Testimony of Joan Spieth
Testimony of Joan Spieth
a Magnificat Ministry Podcast
Joan Spieth’s journey has taught her many life lessons. Her mom lived her life by the letter of the law and her dad by the spirit of the law. She was raised on a small farm in Ohio, the youngest of 10 children. She attended Catholic schools as she grew up. At a young age she was inspired by attending, with my mom and aunts, the profession of my first cousin as a sister of Notre Dame. That day she decided that was her goal, too.
After graduation from high school, she prepared all summer for investiture, a week of silent retreat. She received her religious habit, with a white veil signifying she was novice. Joan chose the name of Sister Mary Josina, with Joseph the worker as her patron. She desired most ardently to become a sister of Notre Dame, her journey, however, was to change as she developed a health issue that defied knowing the source or the cure. It was mutually agreed she would return home. Her strong intention was to return as soon as possible, but the Lord led her to another path. Time passed with slow movements as she engaged in the life of the world. She moved to Florida took on a full-time job and there met Larry, the man she soon married. They had 4 children. The family moved a lot as Larry was a salesman. Though Joan had a fulfilling life as a wife and mother and raising a beautiful family, she grappled for 30 years with the guilt of leaving the convent. Listen as Joan shares her story, how the Lord’s merciful love overcame the guilt and transformed her.
This testimony was given to the Stark County Ohio Chapter in November 2024.
The recording is 26 min. 14 sec. in length.
