Sister of Life Grace Dominic: "A Love That Shapes Eternity" 2018 Women's Conference

On Saturday, March 10, women from across the Diocese gathered for a day of inspiring witness, prayer and Mass.
“A woman who knows she is loved can do anything,” Sister of Life Grace Dominic said, quoting Mother Mary Frances.
“The capacity that one has to love is incredible," Sister Grace added. The topic of her talk was "A Love That Shapes Eternity."
Sister of Life Grace Dominic, spoke to the women about the power of knowing their identity in Christ. She shared the story of her fellow sister, who was asked one day by a kindergartener why she wore a veil. The sister began to explain that the veil was like a wedding veil and that she was a bride of Christ. With surprise and confusion, the little girl asked, “He chose you?”
The women attended morning Mass with Bishop Michael F. Burbidge. In his homily, he spoke about the importance of humility, as seen in the wonderful example of the tax collectors as well as Mary and Christ.
“Humility reminds us that in the end, the only thing that truly matters is that we’re found pleasing in the sight of God,” he said. “May we with all humility say, ‘Lord, be merciful to me, a sinner.’ And may we go forth in intimation of Jesus, and wash the feet of one another.”
