Thank you for this story. I happen to have our latest order from these Dominican Nuns ( at The Cloister Shoppe) and have to confess that I passed by the book mention on last visit. But now I will surely get several copies. And we wondered what happened to their happy dog, Siena (he was pictured in their group photo). This goes it all together.

What a wonderful coming together of the nun’s work and yours, Jeff, assisted by Elizabeth Scalia. I wish I had had the wisdom to get you to write for us when I was at Aleteia—you are superb at it!

Beautiful project and great rendering of it coming to fruition! Splendid intersection of text and visual elements of cloistered life — book ordered and looking forward to its arrival. Congratulations to all involved for making this happen, and we’re blessed to ponder the words of joyful wisdom shared within it.

Wonderful

I should like to read this book.

It seems to me the struggle for love, for holiness and joy are all deeply intertwined.

Anything worthwhile in life involves effort .
