I really love these stories!! They all make me cry!!

[Klaudi87]

[HopefulBride]

OK, I almost cried (which says a lot) Such a witness!!

[MarisStella]

That's awesome! Have any of you read [i]Catholic Nuns and the Making of America?[/i] The last chapter is devoted to the Nashville Dominicans!

Dieu vous benisse!

[MithLuin]

That is awesome! To know that that moment stayed with that man for [i]half a century[/i] for him to be able to repay his thanks in that way....awesome, awesome, awesome! I'm so thankful for those sisters who prayed for him back when he was a kid, and showed him love and kindness despite common prejudice.

During the discernment retreat I was on with the Sisters of Life a few weekends ago "Rosie" (name of one of their cars) broke down while we were driving in Manhattan. Quite a time! I have pictures.

oh look at sister Faustina. She is so sweet, I rode with her back from one of the discernment retreats and it was a really good 2 hours.

[Shana]

Sister Faustina was the one driving while the car broke down.

Great pics!!

[TeresaBenedicta]

I love the Sisters of Life!!!

Oh man. We had good times with those sisters.

We were driving to their convent and Sister was in the passenger seat to give us directions. It was pouring down rain and our defroster wasn't working, so she had to continuously wipe down the front windshield so we could see. At one point we needed to get over four lanes to an exit, and nobody was letting us over, so she laughed and said, "I got this one!" She rolled down the window, stuck out her head, and waved to the passing cars. Once we were over safe and sound, she laughed and said, "Works every time!"

Great pics. I love their habit, too. It rustles when they walk.
