A religious sister and two brothers engage in a lively interview with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney about how they discerned God’s call to consecrated religious life. Sister of Christian Charity Chiara Marie Stimpfle, Franciscan Father John Aherne, and Franciscan Father of the Renewal Isaac Spinharney also share insights into prayer, retreats, and living in community. Bishop Sweeney also reflects on the state of immigration enforcement in America and the recent letter from Pope Francis to the United States bishops expressing concern at mass deportations. “Are we treating each and every person like Jesus [and] as our sister and brother?” the bishop asks.
