  • Read more about A nun on the run, part 2: More lessons from running and prayer

I was recently approved to profess my first vows as a Dominican Sister of Sinsinawa. The act of public commitment to God in the context of community is both ineffable and concrete: It's sign and symbol and lived reality all wrapped up in one. That's a lot to take in! As I prepare, I again turn to a familiar subject for insight: running and prayer.

  • Read more about Syrian and Iraqi refugees wait in Lebanon for safety, new life

After fleeing their home countries because of war, people from Iraq and Syria find refuge but no legal status as they shelter in Lebanese refugee camps and substandard housing situations. Only about a third find regular apartments; work is scarce, and a network of service providers see pressure points growing increasingly strained.

Notes from the Field - There is such power in simply being present, simply being open to listening to someone's story without looking for the perfect response or advice to give, just being. Stories of strength, resiliency, and the love of God are present in every survivor, and it is beyond encouraging.

  • Read more about Their sisters' keeper: Siblings bring additional joy to religious life

The Immaculate Conception Monastery, a grand convent that crowns the rolling landscape for miles, is home to about 150 Sisters of St. Benedict. It's also home to four sisters. During the first half of the 1900s, it was common for multiple siblings to enter religious life. We talked with four of them who are Benedictines: Sr. Mary Carmen Spayd and Sr. Mary Carmel Spayd, who are twins, and Sr. Rosemary Dauby and Sr. Agnes Marie Dauby, who were born a year apart.
