If I can add something to this: The Sister could have persevered, I believe, if she had trusted in God's love and mercy. She tried to do it on "her own". A great moral teaching here for all of us; God is everything. He has to be the Absolute in every life. Our own ideas of perfection have to die; His have to live in us.

ReplyDeleteI've never seen it!
Oh, you must. Absolutely must.
ReplyDeleteE - yep - you must. Most of it - or key scenes are on Youtube. The book is better of course - but the film is superb. The ending is so sad.
ReplyDeleteHeart breaker. Did you ever hear the story that woman, upon whom the film was based, lived with another woman and was thought to be a homosexual?
ReplyDeleteThe whole movie is on YouTube - I just finished watching it for the first time. It was GREAT, but I was so disappointed that she left.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Terry!
