Video of Sister Petra's Tonsure

As we shared in our last post, the newest member of our community was tonsured as a rasophore nun on Feb. 1. This video includes the blessing of the habit, the giving of Sr. Petra's new name, her tonsure and a beautiful homily by Bishop Milan.

Bishop Milan’s said, while speaking about Sr. Petra's patron, St. Peter:

“Jesus, again today, through this liturgical celebration, invites you also, and again repeats, ‘Follow Me. Follow Me in your life! Are you prepared to follow me with all? With all sacrifice? Again, with all renouncement of this world? Or no?’ Each of us needs to give the answer to Jesus Christ, as today Sr. Petra gave this answer here.”
