little vid of brooklyn carmel


i've been trying to upload this video forever. part of me feels bad. maybe God didn't want me to be successful because i caught a nun on tape(slap hand). but it was so very brief and you couldn't see her very well. there are only 7 sisters so it sounds pretty weak compared to the buffalo or south dakota carmel.
i REALLY wanted to get them singing salve regina but sr mary agnes said they sing that on saturday nights.
i remember when i was little and kneeling in the buffalo carmel's chapel. looking up at the arched ceiling and hearing the nuns sing salve regina. i thought "this is what heaven sounds like". then when i got older i found an old hymnal of grandma's in her old piano bench in our living room. i committed myself to learning that hymn and all it's mysterious words.
the first time i sang it to the kids they giggled.
"did she say climb on a moose? did she say super raw moose? did she say avocado nose?"
of course i reminded them that it was a spiritual song about Our Mother, but the joke was set. and since then smiles go around when i get to that part.

Lol. At the beginning there is a black flash behind the grill going from left to right.

Hey, this is awesome! Thank you! I met some of the nuns who went to Brooklyn behind the grille in Buffalo. I wouldn't worry about seeing a tiny bit of one of them here. Although they are very strictly enclosured, they did allow NETNY of Brooklyn to do a little show on them. There are 3 parts which feature them and the CFR Friars, but they are mostly in part 2, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDFYE3-W9w4 God bless!
