We talk with a former sister whose first major assignment after vows puts her in the Vatican serving Pope Francis, and she shares how quickly the rose-colored expectations meet real pressure. We relive a papal dinner moment where exhaustion turns “What’s next?” into an accidental command to send everyone to bed. • being transferred to the Vatican as a newly professed sister and feeling the shock of the assignment • serving Pope Francis directly and supporting the demands of a major apostolic visit to the United States • the hidden logistics behind papal travel including rest, routines, and constant coordination • the grind of late dinners, early prayers, and accumulating exhaustion on the road • a misunderstood question at dinner that leads to a blunt bedtime announcement and a laugh from the Holy Father • the habit of speaking truth to power and why that can be hard inside convent life Visit TheAccentOnline.org Subscribe on Spotify , Apple Podcasts , or anywhere you listen to podcasts .
