Excerpts


"In the final analysis, fasting is not an end in itself, but a practice that enhances our love of God and of neighbor."
From "Why Catholics Fast"

"Whenever there was a political or social issue that affected American life, women religious were there. They may not have been the first or the most important or the only ones there, but they were there."
From "Overlooked Narrators"

"I should have kissed him. I know that now. But he was after all only a clown, his face covered with grease paint and his clothes in tatters."
From "Requiem for a Clown"
