This beautiful woman, Sister Cathy, is my friend and my spiritual mentor.
She officiated my wedding, and 10 years later counseled us at the end of our marriage.
She blessed my beloved dog Elliott with holy oil at my wedding, and again 10 years later on the night he passed.
That night, he showed up in HER dreams to tell me he was OK!
She helped me stop destroying myself.
She knows my deepest secrets, which are no longer secrets.
She loves me unconditionally. I love her unconditionally.
She is my tour guide to God and she rocks my soul!
Cathy is a nun, a Sister of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. (So is Sister Kathryn! They're an amazing order of holy women!) That I'm not Christian or Catholic doesn't matter to her, just as it doesn't matter to my God. What matters is my openness and willingness to Spirit. Thy will, not mine, be done. Time and time again I've seen how God's will is always best for me. EGO = Edging God Out. The tricky part is learning discernment!
Spiritual magic happens when Cathy and I are together. I don't get to see her as much since I left Seattle, but I got to see her today while she's in Spokane. I am beyond lucky to have this woman in my life. To get to benefit from her energy, her love, her wisdom, her spirit.
"The essence of prayer is basking in God's love," she said today.
Bask in other sacred lives here.
