EWTN Live - 2013-08-28- Mother Dolores Hart - An Actress' Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows

in Hollywood she was considered the next Grace Kelly but the allure of the silver screen wasn't enough to keep her name on the marquee and her career in the spotlight we'll find out why tonight on EWTN live so please stay with us thank you very much and welcome I'm father Mitch Pacwa and here we are at EWTN live which is our chance to be new guests from all over the world before we get to tonight's guests I want to mention that today is a great feast of st. Augustine of Hippo he was Hippo was a town in North Africa and he was born there and 3:54 was he was born in fig osteen but then uh he went over the carthage studied there became a professor in rome and worked in the imperial court and had tried a cult he had that called Manicheans he had a woman that he lived with as his concubine for fourteen years they had a son until he sort of just dismissed her as socially uh it was less than what he should want it to be and finally he came to meet Christ he turned away from his materialist point of view and from the cult that he joined and came to the Catholic faith after many years of his mother praying for him to do just that and so he then turned to become a great as matter of fact some would say the greatest of the father's for sure and one of the two greatest theologians in the history of the church along with st. Thomas Aquinas so we celebrate him and pray for all those folks we know who may have come from a Catholic home but have strayed from the faith that they might find the satisfaction and the intellectual integrity that san agustin is able to provide now our guest tonight won over hollywood studio executives and she angered teenage girls across the country when she gave elvis presley his first screen kiss in 1957 now Paramount Studios film loving you is where she did that and then she went on to strength understanding in Hollywood as a big stream star acting alongside George Hamilton in the 1960 MGM hit where the boys are and followed up that success was a Tony Award and Golden Globe nominations for her work on stage and in the screen but in 1963 she left the glamour of Hollywood to follow God's casting call for her to live as a cloistered nun a Benedictine nun in Bethlehem Connecticut so please welcome our guest mother Dolores Hart welcome welcome good to have you here again it's been a few years since you've been on our program yes Paul you came here before with some of your sisters but apparently you've been pretty busy since then writing a book called the ear of the heart well this was with my very good friend dick denude whom I knew ever since I was in Hollywood uh-huh and dick said to me and I must have been 2003 you know we better write your memoir before you get too old to remember anything I thought it's good you always have to have a friend oh shoot straight yep we know it it always seems to me that writing a memoir or autobiography is um something like baby bears porridge you don't want to do it too early because you don't know where your life is going yet you don't want to do it too late because you don't want to forget where your life is going so you didn't just just write now what is a of course everybody wants to know a couple things how did you get into film in the first place well it was a long story because see I lived in California and had wanted to be an actress since I was very little because my daddy went off to Hollywood it was found by a screen I guess they called a scout scout yes and he thought he looked a lot like car cable which he did and so he my mom and he went to California when I was just a baby I stayed with my grandparents until I was about 11 years old and then rejoined my mother in California but all the while I had it in my mind I want to do that my grandfather was a projectionists the rongzi theatre and I used to go with him on the weekends he would sleep and every time the wheel would come to a certain point I had to go wake him up nothing thank God I got a nickel a disc so that it wasn't a nickel was worth a nickel that's when it was worth it if not more and so so you had this desire and you got to Hollywood what opened the doors for you to get into movies I had done us a part of st. John to get my scholarship for college and then found out that Loyola University was doing this play so my boyfriend Don barble took a picture of me a wildly funny picture and he said I'm going to send it around to all the movie people which he did and within the couple weeks we got a phone call back from Paul Nathan at Paramount films and Paul was the assistant associate producer for Hal Wallis so they wanted me to come and try out I guess to do a screen test for a film they were doing well I was flabbergasted believe me and more so when they took the screen test and they called me again and said you've got the part so this is you know it's just trying to get yourself out there in you're able to do that and what was the first film well that was the thing that really was the winner because I met the people in Italy Scott was a real movie star Wendell quarry and then they introduced me to this young man and I greeted and he said how do you do mr. Laurence he said my name is Elvis Presley and I see what do you do you just know about him honestly honestly I I was so wrapped up in myself you know kids are and what I wanted and I guess the songs just weren't up my alley at that but it was he just left I thought he would fall over he was he thought that was the funniest thing and I think it was good because it got us off to a very vulnerable start you know but then they said the first day's shooting would be in a certain amount of days but it would be the last scene in the picture which I discovered that the Hollywood does that they don't do it in the order of the film they do when they feel like doing it and it's convenient yeah and this was the last this was the big kiss so he'll counter gave us a description of how to do