1 ~Y- \~I 19~~ Why became a sister and why ,•,.,:;.,~:..,,,., asked 10 sis- ters two questions. Why did you become a sister? And, why are you a religious today? Sister Dolores Dowling, Benedictine at the Convent of Perpetual Adoration, San Diego: ~()~

a 20 years, I remember as I entered the novitiate of the Si ter;; of St, Joseph of Carondelet, that being a religious was first and foremost in my mind and in the training I received as a young sister. I struggled in living up to this ideal and many times felt lost, wondering if it were possible to be the "perfect sister". Now: It has been a long hard climo coming to the realization that I am a woman, a person. In accepting and realizing this marvelous gift of God, I have been able to put my ideal into better perspective. Through the gifts and talents with which I have been blessed, and returning them to the Lord in service to his people, I have come to appreciate the meaning of being a Christian. Each day, I rededi- cate myself to the Father, for only in his loving care will my life continue to grow into the fullness of beingwoman, Christian and religious. Sister Genevieve Lane, Sister of St. Joseph of Cleveland, professor of special education. University of San Diego: Then: While I was in high school, I was greatly inspired by the biogtaphy of Madame Curie and, while I knew my accomplishments could never equal hers. I wanted to do something truly worthwhile with my life. Several years later, while an Arthur Murray dance instructor, I realized the futility of stressing material values. After a sister questioned me about entering the convent I Knew this was what I wanted to do. Now: I am grateful to God for the undeserved gift of a vocation, and I believe I am finally at a point where I can thank him for the sorrows as well . Turn to page 3

the service of persons in whom the Spirit resides. I chose to "change the world" into a more just place through the life style of a religious woman. Now: Twenty-one years later the above reasons still hold along with a few others. In this age of pluralism a still greater challenge exists in living a religious commitment. "How to be a religious" is a subject of controversy within the church. There is great pressure placed on women religious from those who refuse to accept diversity in the hfe styles chosen by religious today. My community, a loving supportive, growth-filled group of women enable me to remain faithful to the Journey I_ began. Sister CeHa DuRea, Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet, Missions office: Then: A number of years ago, recall the words of a retreat master who said. "You are first a woman, secondly, a Christian, and thirdly, a religious." Looking back over the past

Then: I became a sister because the Lord gave me no peace until I did! He kept calling me to the kind of life where I would be giving him that close attention, which is prayer and where I would have tne support of other women who share the same vision and goal. Now: I am a sister today because I believe more than ever that we need places where the transcendent God can be met. There is a hunger of the spirit in the people of our time that cannot be satisfied except by the living God. My monastic life gives me the time and space to feed this hunger, not just for myself, but for "the life of the world." Sister Patricia Ann Born, Commun- ity of the Holy Spirit, in diocesan office of religious education: Then: Pride in my church and love of being a Catholic motivated me to

Their replies show that, whatever their" reasons for becoming religious, they have a wide range of el(perience which is expressed in their answers to the second question-why stay a religious? Here are the responses: Sister Jeannine Cote, Sister of Jesus and Mary, secretary in the diocesan office of education: Then: Twenty years ago I became a sister in response to a call-a call within my heart of hearts that Jesus wanted me to belong to him as a Religious of Jesus and Mary and serve him in others. This call was not manifested in any spectacular way, but was similar to a persistent reminder like a gentle breeze in the night, that Christ wanted me to give myself to him. I did not want to hear; I hesitated to really listen to what was said within myself, yet the. voice persistently remained unti I took the step of entering the novit ate. Now: I am and remai -sister in response to Jesus' faithful prom,se He has called me, he sustains and guides me. My life is open and available to serve hi'll in others with gifts and talents he has given me. During the years, I have hesitated, I have questioned and I have res1s,ed and yet time has and 1s still unfo 1;1,ng the truth of his fa,thfvl lol(f!. responsetohim1stohlsco I ualca of not only twenty r but an ever present call and d n gyes to him. In return, he leaves me with his peace and JOY within my own heart of hearts. as the joys. One of the greatest joys has be n working with the handi- capped and oresenlly having a part in training teachers to do likewise. I feel that I could ne11er have accomplished these goals without the encourage- ment and support of my religious community and that is why I am a sister today. Sister Patricia Desmond, Religious of the Sacred Heart, vocations office: Then: My reasons for becoming a Religious of the Sacred Heart were a desire to generously serve God and his people; a certa in dissastisfaction with the transitoriness of th ings around me; a curiosity as to why sisters were such happy women; and, a belief that th is was the way I could respond to the love of the Lord. Now: Today, I am happy in that response because I have learned to believe that Jesus loves me. Now, I am free to respond to what the Lord asks through the exigencies of the gospel 1n the church and the world. Sister Gabrielle Marie, Poor Sisters of Nazareth, teaches at Nazareth School, San Diego: Then: I became a sister because I anted to give everything I had and wanted ard was to our Lord that he might use me in his service. I wanted to draw as close as possible to him through work and prayer for his ople,'the church. I felt that the best y for ryie to do this comi;iletely was , Sisters From page 1
