Sr Dominique Sasaki & the Need for Conversion‏

About this sermon

Sr. Dominique Sasaki was a “hibakusha” … a survivor of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. She was not Catholic when the A-bomb exploded over Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. After of year of incredible suffering and meeting Fr. Kleinsorge, S.J., who also was a bomb survivor, she was granted the grace of conversion. She was baptized just a little over a year after the explosion occured that changed her life. Later she entered religious life and became Sr. Dominique, helping many souls die in peace. One thing we can learn from her experience is the importance of cooperating with God’s graces to convert, not just to the Holy Catholic Faith, but to continue our conversion in that Faith, what the Benedictines call “conversion of manners.” May we not require a bomb to drop or a disaster to strike to continue our conversions.
