About this listen
The convent in which Dina spent her nine years as a religious nun burned to the ground in 1983. Therefore, there was no room where she had lived, no infirmary where she died, and nothing physical that you could touch in the new convent and school which was built after her death. But she was there, in every room we visited, every corner we turned, in the chapel where she is buried, and most importantly, in the eyes and spirit of every sister in the community. They all reflected the spirit of their sister in Christ, the precious little Saint of Québec.
There were mementoes of her life, pictures of her (she is a 20th-century blessed, a product of our own century), a needlepoint which she made, a musical score which she composed, and sisters whom she knew. She died 66 years ago, and we were able to talk with people whom she touched and, while they have become senior citizens, their memories of blessed Dina are crystal clear. Everyone had something special to share about her - a word, a smile, something which touched their lives. She remained with them, and they would never be the same.
