  • @nccsa No, I don't know that - So what if I don't? It was merely an observation of what seemed an ironic coincidence - one not to be taken seriously. There's no need to act so offended, chill out!

  • Rest In Peace

  • lol aint it the truth God helps those who HELP themselves,,,ya gotta LUV it!

  • Sister Damian?

    As in "The Omen" ...Damien?

    Did anyone else notice that? Or just me? lol!

  • lol

  • ur a cancer victim

  • If you knew anything about the Catholic religion you'd know that St Damian was an early Roman martyr important enough that he was mentioned at every Mass, every day, for 1700 years.

    Try to get your mind out of the tiny box that is the last 30 years.

  • I am truly glad to hear this story. A nun, full of grace, is also a baseball fan. A baseball team, full of vigor if not victory, honors the nun and thus honors all Texans in their love of grace and goodness.

    My thanks to the Houston Astros, and my thanks to Bob and Texas Country Reporter (sorry, but I still think of it as "4 Country Reporter" after all these years).

    March 9, 2008

    A PARISH priest who lied to his flock about having cancer used money they gave him to help pay for a trip to Lourdes for a "miracle cure".

    When Father Richard Abourjaily's lies about having prostate cancer were uncovered he was condemned as "delusional" by the head of the Catholic Church, Cardinal George Pell, and suspended from his duties at All Hallows Parish Church at Five Dock in Sydney's inner west.

  • i molest squirrels during baseball games

  • I am the mole king from the secret kingdom of the moles, we shall avenge our squirrel comrades! Your days of oppression are numbered!

  • marked for bs, baseball + jesus = not as awesome as breast cancer

  • Yes, that was old testiment, that was the second book of the Old Testiment. Old Testiment also mentions that a man was swallowed by a whale, a giant boat that carried 2 of each species of animals in the world, and men that lived to be 800 years old... Come on... New Testiment is the real deal, old testiment is written in a more fable style.

  • Yeah, it is so easy to take things out of context and try and put a negative spin on them. I can do the same.

    Amendment II

    A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

    Oh my!

    The Palestinians could be saying those words to the Israelis!!! Oh my!!!

    See, it is easy to take things out of context and make them sound negative.

  • The above comment was a reply to user: ukidding

  • Gentle and mild Jesus advocates self mutilation.

    Matthew 18:8

    And if thine eye causeth thee to stumble, pluck it out, and cast it from thee:

    Perhaps your idol was having an off day.

  • Listen, now you are being a jerk. I never said I was a Christian or Jesus was my idol. For all you know I could be a Muslim or a Marxist, so just shut up since you don't know.

    People have the freedom of self-determination, they can choose what they want to believe. Stop disrespecting Christianity. Let people enjoy the right to exercise their religion freely and stop criticising them. Just ignore them if you don't like their ways.

  • comments are replies to user:ukidding

    China, the country with the largest population in the world is majority atheist/darwinist, but although they don't belive in God, they don't go around disrespecting other peoples religous texts! So stop being a jerk, you can love your family, your culture, and wealth like Chinese people do....

  • I suggest you take some literature classes, please do learn the difference between poetic writing, literal, technical, figurative, satirical and metaphorical styles of wriing and speaking.  Not every single writing text is meant to be taken literally!

  • Most of the bible should not be taken literally because it is a fantasy. e.g. Noah was 600 years old when he built the ark.

    Faiths aren't worthy of respect because there is no forensic evidence.

    Rationality is the enemy of faith.

  • Why can't you just be like the Chinese and show respect for other peoples culture, traditions, and religous texts. You are an awful diplomat and your actions would just lead to World War Three!

  • the chinese aren't showing much respect for fu long gong....superstition doesn't deserve respect.

  • how adorable is she?

  • lol very cute story ..

  • that's a pretty cool story :)

    the nun that sits beside sister damian sometimes was my first grade teacher!! she's a great person.

    btw...actionxanax--modern religion does NOT distort a person's life.

  • HAHAHAHAH...religion was made as a way to understand death..Which, in my opinion, is simple as can be.

  • It's called Astro Nun 'cause the team is the Astros. Duh!

