Within the Dominican Order, whose motto is Truth and whose mission is theproclamation of that Truth, some proclaim primarily through their contemplative'tryst' with that Truth. Here some of these women of the Dominican monasteriestell of how they came to embrace this way of life which to many is such amystery. 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 alsoone of the most important treasures of the Church. The prayers and sacrifices ofthese holy women are so crucial to the Church's well-being that it behooves allof us to know them better. The stories in this splendid book help us to do justthat, since they are authentic vignettes from the personal lives of 23 differentDominican cloistered nuns."-Father Michael Monshau, O.P., Prior, Dominican House of Studies, SaintLouis, Missouri"These remarkable personal testimonies demonstrate the power of God's fruitfulinvitation to a contemplative and cloistered life in the Dominican tradition.Though each testimony is unique, there is a common link among them thatrecalls Elizabeth's words to Mary: 'Blessed is she who believed that therewould 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 confidenceto 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 stilldoing great things."-Father Dominic Izzo, O.P., Provincial of the Province of St. Joseph
