Monastery Of St. Gertrude's Podcast

This week we are going to hear from Sister Margie Schmidt. She is the first person I've interviewed who is part of the Monastery, but is still living out in the broader community doing work on behalf of the Monastery. She works at St. Joseph's Hospital in Lewiston Idaho, and that's where we met. She's the hospital chaplain, and we met in her office where you will hear the occasional creak of her comfortable rocking chairs as we chatted. Her perspective as someone who hasn't lived on site at the Monastery for many decades was eye-opening to me about how many different ways a person can be deeply committed to a relationship. But I'll let her tell you about it.
