Guest: Susan Sink, writer and poet
Our first encounter with Susan Sink was via her book Habits, a collection of forty, 100-word stories that offer a close look into the lives of nuns, specifically the sisters whom she had met while working as Communications Director for the Sisters of the Order of Saint Benedict in Saint Joseph, Minnesota. Check out a review of Habits on our blog.
Susan also wrote The Art of The Saint John's Bible, a three-volume series on the art and theology of the Saint John's Bible, and a book of poems, The Way of All the Earth. You can follow Susan's writings featured in various literary magazines, on the story-telling social network Cowbird.com, and at her website Susan Sink where she blogs about "Writing – Gardening – Recipes — and life on our 80 acres."
We'll talk with Susan about her experience with the nuns -- and getting their stories into 100 words! We'll also talk about her vocation as a writer and how she is expresses the beauty of every day life in her writing and poetry. How can story-telling be a way of tapping into the sacred? And we'll explore The Art of The Saint John's Bible and see how art combined with scripture tells a story too!

May is Mary's Month
We honor Mary for "the way in which, in her own particular life, she fully and responsibly accepted the will of God (cf. Lk. 1:38), because she heard the word of God and acted on it, and because charity and a spirit of service were the driving force of her actions."
~ Pope Paul VI in Marialis Cultus (1974)