it you know so you keep your your eyes from making the shadows on one another's face and so on and you said that I will see Rollem and cut when it's finished so he says rollin and we go into the clinch and suddenly within three seconds he says cut and I thought what could I have done wrong in that three minute or three seconds but he came over and you said Wally Westmore that was the makeup man would you please come over and put something on her ears they're turning red so so that that scene that you know became famous as Elvis's first onscreen kiss um was the first scene you did with him that's right and was it all downhill from there actually it was great fun because it gave me the opportunity to discover what a great talent he had yeah I went to every every shot where he was singing just to hear and even if I wasn't in the shot I wanted to be there on stage and I found out he was as good as they said yeah well he uh you and he were also in another film together King Creole that's right that's right two years later did this time I was signed by mr. Wallace to a seven-year contract and this film took us down to the lasa note C n Louisiana right and all of the streets were jammed with kids everybody in New Orleans was out to get a glimpse of him you couldn't drive to where you wanted to go so they had to build I guess ramps from one building to the next for us to get to our job but meanwhile we would go to a hotel room and wait inevitably Elvis would go over and pick out the Gideon Bible and open it up some place that he'd probably anywhere in the Bible and he would say this is what it says he would read it and then talk about it and then the next time you would give the book to me and say you opened it and I was amazed by that because I thought this is a boy who has had a good mother who's taught him the values of his Christian life yeah yeah and I was right because he when you hear him sing the gospel songs oh the you get whole albums love his gospel music that there are still I see them advertised on television because he really put his heart and soul into those gospel hymns now this you know and you you went on to do other movies and such um you know where the boys are was a big hit oh you did some Broadway plays and that one that was you did well there what there's there's a couple steps because you were not at this time of practicing Catholic or anything were you oh yes oh you were oh yes actually I was started to be a Catholic when I was with my grandmother at age nine and she sent me to a Catholic school Oh because the hottest in school was across the the railroad tracks and so was she she said well they'll teach you well there and I noticed that the kids didn't go to Nass the same way I did they had to fast from midnight and then they did something at mask and after mass they had sweet rolls in chocolate milk so I said to the teacher you think I could have some bread with the children and she said what did you say and she went to the priest and so I think little Dolores would like to be a Catholic she wants the Eucharist so she said if she takes catechism lessons fine so back to granny and said you know I can have chocolate milk and sweet rolls okay catechism crack-up it's did your grandmother accept that incentive she said you're old enough to do what you want I don't understand it but you go ahead all right so so you started taking catechist as kind of your own initiative definitely chocolate milk and rolls or initiative but a step it was a step and I mean Lord certainly got the crowd over with loaves and fish I'll take the chocolate milk any day well that's a very good analogy because he uses everything in anything if he can get to our heart or our taste buds yep and so then you became a Catholic and you're so you living your Catholic faith in this Hollywood and Broadway scene all right right and it was it had his moments of attention and the but for the most part I would say that the people that I worked with in Hollywood were very good to me and very respectful of my values I had I had a very very good friend Maria Janice Cooper and she was Gary Cooper's daughter oh yeah Gary Cooper Gary Cooper was a star when he was a little boy the little rascal yeah that's right uzo that's my level of comprehension he was the only other person who ever said miss Delores until I got to the monastery and everybody had to be Miss somebody you know when they came in but going back to Maria she was a great help to me and kind of kept me on those straight and narrow and Hollywood and told me where I could go and where I shouldn't go I've ever even got a picture of Maria Cooper and Patricia Neal up there for the folks to see oh yes and so these folks helped you in your Catholic life but you know if you've got your Catholic life gone and basic support and respect um what led you to the convent well when I did the play in New York I was there about eight months and getting very tired and I didn't have enough money or contacts to have a place to go or about you know a place in the country so a friend of mine said I know this place in Connecticut where you could go and of a wonderful couple of days when we're dark and I said do they have nuns and she said well yes but they don't talk they're cloistered and I said well alright I'll give it a try so I went to Regina loudest and father I tell you the minute I put my foot on the ground there I knew something was of God for me I knew I just knew this was where I belonged and I had a chat with Reverend Mother at that time and she said well Delores I know how you feel but I really think you better go back in and do your Hollywood thing I think that's where the Lord really wants you now so you get that out of your system and when you get a little more mature we can talk about other ideas it was so relieved and so how much longer than did you wait before you went uh it you know left Hollywood behind and went to the did you do more movies oh I did father that's actually after that I did where the boys are all right that's what