My wife's cousin is Sister Joan Brede, a School Sister of St. Francis, who recently celebrated her fiftieth year in the Order. As I was preparing a sermon about Hannah and Samuel one day, I thought of Joan and what her parents might have thought about her decision to enter the convent. I asked her if she would share with me what that time was like. She laughed and then told me a remarkable story.
