| St. Veronica's in Milwaukee Wisconsin - Tuesday, March 31, 2009 Sr. Nancy Murray received a standing ovation from a sellout crowd at St. Veronica's. She was received with enthusiasm and appreciation for her performance of St. Catherine of Siena. We all felt like we were taken back in time and witnessing this great saint's life of humility, spirituality and, of course, her sense of humor. We were able to relate the trials she faced to those we face in today's society, knowing we too will get through the tough times with God's help and our determination to do His holy will. Sr. Nancy drew in the audience, by walking among us and speaking to individuals as well as getting the children involved in a little song and dance. We were not only entertained in a very delightful way, but also given a spiritual uplifting. Comments we heard were, "she was fantastik", "what a wonderful way to learn about the saints", "she made me feel good with her realness and wit", "this was great, when is she coming back?" One of the children's comments, "I really like her....she made me laugh". Our pastor commented that this was the best way to end his week's retreat. Monica |
