organwerke Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 How sad! Who knows how is going the baby now...nowadays he should be almost 18, and maybe his mother will be able to enter the convent again: after all a mother can be a nun, right?

This woman's trust in God will be a shining beacon of faith for me when I face hard times to come. Thank you LD for posting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berenike Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 [url="http://www.yoinfluyo.com/index2.php?option=com_content&do_pdf=1&id=18064"]Not actually true, though[/url]. Letter was written as a form of literary preaching, or prose poetry, by an Italian priest, Alfredo Contran, who died in 2007. He won a prize for it, even. But then some people started circulating it as actually by an actual nun (the author of this article doesn't know whether maliciously or in good faith). Uncles Google and Yahoo are your friends.
