"Within the Dominican Order, whose motto is Truth and whose mission
is the proclamation of that Truth, some proclaim primarily through
their contemplative 'tryst' with that Truth. Here some of these
women of the Dominican monasteries tell of how they came to embrace
this way of life which to many is such a mystery. Each is a story
as unique and human as its author."
-Suzanne Noffke, O.P., Translator of the "Dialogue of St.
Catherine of Siena"
"The life of the cloistered contemplative nun is one of the most
hidden but also one of the most important treasures of the Church.
The prayers and sacrifices of these holy women are so crucial to
the Church's well-being that it behooves all of us to know them
better. The stories in this splendid book help us to do just that,
since they are authentic vignettes from the personal lives of 23
different Dominican cloistered nuns."
-Father Michael Monshau, O.P., Prior, Dominican House of Studies,
Saint Louis, Missouri
"These remarkable personal testimonies demonstrate the power of
God's fruitful invitation to a contemplative and cloistered life in
the Dominican tradition. Though each testimony is unique, there is
a common link among them that recalls Elizabeth's words to Mary:
'Blessed is she who believed that there would be fulfillment of
what was spoken to her from the Lord (Luke 1:45).' These
testimonies, then, are not a history of the past rather they give
confidence to all in the present who have the courage to accept
God's invitation to Himself. Indeed, God has done great things.
This book reminds all of us that God is still doing great
things."
-Father Dominic Izzo, O.P., Provincial of the Province of St.
Joseph
