One lonely Christmas morning, Kristin Ohlson wandered into a downtown Cleveland church for mass. Once there, she was moved by the traditions of her childhood, but more than that, her curiosity was captured by a group of cloistered nuns. They were the Poor Clares?a tiny, threadbare congregation of elderly nuns with one mission: to pray day and night for the sorrows of the world.
