This group of nuns from Southern California took their holiday spirit to Twitter

The video has already been seen thousands of times on Twitter: using a whisk, a spoon, and a spatula as microphones, these 12 Carmelite Sisters from Los Angeles celebrated Thanksgiving by recording “Bless the Lord, My Soul” in their kitchen.

Happy #thanksgiving from our family to yours!! @mattmahermusic your music says it all! Let’s bless the Lord for His goodness to us… pic.twitter.com/UGoaHmwdmf

These religious belong to the Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart in Alhambra, a city east of Los Angeles. It’s the motherhouse of this congregation, which was founded in the 20th century.

The Thanksgiving cheer only got better when a family responded to the sisters with their own rendition.

What an invitation to, indeed, bless the Lord!

Love to the Carmelites! Happy Thanksgiving! pic.twitter.com/QGOrjPnPPz
