The Surprising Life and Times of a Dominican Sister

Over the years I have met many amazing women. While they were mostly my teachers or professors some were in positions of authority. I admired their selfless concern for the community and their ability to make sane decisions. They modeled for me what I hoped for myself: to live my life motivated by love and dedicated to serving others. They were different ages but they shared a common trait: joyful charity. Yes they clarified issues but more importantly they had a vibrant spirituality rooted in love of God. They cared about me so consistently that when they shared advice I knew that it came from a place of deep wisdom. Knowing them made me a better woman and inspired me in the various roles to which obedience called me: teacher administrator campus minister and professor.
