In this episode, Sr Jane Kimathi, shares her stories of the life of the African female religious. In this frank discussion, Sr Jane teaches us how to fall in love with God and how  African religious women are living their religious life faithfully and fruitfully. It is a life that they live on earthen vessels amidst two fires that burn in the religious: the fire of love for God and spirituality, and the fire of one's sexuality and the desire for intimacy with another. In this synodal moment, Sr Jane raises the question that she wants us all to consider: How can our families, clerics,  the laity and the Christian community support the female religious to faithfully live their vowed commitments to God?
