For Mothers' Day, CBS Sunday Morning had several segments about mothers. One Mother they included was probably not a mother that many would ever really think about as a mother. They talked about Mother Dolores Hart...
Who used to be...
She gave a great witness to faith and the religious life on a national television show. She described the decision to enter the monastery as "like falling in love." They asked her, if she ever questioned her decision to leave Hollywood behind and she said every day for the first seven years. I thought this was great, because it shows that this life takes dedication and love, not insanity and ill-logic like most probably think it is. They also asked why she has remained a member of Hollywood actors guilds, and she explained that if she didn't keep in touch and know their problems, how could she pray for them. I think we all know they need prayers.
Anyway, it was simply a refreshing story compared to the other women's empowerment stories that they were running.
