After watching "Roses in December" I feel that I have a better understand of who S. Ita Ford, S. Maura Clarke, S. Dorothy Kazel and Jean Donovan were and what they did in their lives as missionaries. I understand now that these four woman dedicated their lives to the missionaries and helping people. They risked their lives in El Salvador just to help people they didn't even know. Their courage and dedication is what really stood out to me, especially Jean Donovan. After her return home fro El Salvador she her friends, family and fiancé were all trying to convince her not to return to El Salvador. Jean knew that if she did return, the chances of her dying would be very high, almost impossible for her NOT to die. But there was no convincing her, she returned and was ultimately killed. I agree that every catholic should know these four women or even just be familiar with their story and what they stood for. I think the writer thought this was important because these women have changed the way many look at their lives and the lives of missionaries and those who do dedicate their lives to helping others. I know that I my outlook on service and those in service has changed. These women have motivated me to help, join service teams, and participate in helping improve the lives of others.
