"Who do you think you are?" Question from the Convent

[DameAgnes]

I could read this sister's stuff all day:

 

“Who do you think you are?”

A sister asked me this question the other day in response to something I had said. She was not being rude; she was genuinely questioning whether the way that I think of myself is accurate and spiritually healthy.

Sr. Augusta, who is almost 100 years old, was recently visited by several of the younger sisters in the province. As they entered her room, she reached out her hands and exclaimed:

“What beautiful faces! Spouses of the Lord and friends of humanity!”

That is a wonderful article. Thank you for sharing it. 

I really do love Sr Augusta's "definition" of a nun/Sister. It really sums it up.
