Prayer Notes: Sister prays often and she doesn’t keep it to herself. You can hear her in conversation with God every time she picks up her clarinet and brings music into the air. You can see it as she spends time with those less fortunate, gently holding out her arm to help, her heart a plaintive melody on her sleeve.

Day by day, day by day, Oh, Dear Lord, three things I pray, To see You more clearly, love You more dearly, follow You more nearly.”
