Sister Clare Crockett died in the Ecuador earthquake of 2016 at age 33. Her story is amazing. I watched the two-hour documentary/movie and it was life-changing. You can watch the 15-minute summary if you like.

This is the story of a tremendously talented Irish girl spurning fame and fortune, and using her talent for God. Clare was on her way to a Hollywood career, despite her poor upbringing in impoverished Derry, Ireland. Her gift was an infectious outgoing personality, the kind that made everyone want to be in her company. She got into the party scene, smoking, drunkenness, boys, and she ditched it all to become a nun.

And what a gifted nun she was. She used her gifts to turn the toughest problem students to attentive respectful followers of Jesus. She could lift a whole hospital ward of terminal patients just by her presence. She converted many to become devout Catholics by her positivity, her infectious joy, and her utter devotion and selflessness. Some are calling for her sainthood.

Watch this one-of-a-kind girl/woman and be inspired!

thats awesome!
 
How many children did she abuse?
 
Although I do not believe in "God" or "saints," I think that it is wonderful when a person like Sister Clare can find a meaning to one's life.

I hope that the Catholic Church does make her a saint.

Believing in saints can give many people the spiritual strength to persevere.

Many people, I believe, have claimed that they were helped by a favorite saint. If they believe that, more power to them.

I can understand why many people find solace in the Church's rituals.


(P.S. I wish more American nuns would wear traditional nun clothing. I want them to look like a nun.)

I agree. I think more orders are returning to the habits in recent years. Thankfully, the decline in priests and sisters numbers is also reversing.