    I thought it was a cute story, though. She seems like a really sweet lady.

  • god dose not restric you to a sad concealed life. nor is god a to holy to talk to god

  • chikousa relligion..

  • I would drink if I never got layed.

  • nuns are at the indians games too!

  • she spilled her beer on me one time when she was up clapping after Berkman blasted one over the train tracks.

  • Aw, she's so adorable!

  • theres 7mins i wont ever get back

  • Amen.

  • boring....astro dumb  maybe is the real title

  • totally looking for nuns in space. Damn...

  • me too! ha ha

  • omfg, this is false advertising. this should be called baseball loving freak, astro nun made me think of a nun in space, or super powered nun, and i know im not the only 1 thinking this.

  • aw man, astro nun.. i was expecting a space travelling nun, or a super nun =/

  • lol she has my hallaloya

  • Thanks for sharing!

  • Some people evidence a faith that transcends any one religion. Who- or Whatever the true God may be, I have a hard time imagining Them looking with anything but true favor on Sister Damian. She seems a truly good and shining person of high moral character and tremendous strength.

  • That is a very sweet story. Well done.

  • Hi,

    I love this video. Sister Damien is lovely.

  • wonderful story. heartwarming. she seems to be a wonderful person.

  • Ouch, good thing the church loosen it's laws now and she can go to games now.

  • Bless her!!!

  • what a nice story, too bad the end got cut off

  • Man... thats awesome! Baseball rules and this Nun rules!

  • ahhh soo cool....nice story

  • what a wonderful story!

  • You go Sister Girlfrriend,I can't believe your "85"

  • We LOVE "FUN NUNS"!!!

    Lilia and Her Mom

    =) =)

  • Apologies, I wasn't intending "liberalized" as an insult in this context. She seems like a wonderful person. You are lucky to have had her as a teacher.

  • Wow.

    That's a story as sweet as they come... made me feel all happy for the nun.

  • On average I attend 20 Astros games a year, and have seen and spoke with Sr.Damien on several occasions. A very sweet lady. Its just not a game if she isn't there.

  • This is a good stoy. Good job!

  • She seems like a sweetie!

  • Cool story! I travel to the States to see baseball games. Houston's new park is one of the few parks I have yet to visit. Now I know why I have to go. Amen, Sister!

  • HEY I SAW HER

  • lmmaaooo mee too!

  • Jesus lovees you sister, and baseball too!

  • coolest nun,like,ever!

  • Really a great video! Good work!

  • She has the True Faith..The Catholic Faith! Jesus said to Peter, Upon this Rock I will build My Church. Catholics can trace back to St. Peter to present, no other religion can claim that.

  • the true faith? jews were the first and most tolerant religon. unlike catholicism, they dont teach themselves that everybody else is going to "hell" they dont care. rasta is good too.

  • *sigh* Catholicism doesn't teach that everybody else is going to Hell.

  • its the fanatics that bring religion down.come to think of it.. religion segregates while spirituality does the opposite.

  • yeah.... like the fundimentalists ruin it for everyone else. just like muslims, the crazy ones make everyone else look bad: christian crazy people ruin it for us.

  • Tolerant?? Jesus was Jew, and they crucified Him for speaking the truth. Would your ancestors nail you to a tree for speaking the truth?

  • thats cool

  • GO ASTROS!!!! Top of the food chain!

    I would curse and elaborate more, but not on Sister Damian's video.

  • Cool vid! It just goes to show that Martin Luther was right, that we should be more assertive in believin' in Jesus than in dogmas, 5 stars to Sister Damian!

  • we should also believe in proper grammar, qualqui.

  • Watcha mean, "we also have to believe in good grammar" of course i got good grammar, now it happens ya be my english teacha!

  • I know Sister Damien!!! I go to IWA!!! I love her!!!

  • What a sweetie!  God bless her!

  • What this missed is what changed: Her religious order, not the rules of the whole Catholic Church. Her order obviously was a very strict one when she joined and has since liberalized.

  • Lighten up! She's over 70 yrs. old, survived cancer and got free tickets to baseball games. Even if her order paid for the tickets, she deserves it. Since the game passes were a gift, that makes it even more appropriate for her to be there and watch her favorite team.

