I just got a note today from the Poor Clares announcing the death, on Feb. 11, of Mother Mary Frances. She would have been 85 years old today.
Sr. Margaret Charles and I met Mother Mary Frances at the Roswell monastery, when we were in New Mexico for a series of catechetical book fairs and talks. The sisters gave us the run of their guest house, and I had my first experience of plainchant and of just what "discalced" meant. We also spent an hour of recreation with the sisters (they were on one side of the screen, we on the other).
So may Mother Mary Frances' noble soul rest in peace.

M. Mary Francis was the author of "A Right to Be Merry," right? Thank you so much for sharing the news. I am not sure I would have found out otherwise. May she rest in peace!
Thanks for posting this; I didn't know.
Have you seen Juliet lately?
