About the author:
Sister Lucille Hintze
?The best thing that has ever happened to me in my lifetime was being born to loving parents.That set the tone for my whole life.It doesn?t matter if you are hungry or do not have much money, you are never poor if you have love and friendship.?
 Sister Lucille Hintze attended San Jose State and Stanford. She has teaching credentials from kindergarten through university. She received a STD at San Francisco Theological in 1977. She was asked to give the
Invocation for the 106th Commencement Exercises. Her thesis was ?Women in Mark?s Gospel?. She picked the gospel of Mark because he wrote for the middle and poorer classes of people. And this is where Sister Lucille belonged. Even in her religious ministry, she usually ministered in poorer rural parishes or in the inner city.
Two days after getting her doctorate in theology and scripture, Sister Lucille departed on an adventure of her life time. Her parents thought it wise for her to see the land where Jesus lived and taught...to experience it rather than just have book knowledge. She had never been out of the United States before. But when she returned, she realized that she was more mature in so many ways. In fact, she had become ?a citizen of the World.? And life would never be quite the same again.

Sister Lucille Hintze's first book:
Lucille's Harvest | What has made teaching through the years interesting for her is the challenge of trying to transmit to others the fundamental joy of stretching one?s mind and capabilities in order to grow in love and understanding of the universe about us.
After teaching in the California public schools, Sister Lucille joined the Sisters of the Holy Family. As a Sister she worked mainly in religious education for public school children. At present she is engaged in a ministry of writing and phoning to elderly and infirm. She taught herself to use the computer and finds e-mail a delight to use. She sends out about 1,000 letters a year; not counting e-mail and phone calls.
Sister Lucille finds her last ministry fun as she is a shy introvert but a real chatter box on the phone and letter writing. But her most useful asset for others is in being a compassionate listener for those who are having a rough time facing death and dying.

Oh, for a lark, Sister Lucille sent a poem to poetry international and they printed it. She gave them more poems and they published those. Then as people kept asking her for copies of herpoems and stories, she thought ?better publish!?
Such has been her life.
