The New York Times has another article that features a sister. “Devoted Fan Pursues Higher Calling” (September 4, 2006) by Jack Curry is about Sister Marian, a Dominican Sister of Hawthorn, New York. In the article, Curry talks about Sister Marian’s great love of Braves baseball which developed when she worked at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Cancer Home in Atlanta. The home is just blocks away from Turner Field.

I recently received an email from a student doing a paper on Catherine McAuley. She asked if Catherine had any symbols associated with her. Not knowing off the top of my head, I headed to web sites of the Sisters of Mercy (whom Catherine founded in 1831). To my great delight, I discovered that one of the symbols associated with Catherine is “a comfortable cup of tea.”

The breathless pace of our lives only seems to accelerate as we take on more responsibilities, more expectations, and instant everything!
