I am Sr. Elizabeth Segleau, SDS. I clearly realize that you are a lay person, looking in from the outside on the life of Nuns and Sisters. <br /><br />Since you did not participate in our daily life, especially during the time we had to change out of the habit, you would never hold the understanding or knowledge of why and what we went through. We never consulted the lay about our troubles and hard decisions. As a younger Sister, I had to research it myself, directly from the source. So, I am not expecting you to know and I am not surprised at your comments above. I do invite you to go directly to the source, it is no secret what happened. We just chose not to share or burden anyone with our pain and the suffering that came with it. <br /><br />The pain, tears, struggles were accompanied by much dialogue with Rome. That is where the dialogue needed to be kept. <br />Some day, some where, some person will have to courage to write about this event that has puzzled the lay for decades. But it shall be written only when we are strong enough, ready enough and don't have to shed too many tears over the pages we shall share some day. <br /><br />So I ask for your prayers, understanding and if you are able, for some respect to all consecrated women who have given up their lives to serve God's people. <br /><br />God's blessing and strength be with us all.
