Episode Ep. 37: What Does She Know That I Don't? A Scientist's Yes to Christ (Sr. Mary Andre, O.P.)
What does it take to go from knowing a lot about God to actually knowing Him? Sr. Mary Andre, O.P. sits down with Sr. Miriam, O.P. to share her story, and it starts with a question that wouldn't leave her alone. An Ann Arbor native and lifelong lover of science, Sr. Mary Andre was studying biochemistry and imagining a future in a research lab, fascinated by the hidden workings of the cell, when a friend leaned over in the back of a car one night and simply prayed from the heart, speaking to Jesus as if she knew Him. Well catechized but spiritually restless, Sr. Mary Andre found herself wondering, "What does she know that I don't?" From there she and Sr. Miriam trace the moments that changed everything: a two-hour confession line at a Notre Dame summer camp where she gave the Lord her full attention and heard His voice in return, the "proposal moment" she still has journaled somewhere, and her need for a word she couldn't doubt before giving her whole self away. Along the way they talk about hearing God in Scripture and the Eucharist, the artistic gifts she now pours into convent chapels, and a striking image of the samurai sword, folded and hammered again and again, as a picture of how God uses suffering to make us strong and flexible for His Kingdom.
