Cathy Elliott is a seeker. She’s always looking for ways to deepen her relationship with the Lord, not so much in a restless way as in a thirst to grow closer. I first met her
through the Cursillo movement… earlier, she was very involved in the Legion of Mary, a lay association that seeks to build up the Catholic faith. A few years ago, I was privileged to attend the gathering where Cathy took her first step toward becoming a Lay Dominican.
While Cathy spends much time in prayer and contemplation, her charism also includes boundless hospitality, whether it’s offering up muffins for the pre-dawn Advent novena at our old parish or opening her home to prayer discussions. Cathy shows me that devoting ourselves to God rather than treating faith as a check-the-box exercise results in inner and outer beauty.
