Rise and Walk – Sister Briege McKenna, OSC

In this powerful and humorous episode, Sister Briege McKenna shares her extraordinary journey from a “stubborn as a mule” young nun in Ireland to a world-renowned minister of healing. With her trademark wit and deep spiritual insight, Sister Briege reflects on her 65 years of religious life and the transformative power of saying “yes” to God’s unconventional plans.

Key Highlights

• The Miracle at 24: Sister Briege recounts her instantaneous healing from crippling rheumatoid arthritis during the Eucharist—a moment that changed the trajectory of her life forever.
• The Gift of Healing: Discover the “Hound of Heaven” story of how she resisted the gift of healing, fearing it was too sensational, only to have God confirm her calling through a series of undeniable encounters.
• Writing Your Own Gospel: Sister Briege challenges every listener to move beyond “remote control” Catholicism. She explains that through our Baptism, we are called to be “walking scriptures,” writing the Gospel according to our own lives.
• The Grace of Courage: Reflecting on the theme “Rise and Walk,” she emphasizes that spiritual growth requires the courage to fail, get back up, and trust in God’s infinite patience.
• Unique Personalities in Grace: Using the analogy of water filling different shaped bottles, she explains how the Holy Spirit fits into our individual personalities rather than forcing us into a mold.

Memorable Quotes
