Sr. Sophie Marie has lived 19 years of Contemplate life as a Sister of Mary Morning Star. Though she was baptized Catholic, she was not raised in the faith. She was a hairstylist who enjoyed kickboxing prior to her conversion to Catholicism in her early 20’s. In her quest for the true faith, she almost became Mormon, but the witness of Mother Theresa and the Catechism of the Catholic Church rang truer in her heart than the propositions of The Latter Day Saints. After making her first confession at the age of 24 which definitely changed her life she became an on fire Catholic seeking the Will of God and drawing joy close to the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. Seeing that the best way for her to witness God's existence was to give up everything to live a hidden life of prayer, she sold her house and entered the Sisters. She loves studying at St .Thomas Aquinas, cooking (she is a master soup maker), and creating bouquets to bring beauty to the Sisters' chapel.
