Sister Wilhelmina Lancaster was Black.
But she refused to let the color of her skin define her.
When someone told her, “You’re Black first and Catholic second,” she responded:
“To be black is nothing. To be Catholic is everything.”
Her mother taught her this same perspective from childhood.
During segregation, Black Catholics were required to receive Holy Communion after white Catholics.
Her mother told her not to worry about where she stood in line.
Why?
Because receiving Jesus in the Eucharist was the privilege, even if they had to be last.
“Before our Lord we are all nothing… and the privilege is to receive Him no matter what place we have in line.”
Sister Wilhelmina understood what mattered most:
Christ first.
Everything else in its proper place.
Sister Wilhelmina, pray for us.
