Christian Spiritual Journey- More photos from Women & Spirit

These pictures continue the history of the Christian spiritual journey of Sisters who often left their countries to come to the United States in obedience to Jesus' command to "Go and teach all nations."  They came.  What you see here is a musical instrument for them to teach their students, but also to brighten their own days in this strange land.  The shoes were made from corn husks.  They used what they found for their daily needs.

The picture below is a Sister who I believe founded the Oblate Sisters, which were a group of black Americans.  Very often, young black women that sensed they were being called to religious life by God were not accepted into all white congregations.  Thus, they founded their own congregation. 

The picture below was a book about the Sister who helped to discover DNA.  Sisters did all for the love of God, so they were not interested in being famous or even being given credit for what they did.  They did it so humanity could be better off.  If others took the credit, it was o.k. with them.

More pictures later.
