Yet two days before, unbeknownst to the world, another Catholic nun lost her life, murdered with two gunshots to the stomach by men who took her purse and the handful of dollars she had in it. Sister Isabel Sola Matas of the Congregation of the Religious of Jesus and Mary was killed in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Friday, Sept. 2, by unidentified men who shot her while she was driving. A Spaniard born in Barcelona, she had been living in the country since 2008, two years before the small island nation, the poorest in the Americas, was hit by an earthquake largely considered one of the world’s worst catastrophes. https://cruxnow.com/global-church/2016/09/06/murdered-nun-haiti-incarnated-spirit-mother-teresa/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quasar Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 I'm thinking of the sisters in Yemen, Mississippi, and now Haiti... these women do dangerous work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
