The Sister Servants of the Eternal Word is a public association of the faithful begun by Mother Mary Gabriel Long in 1987. The community is contemplative-active, committed to evangelization through catechesis and retreats, according to the ideals of St. Francis and St. Dominic who rebuilt the Church in truth and charity. The Sister Servants run Casa Maria Retreat House and also participate in family catechesis, Sacramental preparation, and other catechetical missions throughout the diocese and beyond. They teach “spiritual things spiritually” (1 Cor 2:13) by witnessing to the Truth and Love of God, in imitation of St. Dominic and St. Francis. Sister Rita Marie’s topic today is “The Pilgrimage to Lourdes and the Immaculate Conception” and she is interviewed by IRL Board member, Jesse Weiler. Thank you for listening! May God bless you and enjoy!","meta_description":"On this week's episode, we're listening to a Facebook Live interview featuring Sister Rita Marie, SsEW with the Sister Servants of the Eternal Word in Iro…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1686,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ever-ancient-ever-new-6737169/episodes/91-fb-live-interview-with-sister-rita-marie-ssew-the-pilgrimage-to-lourdes-and-the-immaculate-conception/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ever-ancient-ever-new-6737169/91-fb-live-interview-with-sister-rita-marie-ssew-the-pilgrimage-to-lourdes-and-the-immaculate-conception.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