George Hamilton - right and then a film called the st. Francis of Assisi and I was asked to play st. Claire and that was that was a surprise because I didn't feel very saintly and then but I said if you'll send me to Assisi maybe I can go visit her and ask what she could give me and you know did you go to Assisi I did indeed and going to see st. Claire in her tune really kept as she she is all of these years it was it was very moving sight yeah a lot of folks don't realize but you know even though she died in the 13th century her body has not decayed now you know laid out there and um is your body and that's very it just takes you because you wonder about this mystery of body where Jesus says after we die we get our bodies back it doesn't say we give your souls back or we give you some spiritual thing back but your body and when I saw st. Claire I said you know that's absolutely true because she looks like she's that got it back right there yeah she's certainly more ready than then I would be well the UM so you did this movie on st. Francis you played st. Claire or any other movies well the next movie I really think this was the one that steered me in the direction because it was immune to the community and to the monastic life it was a film called Lisa with Stephen Boyd about a woman who had been in a concentration camp and used as a medical experiment by the Nazis and I just I was so taken I never realized that one nation could take advantage of another to that extent because I was young and not really exposed in that way I mean and I don't think that in the 1950s the full impact what happened really set in the mindset that really began to get more clear in the 60s and people could reflect so this this role had an impact on you well they asked me to meet a young woman who had actually been in Auschwitz Suzanne's Edda she was there from the time she was 14 until that war ended and Suzanne said something to me that was very important in terms of standing Redemption because she said that when the Nazi soldiers came into her house without entering the door or just came barging through one of them came up to her and she had long black braids which she loved and worked on very much he took the braids in his hand reached to his belt and took out a knife and just blew clipped it right off of her and then put the braid braid in her face and said now you Jew I made some vulgar remark is you now belonging to me and she said nothing nothing really destroyed her sense of femininity and her sense of person at that moment and I realized that playing lisa was really a way to understand the need for redemption that we have as a corporate people because for persons to be hurt or ruined or taken advantage of by someone else is not the plan of God and you have to you have to stand against that in whatever way you can but after that it really that really made me wonder is my work as a movie actress is that sufficient for what I was meant to be or to do because I really understood that everyone was different was unique was God's own creation and that you know it's it's fascinating to me that you come to that conclusion that each person is unique when you are in a business that you're playing other people and in playing other people you realize the uniqueness of each and every one that's a fascinating juxtaposition of experiences you're right on target father that was exactly what happened because to play a part or a character was was always to meet a person that I had to I had to give them my own body to present who they were and what their purpose was in life and so as you think about that uniqueness of the of each person and you see that not just as a career choice but in the context of God this brings you back to your vocation well there was not a full understanding believe me but I had a strong instinctual belief when I met they the mothers at Regina loudest that it was through this devoted prayer life because we we sing Matins Lodz two times a day sex to known that then back again at Vespers and complan which seems like a lot to people who are not called to that but it is through that devotion to prayer life and the singing of that together it's that that communal you know prayer and dedication to a life of that's the rhythm of all life in a monastery is around the hours of the day where you pray that's right and I think the rhythm of getting to know each one and to understand the call of each person there's a is a tremendous sense of community that grows I I tell you it's been a wonderful thing to be on this book tour but I miss being with like my family my community because singing with them there's nothing else that meets that you know and just so folks understand there was a point at which you had this to decide between a million dollar movie contract or giving up all ownership of money and stuff to go to the convent that was the choice you had before you I know and that was um that that was a very very honest decision of our Abbess because she said I know you want to do this but you take six months now and work this out according to your own place don't speak about this to anyone except I had to tell Don Robinson I was engaged to him yeah it's good to tell the guy you're engaged to me to marry and because it was through his int it was through him that I got to monastery at that time because we had gone to a party together and he said Dolores you were not with us at that party you're not here are you in love with someone else I think you should go to that monastery and get your mind clear little did he know hope so anyway when I came back and met him and I told him you've never seen such an angry man but then he came down to himself and he's but you know what all love relationships don't end at the altar I promise you I will be with you all the way through this I said Don you don't you don't have to say that and he said of course I don't but I will love you what those can I say and you know he never married but he did stay such a faithful friend oh that's great up