I was directed to an article in a local paper yesterday about a couple of nuns who travel with the Ringling Brothers Circus. At first I thought he might be kidding, as he often does, but to my pleasure I read the article for myself.
This article is interesting and informative. These ladies portray the essence of 'ministry.' They are servants in the grandest style. They 'take care' of those who entertain audiences around the globe. They will never find themselves in the spotlight in the center ring. They will not likely hang from the trapese nor balance on the tightrope. They will, however, remain backstage, take care of children, replace lost buttons on costumes and utter silent prayers as the performers take their places in the arena and receive cheers and applause for stunning feats and dazzling beauty.
These nuns have found their spot for ministry. And they love it.
