Sister Christine Wiltrakis, a Missionary Servant of the Most Blessed Trinity (MSBT), had the privilege of journeying to Latvia soon after the Eastern European country’s liberation from Russia to share the Catholic faith with their teachers. She learned that it was primarily the “babushkas” or grandmothers who kept the faith alive underground during their care-giving of the children, while parents were in the fields and factories.
Sister Chris has spent most of her life in situations such as this in service to God’s people as a woman religious. These days, you’ll find her, her wonderful smile, and her gentle kindness at the MSBT Blessed Shrine Retreat Center in Fort Mitchell, Alabama. She and the other sisters offer Christlike warmth and hospitality to all visitors, which is a good reminder to me about what the Lord desires in the way we treat our neighbors.
