Thanks to Gayle, OSF, for introducing this video to me. I LOVE it. Hilarious, very clever, and did I mention hilarious? It made me laugh and it also made me proud of the good work that nuns are doing on the internet. You’re in for a treat!

Oh this is way too amazing! I am reading this neat book called, “Clear Blogging” because I am thinking of getting more into blogging and here I am reading about this Sister Julie who has a very popular blog… and I decide to google and go see it… and lo and behold …. there I am!
This definitely has to be a God-incidence don’t you think? I mean I found you on the very day you posted my video? And it’s not like I just did the video - it’s been up about 7 months…
Oh… and I see you are using Wordpress and that is what I have just made the plunge to do..and maybe I can ask you some questions? Like do you like it? And I want to be really, really nosy .. and ask what it was like to be in the Times Magazine! That is wow! I am now going to have to go find that article.
Blessings of Peace!

Sister Patricia , I have enjoyed all your newsletters. They are all inspiring and thought provoking. They teach me a lot on the Religious Life which I am suppose to be living it everyday of my life. It is not always easy especially when you have other Sisters who are hard to get along with to live a long
side them daily. That is when ask God to help me love them inspite of themselves. It is a daily continuing learning experience and some days are harder than others. I like the Oprah idea also and some day maybe I will be able to buy your book. Thank you and God Bless you. Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always.
Sincerely in Jesus Christ,
Sister Johanna

What a huge, uplifting kick! Thanks so much for your lovely sense of humor and, of course, for the book…ALLELUIA! I’m giving a copy to one of our grandson’s girl friend who is in RCIA leading toward Baptism this Easter Vigil.
Praise God!

One thing I know for sure, that is good for a laugh. What an interesting interview! I have read the book. It deserves a Best Seller Status. Does Oprah have a copy of the book to read??
Thanks for sharing the message. God bless

What a pleasure to have you visit, Sister Patricia! That is definitely a capital “C” Coincidence. I’m glad you discovered Bob Walsh’s book, Clear Blogging in which an interview with myself appears. I look forward to connecting with you again. You are doing great work, my Sister.
Wouldn’t that be a hoot if Oprah got her hands on that book. I think it is important that people become aware that the online world is a place to minister and help change the world, both of which are close to Ophrah’s heart.

How cool is that? God does work in strange ways. I am delighted to be a part of this! Sister Patricia’s video is so worth sharing on your blog. This made my day!
