If you listen regularly to Among Women you may recall my interview with Sr. Olga of the Eucharist, the campus minister from Boston University. Sister is an Iraqi born Christian who became a religious sister, and in recent years became a US citizen. You can go back and hear that interview here.
Sister Olga gave a very stirring presentation about her life with Christ and the Catholic Church last month at the Boston Catholic Women's Conference. Catholic TV was there and their video presentation of that talk is available here. Give yourself an hour to hear her story.
As you watch or listen, offer up prayers for those Christians in Iraq who continue to suffer persecution... especially these Dominican nuns currently defending their convent in the face of terror.

Among Women Podcast #41
St. Olga was a convert to the faith and she sought to bring Christianity to her homeland, Russia... her vision was fulfilled in her grandson, St. Vladamir.
Sr. Olga of the Eucharist is a religious sister now serving as a Catholic campus minister. In our interview, Sr. Olga describes her inspirations for her religious vocation, plus she talks about her ministry experiences. Born and raised in Iraq, Sr. Olga shares suggestions on how we can "love our neighbor" with the love of Christ, even when our country is at war.
