I have listened to this podcast and found it very inspiring. Thank you, Sr. Peggy. And congratulations on 25 years as the Dominican Sisters of Hope. Joan Valk, your neighbor.
Peggy, your clear, measured words became a bridge on my personal journey. Thank you for making Catherine come alive for me in a new and very real way. You, my friend are a true daughter of Catherine, providing a bridge to her and Jesus for our times. Thank you and Congratulations, Your SSJ sister, The Other Peg

Thank you, Peggy, for highlighting this symbol of bridge of Catherine’s …so appropriate
and you said it so well. I am reading her dialogue right now and we have her statue in
our chapel during this pandemic since she knows the plague from her life and the death
of her siblings. We intercede for her help during this time. Bless you and your dear Sisters!
You remind me to keep my faith and hope in Christ, our bridge, as I face the turbulent waters of uncertain times. No matter what I face in life, I know Christ is with me. And that is enough for me.
Dear Sister Peggy,
Wow! There were so many “pearls” packed into this beautiful 7 minute “journey”. I wanted to stop several times along the way, just to sit with each inspiring message – and let it soak in step by step. I love this mystical image of Jesus as our bridge. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful reflection with me.

Thanks, Peggy. This is a great reflection on St. Catherine.
Dear Sister Peggy, How beautiful…and I would like to say “exciting” and “perfect” is YOUR BRIDGE from Catherine of Sienna’s time to our time. My outlook during these trying weeks and months, has sometimes been muddied with fear and uncertainty But your podcast has given me a new outlook. I resolve not to drown in the ills of today’s world, but rather to pay the toll, walk onto the BRIDGE of Christ, accept its challenges, enjoy its gifts, and live a new and more Christ-like life. Thank you so very much.
Even though I pray earnestly to remain hopeful and faith-filled, I find that recently doing that has become more difficult, and those feelings are sometimes replaced with fear and uncertainty. Your podcast, Sister Peggy, has given me a new outlook. I have resolved not to drown in the ills of today’s world, but rather to pay the toll, walk onto the BRIDGE of Christ, accept its challenges, enjoy its gifts, and live a new and more Christ-like life. Thank you.
