Mother Antonia speaks at the Our Lady of La Salette Shrine on Sept. 23, 2009.

Mother Antonia began with the story of her Call to Prison. Missing from the video is "Many years ago, I had a dream. I was a prisoner at Golgotha, the hill of skulls. Calvary! I remember how I looked, the modest dress I wore, the dream images are as clear to me as a familiar photograph. I must have been a Jewess, as I was dressed as one, but I did not know Jesus. And I still recall the terror that jolted me when a Roman guard pronounced my sentence: Woman, prepare to die—death by crucifixion! Then he turned his back & walked away. I ran from one person to the next, begging them to tell me why I was to be crucified. But one by one, they turned their backs to me. I fell to my knees & begged God to let me die instantly. Im not afraid to come to You, but please dont let them crucify me. Im willing to die, but not like that! I cant bear it, I know I cant! Take me now."
