Who can top God? Sister Jackie vows to keep God as her employer forever!

In a simple but moving ceremony surrounded by Sisters, family and friends in the monastery chapel August 23, 2014, Sister Jackie Walsh, OSB, made her final monastic profession.

"I wasn't running away from anything. I had my own house. I drove cars. I made my own decisions. . . . I had a good-paying job," Sister Jackie said.

"But I have such a sense of peace that I didn't have before and I don't think there's a better employer anywhere. I mean, who can top God? God's love and compassion and mercy are boundless." Read the Catholic Post's full story!
