Sr Lauren of the Cross acknowledges that she might have been a "most unlikely" candidate to become a nun, but as she looks back on her life before entering the Carmelite Monastery in Christchurch, she sees it all as great preparation for her current life. In conversation with Joanna Kearney, Sr Lauren recounts adrift away from her practice of the faith, her years working at Christchurch Casino, a reawakening of her faith after seeing a priest on TV and her discernment of a religious vocation -- which hasn't been a straightforward journey. She is now an Extern Carmelite Sister, one of only 300 or soaround the world. Find out what an Extern does, the life of a Carmelite and the ministry of spiritual direction in this episode of the Catholic Kiwi Podcast. And if you're looking to access the booklets Sr Laurenmentions, visit the Catholic Enquiry Centre website at: https://www.catholicdiscovery.nz/ With thanks to our host, Joanna Kearney, and the CatholicDiocese of Auckland and Simplepress Studios for this production.
