How do religious women cope with the suffering of terminal illness? Here is the testimony of two of them. Margaret Lewis, 90 years old. She is suffering from cancer. She feels no pity for herself and endures thanks to the prayers of the women around her. Mary Graig, 56. She draws strength from the prayers of her community and the service she still gives to others. Members of the Sisters of St. Francis in Philadelphia, both credit their parents with surrounding them with the love and strength that enable them to face the challenges of living with chronic illness and pain.
