"Discerning to join religious life can be a long and difficult process. Luckily, for students at Benedictine College in Kansas, Sr. M. Karolyn Nunes - the U.S. vocations director of the Sisters of St. Francis of the Martyr St. George - was recently on hand to lend advice.
"However, as she sat behind her booth that offered 'Discernment Help: 5 cents' - a nod to an old Peanuts
gag in the renowned comic strip that sees Charlie Brown's nemesis Lucy
Van Pelt giving out services behind her lemonade stand - the religious had a huge smile while holding a baby belonging to one of the college's parents in her arms."
In a recent commentary, writer Cerith Gardiner
reflected on some ways Sr. Karolyn showed that religious vocations and marriage both involve a deep devotion to caring for others as well as sharing the message of God in
slightly different ways.