until he died 18 months ago no we're Oh God rest his soul um I just have to ask one question for audience you belong to the Benedictine special forces unit yeah I know what you're driving I know this was given to me many years ago by our Abbess when I complained about my head being cold cause I had a lot of hair and I wore it up in buns and so on and she said I think I have something for you that will help the camp but she didn't give me all the jazz okay there you go well I just want to let people know about your book it's called the ear of the heart and this is uh your biography your memoirs you did this with um Richard the newt and um you know we want to let people know that this book which is an actresses journey from Hollywood to holy vows you can get this over at ewtn religious catalogue just go to ewtn religious catalogue calm or you can call them 1 800 850 4 6 3 1 6 and I think you'll like it but we have to take a little break want to come back because some of you may have a few questions to ask mother Delores so please stay with us thank you thank you welcome back first of all before we get to some of these issues I want to mention that um if you have a chance to come be part of our lives to your audience we would love to have you please contact our pilgrimage department here at EWTN and they will help you with all sorts of important information you can call them at two zero five two seven one two nine six six or you can also go to the web site ewtn.com and they'll give you lots of information about different things that a place to stay scheduling amasses programs tours directions up to Hanceville to be able to pray with the sisters all that be part of it so we'd love to have you come and join us are you ready for some questions I am father cleaners start off with a phone call we have Mary Ann Oh Mary Ann hi papa how are you where you from I'm from New York great and your question I have a question for mother Delores I think wonderful I just love your story and I just have a brief question you know for a number of years I felt it you know calling or an interest in pursuing the religious life but my main fear has always been if you know I do pursue that that I'm going to miss my life on the outside and we miss the civilian life and I was hoping if you could share you know some meditations or prayers or other forms of encouragement that have helped you sustain your vocation in the pursuit of glory of God the Father the Son and the Holy Spirit and I appreciate on your being on here and God bless you so much I thank you for taking my question thank you Mary Ann it's all about that issue of missing the outside world I think that you have to go back to the fact that a vocation is a call in love it really comes from that Center of yourself where you love the place you love the people and you love being there I think that for me in any way being on the outside is a wonderful gift but all I wanted to do is get home yeah yeah yeah I I sensed the same issue for me in religious life I um I don't want to be out of my order you know this is this is where the Lord calls and gives that peace that lasts uh and you said why would I want to be someplace else you know I love doing what I do to serve our Lord and that's a great joy that you free I don't think what's about what it'd be like out there so let's we have a lot of guests who come frequently to the monastery and you hear the suffering and the concern the difficulties so it's it's not like you're missing much you're gratefully not having to take much yeah no no no I think I think that it's you know being married being in the world has real struggles of its own it's hard and we've got struggles in religious life but it's just a matter of which problems our Lord thinks you'll do best at dealing with that's going out to mention which troubles you'll do best at causing we have a question first to yours man where are you from I am from right here in Birmingham now father good to have you here in your question my question is I heard another program where you mentioned you were still a part of the motion picture actress of actors group anyway their votes it's the motion that gave me motion picture arts and sciences thank you and so you still vote on the movies and you still do you get them in the convent how do you do that you select what you want to see or well I began to be a member of the Motion Picture Academy in 1960 after where the boys are and an actor has to have your your I think you have to have your name above the title before you can ask at least in those years you did you know and when I entered the monastery Mother Abbess said I I don't think you have to be an active member anymore can you just be like a holding member well I said fine that I'll accept that I have to but in 1992 I think of my 25th anniversary Karl Malden was the president or your kateri and Karl called me and said do you think they can trust you now have you been there long enough that you could start doing an active voting again and mother said please go ahead and what the I said Carla I don't know what to do well he sent me a beautiful it's not the same thing we have now it was an early form where you put in a disc and the and you have a photograph on the screen that comes with it so I have that down in my office and my bird and I have a wonderful parrot who loves the movies and we watched just whatever comes if it comes to the point where you know it's just really not going to make it you don't waste your time on it right but you kind of know what holds you like lay miserably I was right there every free moment I had yeah yeah yeah yeah some movies are really important matter of fact you went to the Oscars yourself recently what was that last year or this year that was in 2012 I think 2012 in the reason they did a documentary about you mhm HBO networked did that that's right yeah it was called God is bigger than Elvis well Elvis knew that no I think it was God is the bigger Elvis although it went the other way around Elvis got the