A 92 year-old nun died today in a Carmelite Monastery in Illinois. She was kind of an unusual nun. She didn’t sing very well. She was frequently late to her required duties around the convent. She threw sticks for the communal dogs which was not allowed. Also she was my mother.
@LeeWinterOz @JudSawyer She took her 5 boys to lunch a week after she took the 5 girls. She went around the table asking what each of us wanted to be at 60. Then she related she would become a cloistered nun. That she devoted first 30 years to herself, next 30 years to her children and last 30 to God.
