This episode features Sr. Susanna of the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary. She is from Sicily, Italy, and has been a part of her community for ten years. Currently, she is the Servant Superior of the formation house in the Houma-Thibodaux region. In her youth, she frequently attended mass with her grandmother, and was told Bible stories in place of fairy tales at bedtime. As a teenager, Sr. Susanna’s connection with the Church weakened as she attempted to discover what would bring her absolute joy. In college, she majored in philosophy and sought answers to her questions about life, death, and true happiness. She would find the answers through God. Sr. Susanna says that she has always been a “very radical kind of person,” which fits well with the radical evangelical poverty that her community embraces. The community, nonetheless, provides for their underprivileged parishioners.
