In this clip from the "Ask Sister" podcast, a listener laments the difficulty of being a "God girl" when her peers don't take religion seriously. "When I told my friend that I wanted to be a nun, she asked why I wanted to ruin my life," the listener recalls. Dominican guests Srs. June Fitzgerald and Mattie Sterner have advice on making God part of your regular life — and question whether religious life can ruin you!

Francis' call for mercy toward all summarizes his vision of the church, writes Diego Mauro. (CNS/CPP/L'Osservatore Romano)
