the rest of your life. There is no greater blessing!
But one question what happens to the hair in the basket?
I am not much of a music fan so I shut it off. It seems strange to me that so many will critize those picking up their cross and following the Lord. Yet offer no insight beyond except to attack others as though they serve the Lord.How many people look at themselves: their greed and lust; their sloth and wrath;even the envies! They justify themselves as though their lip service is worth something.This young lady gave her life to the Lord in this way.Praise the Lord for his selection not opinions.
in all aspect of life there are charaltons that give the majority a bad name but on there whole a there are so many more that do it with pure movitives and heart and the only reaosn i am goign itnto it is to deepen MY faith to MY GOD and he alone will i serve
I think I regard every life as scared and if i do not then i would not do this
It is given to her mother.
and i am telling you the truth as i see it as a discerner my self
why they cut the hair...
is there any differences between black and white veil??
Their is Big difference between the White Veil and the Black Veil.
💞Sr Mary Angelique is a Novice, meaning, Yes indeed She Accepts Christ as Her Groom. Just as St Claire did, She Cut Off All Her Hair for Her Beloved. Depending on Each *Federation/Congregation, (Walking Barefoot or with Sandal's), She is a Poor Clare Colletine's=PCC.
Sisters Receive the Black Veil, After 2 year's of their Novitiate. She Will Profess, Her Simple Vows.
Then after 3 Year's, They Receive Their Ring, placed on the Right Hand Ring finger. They Will Also Profess their Solemn Vows, And Renew Them Annually.
What is the liturgy mean?

Dear Daniel You hate what you do not understand, I will pray for your soul that you may understand what you do not know Sincerely Marc Rivard
Instead of “loose”, I would prefer to call our interpretation “mystical”. When God became Man in Christ, he contracted a marriage bond with humankind. Not only the people of God as a whole, but every individual soul is called to be the Bride of the Lamb. (cf. Revelations). Nuns simply make explicit in their lives what is meant for everyone. We image that profound, intimate and irrevocable union with God which is the blessed destiny for all who say “yes” to Him.
Yes sister, a lot of people misunderstood Only Nuns, Virgin Saints are the only one Bride of Christ. They forget that EACH INDIVIDUAL SOULS, ALL of us called Church, the Bride of Christ, whether were married to Earthly spouses still they Church Bride and Body of Christ. Earthly spouses are also Bride of Christ. Thats why a lot of heresies come and go, because they misunderstood the Mystery of Jesus the Bridegroom and his Bride The Church both individual souls and group. Theirs Da Vinci Code heresies and New Age Religion proclaimed that ALL of us is not Bride of Christ for them, its A real woman its not Magdalene either, they make another false claimed and for them shes a godess. Shes a god and a human just like Jesus, Divine and Human. Off course. I dont believed them. but Lets just Pray for them and Open their hearts and feel the Love embrace of Jesus so that they will Repent and feel the love of God as Bridegroom to themselves That God will make them feel that he is really their Spiritual Spouse and meant to worship, Love and Respected above All.
I wonder if she’s still in the convent
Yes! She made her Solemn Profession a couple of years ago. She is one of our infirmarians, taking care of our elderly Sisters.

..Before and during marriage Catholics practice chastity. Before marriage it is chastity to God to be pure and in marriage it is chastity to one's spouse-not to lust for them or any other. The celibate life is unique because it is a very spiritual vocation to be more in union with God on Earth. A nun/priest devotes their life to the vocation of serving the Church and God's people.
