MithLuin Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Here's the story in the Buffalo newspaper, mostly relying on an interview with their cousin: http://www.buffalonews.com/city/article442210.ece it seems they were religious brothers, not priests (as Yahoo suggested). I love that the comments on both articles are so positive! It seems that the 'I hate religion and/or the Church!' crowd stays away from stories like this...for good reason. What is there bad to say about a life like this one? (Or two )
jruss Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 I saw this article yesterday and already sent a copy on to each of my twins! One of them is a novice in Nashville, fevently praying and hoping God will call her twin sister there as well. It is kind of funny, though, that the non-religious twin gets lots of double takes when we are visiting at the convent. I think it takes the professed sisters a few seconds to realize that Sr. A.M. is NOT in street clothes! A joke my other kids and I were hatching, but never pulled off was to have the twins switch clothes while we were visiting (when Angela was a postulant). We wanted to nun-nap our daughter for the night and leave the other one to romp around the convent overnight so we could spend more time with the daughter/sister we were so sorely missing. Can you get kicked out of the order for something like that??? We used to call our daughters womb-mates, as these friars were--now they are tomb-mates forever.

FutureSister2009 Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 Well it's kind of sad that they died but it is beautiful that they went so close to each other.

She couldn't get kicked out if she didn't get caught

[/quote] Ah, but they were 92, surely more than ready to hear God say 'Well done, thou true and faithful servants'. Heaven has more angels and we have more saints (small s) praying for us . Got to be good!
