While I admire what she has done, I wonder if she had any success with the “lost souls” in the prison.

She truly walked in the footsteps of Christ. I believe she should be made a saint. At least a cause could be made for her beautifacation-— To serve the lowest is to serve heaven. She remembered that once Jesus was a prisoner too.

"While I admire what she has done, I won"

I'm remembering how Our Lord said, "I am the Vine; you are the branches. If you remain in Me, you will bear much fruit."

I've done some thinking about how "fruitfulness" differs from "efficiency". Fruitfulness has to do with the inner, organic nature of a thing: Jesus talks also about how only the good tree bears good fruit.

So it seems we have a guarantee that Sr. Antonia's life will have been fruitful, since she was acting within her relationship with Our Lord, who is the source of all that is is truly good and truly lasting.

Good, lasting results with these "lost souls"? I'd bet my right arm up to the shoulder on that. I'd bet my life.
