I was 17 years old when l came to the convent, 18 when l entered the novitiate. I know a lot of people could probably never understand… Never understand how someone so young with their entire life ahead of them would want to give it all away to God. They think of nuns today, and they see a bunch of old women. Women who couldn’t find husbands, or for some reason, just couldn’t make it in the outside world. So they ran off to a monastery to escape everything. What they don’t understand is that beneath everything else… We were women in love.