thought they go will you call it big that's a yes anyway you know but Elvis dude that God was bigger than he that's really and you don't want to be called the king no not at all yeah but um so you went over there I saw a shadow view uh on our news I didn't I don't watch the Oscars um but you know that they had a shot of you uh you weren't dressed like everybody else no in fact I had my my own habit and I had our Cowell that we wear for us for our Vespers which is a beautiful garment that this lives quite elegant and they said just where would you have it that's the best-looking outfit you can find and that was for me you know the funny part was when we got on the carpet I thought this was a riot I mean just banks and banks of kids screaming and all those photographs it seemed like going into ancient the world of the and uh I guess in the Coliseum when you walked in and we're thrown to the Lions yeah but he wrote to the paparazzi but while we were standing there this fellow who was now very known for his antics came by and threw a black suit all over the guy that was next to him and I don't know in the context of that they all thought I was dressed up as a gag all wasn't real also um I decided I'm not going to argue with anybody ya know it you know I must say I've been very disappointed by some of the things that Hollywood does to people especially to young women it seems to be highly problematic Disney Company seems to just spit them out in a tomb up and spit them out it's very sad let's take another call we have Mary were you from Mary good evening father and mother Tavares passed curtsy I am from Connecticut and neighbor of Bethlehem oh great what's your question the question mine is the opposite but I'm curious with eppela sing song to you Reverend Mother how long did it take for your discernment when I was in reversal of your role I was going into the convent my mind was set up that was my direction but on All Saints Day in All Saints Church I got the words you are to Mary and of course father Mitch being a Jesuit will be very pleased my husband-to-be at the time he was he thought I thought he was crazy of course that he wanted to marry me because they kept saying I'm going into the convent but I got my answer and I called from the rectory from where that my confessor was and the Confessor said well you must do what the Holy Spirit is leading you to so now I'm 63 years married but dear Reverend Mother how long did it take you because it seemed forever for me I will hang up and I now you like this is it possible to have a retreat at your house well let's deal with those two questions first of all congratulations on 63 years of marriage that is a very good start now in terms of how long it took to um you know discern this vocation how long was that process for you well I'll tell you this and I was pretty classical in my steps because we are postulant for a year and then we have novitiate for a couple of years and then we have another to another part we call commitment where you are really committed to that elemental that usually spawned to the area where you feel you can do something particular and good I'm one of our sisters just committed to the book bindery and so it's that clear in and through the elemental that is the key I think in the monastery to finally beginning to find vows because first vows come then about a year later and then you have a 1 to 9 years to make up your mind for your final vows I think that's very important for people to understand you know for us the seminary training takes a number of years you don't just sort of hook them and grab them and just slap them into work but it's a process of discernment by us and by the community in same thing with Benedict ins and the other orders it's a process of ongoing listening to God and seeing if that peace lasts those years and I do think that something in you knows that you're moving in the right direction or even they'll come periods where you just can't face it you think no this isn't right but you do what you know you must and somehow that carries you through to a final point of stability and I do think a very important part of this is coming to know and love your community and really saying I want to be with these people that's a very that's not something you can pass off no because you don't live with God alone you've got the community and that's extremely important sticking another call hello damn is Dan there hello I hear him but he's not responding about it oh there ya were you from dance calling from Connecticut neighbor of Regina Lourdes oh great one day and your question yes I might ask mother doors the Hollywood of the 1950's her Hollywood was quite different from the Hollywood of today I wonder if she could comment about the save today's motion picture industry does she see some hope hopefully that might be a return to more motion pictures with great values in the judeo-christian sense or does she feel as so many of us do that it's just a lost cause at this particular time with that I'll hang up and listen to her her answer thank you thank you Dan well I think the movies really try to reflect the desire and the heart of the people or the heartlessness whatever which way it goes and I don't think that the movies make up things themselves I think they always make up something or do something that they think will meet what the people want so I do think that part of this darkness comes from the fact that we are in another Dark Age in our faith right now and everyone knows we're going through something very new and very difficult and coming through to establish a new way of belief because there's so much that fights what we believe in I noticed one little trend I steer clear abut I see advertised a lot of horror movies and they're really much more violent than the horror movies of say the 30s or 40 so those are very tame and I keep thinking you know people used to complain about the priests preaching on hell fire and damnation and so the priest stopped now Hollywood presents Hellfire