The Postmistresses of Jesus: A Conversation with Sr. Mary Martha Moss, FSP
Manage episode 450881168 series 3588069
This episode features Sr. Mary Martha Moss, a Daughter of St. Paul from Houma, Louisiana. Sr. Martha grew up in an interdenominational family, and did not attend Catholic schools in her youth. In high school, she found herself and many of her peers wanting to live the faith as young people, even within a more secular environment. When she was sixteen, a catechism teacher introduced her to the Daughters of St. Paul. The sisters wrote her letters up until her first year at Louisiana State University. Through these letters, visits to the convent, and her time helping at the Pauline bookstore, she discerned her call to join the congregation. In religious life, Sr. Martha has gone door-to-door sharing Pauline publishings during her first mission in New York, authored four books, been the Local Superior for the San Diego convent, and currently hosts the morning offering through her Facebook Live program called “Pause for Prayer.” Her favorite part of ministering has been being available to people in all of her ministry settings.
