As the future Dominican Sr. Mary Michael Fox was poised to enter religious life, her mother had some reservations. To a priest, she gave him the what-for: "Can you believe it? She's going into the convent." To her daughter, she said, "I'm not sure you can do it."

In this clip from "In Good Faith," Sister Mary Michael tells about the answers her mom got from the priest and herself. And she admits, "I didn't know really what I was in for. I just knew I loved Jesus."
