God and Woman at Harvard →
Q: You wanted to go to graduate school but discerned that God wanted something else. Why would you give up your free will like that?
MARKS: Part of the answer is that when Love asks you to be His spouse, you don’t quibble about the when and where. The other part is that anything worthwhile in life requires an ongoing, freely willed surrender of one’s freedom.
Mary Anne Marks, summa cum laude of Harvard, is interviewed about her chosen path to become a religious sister of the Dominican Order. A very beautiful piece especially recommended for those discerning the religious life as well.