  • what a funky nun

  • thumbs up sister damian, very touching story, it brought me to tears when she said that she was also a breast cancer survivor, much love to all survivors, stand up and be counted..........

  • Ahhhh how sweet, God bless her =)

  • God Bless Sister Damion

  • Too bad the Astros suck Go Brewers!

  • I know that nun! She's Sister Damien she teaches at my school! She is the sweetest person ever! I never thought she would be on YouTube!

  • Go ASTROS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • This is just really really sad. I feel sad about the poor nanny... she has had absolutely no life up till now.

  • What's your problem? She decided to give her life to God, and are you criticising that decision? You probably know nothing about Catholic theology and redemptive suffering. Whatever though.

  • Oh how wonderful. religion = having your simplest dream come true after decades of doing religious chores nobody asks you to, when all the NORMAL people get it so easily. Logic??? whats that...

  • If you watched the video carefully, you would understand that she was very happy with her life before she got the passes to the stadium.

  • lol I was at that game in that section...way to go for Sister Damian! :D

  • I LOVE THIS VIDEO. The nun is so cute. Also, it shows something most of us in hospitals know, but others need to learn. Yes, there are horrible priests (and nuns), but like all clergy, they are models of morality to the rest of us.

  • if it was an endless pit then how would there be blades at the bottom? its endless!

  • he got you there lonestar

  • Yes, blink, I know all about monasteries, but they still do it because of an unexisting man, and...that's what's wrong, see?...it's a way of living, ok!! ok!!...but it sucks buddy...or, would you do it??...do you live like a nun?...are you a monk or what the HELL?...

  • If you knew all about monasteries, you would appreciate the fact that monks and nuns generally live longer than the rest of the public because of the discipline of their lives and the serenity that the monasteries and convents provide. Who's the "unexisting man"?

  • @redgoldbluephantom

    If you knew anything about existence, you would appreciate the fact that living such a life isn't worth living in the first place.

  • @xxeternalbeautyxx People who have a grasp of the meaning of existence and what it means to be a human being understand that life's value doesn't depend on material possessions, satiation in sensual pleasures or the opinions of others, but in having a purpose in life and finding fulfillment in serving that purpose. The nun seems to have that.

  • Poor woman. It must really suck to give up everything to devote your life to something that fully.

  • Very sweet story. Quite enjoyable, appreciate you airing it. Sister is a lovely person. Too bad the team is not doing as well as it could, but that is the way it goes.

  • Thank god the church has given her some freedom now!

  • I thought this was absolutely wonderful. It touched my heart.

  • sister damian you're so sweet!

  • excellent*,

    janok

  • This is delightful.

  • if i wasnt for texas the golf of mexico would leak all over arizona (dm)

  • LOL...I can't believe I actually laughed at this one

  • Cool, I wish more reports were done on Catholic Religious.

    Chris - Religious usually pick names that mean something special to them, a patron saint, someone they want to imitate. A lot of Spanish, religious or not, take the names Jose Maria as second names whether or not they are male or female.

    Opo - if you are talking about God, His existence can be proved by the light of natural reason alone, so it is nonsensical not to believe in God.

    Pax Christi vobiscum,  Nic Carvalho

  • baseball is dead, duh

  • LOL! Sister Damian's order run's my school here in Houston - it's right next to the ball field.

  • DAMEON THATS A FUNNY NAME FOR A NUN

  • I wish more nuns wore the habit.

  • Agreed.

  • Please don't give into superstition. The life of your mom does not depend on internet messaging. I will NOT paste the message to 10 videos -- ask me tomorrow if my mother actually died within four hours of this post.

  • I wish I had season tickets

  • i hope ur not talking about God...

  • It's not that God didn't let her go to a baseball game or that it's "wrong". When you enter a convent or monastery it's a way of "leaving the world" behind in order to center yourself around God like she said. Of course today it's different since some religious orders are totally cloistered and others tend to go out into the world doing apostolic ministry (social work, teaching schools, etc.) and are allowed more of the mingling.

  • I wanna sit with her!
