Behind the convent walls with Oprah



By Mary DeTurris Poust

If you missed Oprah's feature on the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, this week, you can watch it here now. The Sisters are inspiring and joyful -- and incredibly brave for putting themselves out there before the cameras and answering questions so honestly. Their message of love and sacrifice and commitment flies in the face of everything our secular society holds dear. I think even Oprah was pleasantly surprised by what she learned. Here's hoping the Sisters get a lot more vocations because of this show, although they seem to be doing just fine on their own. (The clip above is Part 1.