and damnation and we pay more to see that then we said you to go to church it's a crazy thing well did you know the thing that always got me was when they stopped praying in the schools and that it wasn't how many months was it until a guy went into the school with it with a machine gun and I do believe that if we open the door to a certain behavior it'll happen yeah stick another call Deb Jo Hojo hi hey doing well mother Delores um my favorite performance ever was in is Harlem where the boys are and I think she should have won an Oscar for it I did I was wondering if she goes through any regrets and thinking about oh gee should I have done that because I wouldn't want to ask her or is God her biggest Oscar well I tell you the only real one that hit me was after I did the play the pleasure of his company and purl seeds per Virg and Seaton came in after the show one night and said we're so happy to meet you and to give you the news that you will be given the title role in the movie that we're going to make of this show in two months well I was so happy well wouldn't you know another couple of days went by and Debbie Reynolds that my door came into the same makeup place and said you know Dolores I was so pleased with your performance tonight I studied every move you made because I'm doing it on in Hollywood oh I thought how how can this be yeah but I think that was my first introduction to the matters of life and then yeah well it's it's you know a comment like that um almost uh uh all sounds offensive like oh now that I got the part I want to do what you do and let me tell you how much I want to do what you do when I get the part you know it's all yeah that's right a little bit odds but but that's one of the downfalls which you have to live with in that business no I have another call at your home Mary yes hello father what were you feeling mother hello Mary I'm not calling I'm calling from Boston great in your question yes my question is I know that mother was engaged as a young woman and um I heard that after the engagement ended that they remained friends for the rest of them you know the rest of his life and I just wondered how you were able to bring it from a romantic love to a beautiful friendship over time well you see I think that there's a romantic love that exists between persons and it's not that you bring it to a beautiful friendship you bring it to a transcendent level where you really do believe and know that you meet Christ in the other person and it's more than a friendship it's it's a it's a way of communion and I believe that Don brought to me that reality it was not that we tried to it happened because we both went into a mode of living in which sacrifice was was the order of the day yeah no what was he a man of faith absolutely it was a very good Catholic in fact I just talked to his sister two days ago who will come and see me in in the monastery as soon as I get home so they had a very very strong Catholic background oh so this was something that um you know he had a background of faith a context of faith within which to understand your vocation yes and I really think that was again when you look back on your life if you can really I think can contemplate it you see the mode of gift that God gives you so that every part of your life there's a choreography to it which is more than just an incident or coincident it's really a plan of God in which you are meant to fulfill your call and I think I really could never have done that if I had been engaged to a man who didn't understand my calls and you know what one of the things I certainly can recall in discussions with my father my father was very against me being a priest or and a Jesuit but we said I really don't understand are these cloistered orders where all they do is pray now what would you say to someone who comes out like well why do you just spend like praying but don't you have something better to do with your life they should see we have 400 acres of land as a self-sustaining farm with I think it's how many 40 cattle and we have a another barn which is for milking I don't know how many milking cows are up but seems to me in the morning a number there's always a few that are there doing the milking sure and then they have to do all the gardening the planning of the gardening and the mother Scholastica does the preserving it never stops the number of people at work yes which is a key to Benedict in life yes know that it's prayer and work or at labora oh that is very much yes I also told my dad my dad was a mechanic and a truck driver and cab driver and stuff she understood cars they said that you know when you look inside the engine of a car the battery just sits there but try to start the car without that's not so easy the cloistered religious are like the batteries of the car they keep the juice going out to the moving parts you know that's an important important part certainly as I remember mother Benedict our founders she told me you know every day when I go into the office and I pray and I'm there I asked the Lord is this gift of Prayer the one that's going to stop somebody from pushing a button somewhere yes that will be catastrophe yes and I I was stunned but you know I came to understand that there is an absolute fact that what we do what how we pray for one another really makes a difference exactly as a matter of fact there's a tradition I've heard in the Benedictine background and Benedictine writings and in among rabbis that there are just a few people who are so focused on God they are the ones who keep the whole world from falling apart you know and and that's that's the important role that people who think they're doing everything think they're the ones holding it together and rabbis spiritual tradition and Christianity both hold the same position the holy people are the ones that keep it from falling apart mother Delores I am afraid we've run out of time well really I'm grateful for you being here I am too and thank you for doing that book thank your sisters for
