Habits: The Good, The Bad, and The Holy
Habits, for religious sisters, are vestments worn for modesty and identification of a life dedicated to Christ. But, for those not vowed to religious life, habits are the daily choices that make us who we are. What's remarkable about these women, is that their habits are changing the world. Each week, we sit down with Adorers of the Blood of Christ religious sisters to hear how their habits have become more than a symbol for their vocation, they've become a means to change the world.
