Meet a modern-day Joan of Arc. Whether in scrubs, camouflage, or a religious habit, Sr. Dede Byrne, in her threefold calling as a professed religious sister, renowned surgeon, and U.S. Army colonel, inspire us to both virtue and action.
If the apostles had remained hidden in the Upper Room, we would never have a Church today. Similarly, Sister's inspirational life serves as a call to emerge from the safety of the Upper Room and enter the public square to courageously infuse culture with an unapologetic defense of Christ's beauty, truth, and goodness. Whether saving lives on battlefields or outside the doors of abortion clinics, this exciting narrative offers a rare glimpse into the life of a contemporary heroine who dedicates herself to care of the poor, love of God and country, and an unwavering defense of the unborn. These exhilarating pages detail:- Sister's journey in discerning and living her vocational calling and her personal vow of providing free and loving medical care to the poor
- Her heroic national keynote address that took the nation by storm and embodied the essence of courageously living one's faith in the public square
- The moral prescriptions required for remaining in the state of grace and attaining eternal life
- The impactful way Sister proposes Christ to everyone she meets with fearless abandon and determined love
Sr. Dede ministered at Ground Zero on September 11, served as St. Mother Teresa's personal physician, was deployed as a surgeon to Afghanistan for Operation Enduring Freedom, facilitated the rescue of citizens hiding from the Taliban, and travels regularly to the war-torn Nuba Mountains in Sudan to provide life-saving medical care to inhabitants under siege.
