Rome, Italy, Mar 20, 2014 / 01:00 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- Sr. Cristina Scuccia is a 25 year old member of the Ursuline Sisters of the Holy Family who has appeared on “The Voice of Italy,” a reality show akin to “American Idol” or “Britain’s Got Talent.”

Sr. Cristina surprised the four judges on The Voice of Italy March 19 with both her talent and her habit.

The judges on the show begin with their backs turned to the performer, and turn around only if they like what they hear.

Did you watch the video? Maybe I could be enthused if she had sung a more dignified song. At least she could have sung Bon Jovi’s You Give Traditional Habits a Bad Name.

:rotfl: Or she could have done Pearl Jam’s famous hymn, “All or Nun”.
 
That was wonderful! Please someone keep us posted about her next appearance!

I’m not at all familiar with contemporary music. Could you, or someone, please post the lyrics?
 
:whistle:
.
**Through the days and nights
This I know for certain
You and me together ~
Everything is going to be alright
.
When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around ~
Everything is going to be alright
.
People keep talking
They can say what they like
But all I know is ~
Everything is going to be alright ***
:harp:
Beautiful voice ~ wonderful gift ~ simplicity of faith ~ the lord must be pleased with Sister 👍 !

Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, president of the* Pontifical Council **for Culture, used the hashtag in a tweet Thursday, commending her for sharing her talent with the Italian people: **“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others *(1 Peter 4:10)”.

Quote from Sister…
*“Yes, I am truly, truly a sister,” she replied.

“I came here because I have a gift and I want to share that gift.** I am here to evangelize***.”
 
That was wonderful. Praise The Lord, the angels will be rejoicing as the young people take a closer look at the joy The Lord brings into a life.

Loved the video, certainly lifted my spirits, thank you for posting it.

This is certainly in line with what Pope Francis proposes.

ALICIA KEYS LYRICS
“No One”

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry 'cause
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry 'cause
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide, something so real
So till the end of time I’m telling you there ain’t no one

No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh [x2]
 
I like it. Although the song was most likely written about a person, I think the lyrics can be easily applicable for Sr. Cristina’s life. It’s a great way to evangelize. People have this misconception of dour nuns and priests. Showing a sense of humor, of fun, using your talents - these are things that will draw people to you. I hope she’s able to do well.
