Sister Marie Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 We often see the beautiful pictures of religious praying, recreating, and smiling at the camera. Those pictures are lovely and realistic but only portray part of the call to religious life. Religious women are called also to radically proclaim the Gospel by their lives and their work. It's not as glamorous but all the praying and fun mean nothing without works. So... how about some pictures of Sisters at work - with the poor, the uneducated, the sick... Sisters in general getting their hands dirty for the Kingdom of God! Here are a few to start with. [attachment=3009:nun.jpg] [attachment=3010:nun2.jpg] I've never done pictures before so hopefully this works! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andibc Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 The movie is "Mother Teresa" and stars Olivia Hussey. Amazon sells it for $11.95, well worth the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
