In Polish accent: (Siostra Mary) Sister Mary died last week. I’m (Bascia) Barbara Ann, and it’s traumatic for me because in a poor, but hard-working large family of 12 kids, the youngest is bound to watch other’s die. The middle Sister Rose, was the slave of the family, only going to 8th grade and helping Mama around the house when Mama had to work like Rosie the Riveter in World War II. It’s like that in all Slav or Slave (I scream out Slave) European countries. I was the baby girl but not pampered. Just the opposite: I was forced to babysit outside the home by Mama’s fist, when just 5 years-old for Sister Joan’s baby.

In the movie the “The Magdalene sisters” (Mullans 2002) we see that girls weren’t allowed to talk to each other when working because nun’s feared that if the girls talked to each they would give information about their family member or even their children who were placed in orphanages which were next to the Magdalene Laundries.

Catalina sent her sons to a poor boarding school, where John started learning about religion, he studied about many parts of the Carmelites order.

Thus, the fear of lost control and power of the male hegemonic dominance, women have been ostracized, discriminated, and misunderstood; displacing them in a gloomy mansard. The most disconcerting thing is that women for centuries have been convincing themselves of that diabolical idea. It is true that there have been some glimmers of light that have been recognized by the patriarchal authority that governs the world. However, today women are not allowed to shine in all their splendor. This is precisely what I understand about Mary Magdalene’s place in the Savior’s physical and spiritual life. Her presences is vital in the transmission, guidance, understanding, and teaching of the Savior’s message.
As Agnes grew up, her relationship with Christ was strengthened and at the age of 12 she heard the Lord call her to give her life to him. Agnes, seeking to do God’s will, at the age of 18 left to join the Loreto Sisters in Dublin, Ireland. When Agnes told her mother she was leaving to become a Sister her mother although very sad because she knew she would probably never see her daughter again gave her one last piece of advice, “Put your hand in his . . . and walk all the way with Him” (Scott 43).

This marked the beginning of her life long journey to be a witness of Christ to others and the love she would out pour upon all who encountered her.
