Sister Diana Momeka in the U.S.

Deacon Greg Kandra has an article on the website of the CNEWA (Catholic Near East Welfare Association) about a visit with Iraqi Sr. Diana Momeka, O.P.

The first thing that struck me about the veiled woman in white standing in our reception area was: “She’s so little.” The petite Dominican sister with the piercing eyes and dark hair didn’t look like someone who would shake the world.

But I soon learned that her passion and her message are, in fact, earth shaking. Small wonder that this small wonder has made some of the most powerful people in world capitals sit up and take notice.
