Instead, like many girls of her time, she entered because her family could not furnish her with a marriage dowry. Join Dr. David Moser and Dr. Jessica Ewell to find out how God used even this less-than-ideal situation to draw her close to Him and to make known the love He bears in His Sacred Heart for each one of us.
