Book excerpt: Sr. Mary Baruch told the novices in a conference on the Divine Office: "Praying the Psalms is like putting on a pair of old loafers that fit better and are more comfortable with each passing year." If you have met Sr. Mary Baruch from The Early Years (Volume I), you have followed her with each passing year, coming to know her family, her friends, and the sisters in her monastery - Our Lady Queen of Hope. They have lived through family crises and deaths, crises of faith and moments of saving grace, the devastation of 9/11, and the sexual and political scandals in the country, the Church, and the monastic world. Psalm 90 reads in part: "Our life is over like a sigh. Our span is seventy years or eighty for those who are strong . . . They pass swiftly and we are gone . . . " Well . . . Sr. Mary Baruch is in her seventies now and going strong amidst new crises in her family, among her few remaining friends, and certainly with the nuns in her cloistered monastery. With a shortage of vocations and the older generation passing away--what will become of everyone? Will Our Lady Queen of Hope even survive? Will her later years be like a pair of old loafers? Or have they become irrelevant and discarded? Will Sr. Mary Baruch continue into her eighties saying: "Such a blessing!" Or will it be rather, "Lord have mercy?"

Book excerpt: We first met Sr. Mary Baruch in Volume One, when her name was Rebecca Feinstein. She was a nice Jewish girl from the Upper West Side of Manhattan. To the chagrin of her good family, she became a Catholic, and five years later, at the age of twenty-five, she entered a Dominican cloistered monastery, where she became Sr. Mary Baruch of the Advent Heart. Those were the early years. In this present volume, she's in her middle ages and passing through her own midlife crisis. Having now been a nun for over twenty-five years, she finds that her family, her Church, her community, and her life are all going through changes and tragedies as the third millennium approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sr. Mary Baruch is not a proverbial "millennial." But like all of us she passed through the doors of the new millennium. Unlike most of us, her passage was in a cloistered monastery in Brooklyn Heights, New York. We first met her in "The Early Years" and accompanied her through her "Middle Ages." In this third volume we enter with her into the evening years, the "Vespers," of her cloistered life. From her Jewish childhood, the Passover, fulfilled in Christ, becomes her way of life. We enter with her into this wonderful and transforming Mystery in the ordinary and extraordinary events of her life. Meet her again, with her family and Sisters in community, and especially with the Lord.
