What an important vocation is that of the religious sister! The consecrated virgin, bride of Christ! It is in her that we all see manifest our relationship to the Lord. It is through her that we witness true womanhood. Her role in catechesis, in prayer, in service and care!
When a priest sees a sister, he sees her purity and selfless gift to the Lord and is motivated to get his act together. The husband is reminded of the beauty and precious treasure that is his wife, the wife is reminded of her call to be open and receptive and selfless for her husband. To all she is living the very archetype of humanity’s relationship with God: she is in every sense His bride.
