Vocation in Black and White: Dominican Contemplative Nuns Tell How God Called Them"Within the Dominican Order, whose motto is Truth and whose mission is the proclamation of that Truth, some proclaim primarily through their contemplative 'tryst' with that Truth. Here some of these women of the Dominican monasteries tell of how they came to embrace this way of life which to many is such a mystery. Each is a story as unique and human as its author."

"The life of the cloistered contemplative nun is one of the most hidden but also one of the most important treasures of the Church. The prayers and sacrifices of these holy women are so crucial to the Church's well-being that it behooves all of us to know them better. The stories in this splendid book help us to do just that, since they are authentic vignettes from the personal lives of 23 different Dominican cloistered nuns."
-Father Michael Monshau, O.P., Prior, Dominican House of Studies, Saint Louis, Missouri

"These remarkable personal testimonies demonstrate the power of God's fruitful invitation to a contemplative and cloistered life in the Dominican tradition. Though each testimony is unique, there is a common link among them that recalls Elizabeth's words to Mary: 'Blessed is she who believed that there would be fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord (Luke 1:45).' These testimonies, then, are not a history of the past rather they give confidence to all in the present who have the courage to accept God's invitation to Himself. Indeed, God has done great things. This book reminds all of us that God is still doing great things."
-Father Dominic Izzo, O.P., Provincial of the Province of St. Joseph

Comfortable to Wear and Easy to Use Every Day
The texture was the first thing I felt. First application feels rather rich but unexpectedly distributes easily throughout the skin. I was worried it would feel heavy, but it blended in more readily than I thought and didn’t leave my skin feeling too oily afterwards. I love that you can use it on the body and face too. One product for the entire family is easier and saves room when packing for trips or holidays. I have used it on myself and my kids when we go out and it has been comfy for all of us to wear. Another thing I appreciate is my skin feels hydrated after using it. Love things that make my mornings easier on hectic mornings. The mixture is smooth and pleasant to wear all day long and does not feel sticky. The container is functional and simple to throw in a beach bag or handbag. I have brought it to soccer games, trips to the playground, family picnics and it has been no problem.

Less cast and the zinc scent is mild.
I use sunscreen regularly. One of the aspects I do not like is the white cast I get from zinc-based SPFs. This one is zinc-based but it has tallow and PDRN. I want to see if they make any difference when it comes application and feel. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE PRODUCT 1. I received Mystic Orchard’s beef tallow sunscreen with PDRN. Comparing its value, I think the volume is pretty good. I received 2.8 ounces. 2. When it comes to scent, I smell the metallic scent but it is not as bad as the one I have been using for swimming. It is there, but pretty faint. 3. You can tell by the sheen that it is zinc-based. It has the same consistency. 4. What I noticed though is that the white cast is not too bad. It blends fast with the tallow. 5. I like tallows because they contain fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin E for some antioxidants. 6. The cica is nice too for those who need a calming ingredient with their sunscreen. 7. I think this would be good for when going out. I do not think I will be using it for swimming since it is mild in scent and cast. Better to use it elsewhere than just for swimming. OVERALL IMPRESSION: I think that this SPF sunscreen with tallow and PDRN is cost-effective and worth its value if you want a zinc-based sunscreen with less cast and milder scent.

Moisturizing Sunscreen
Size: 2.82 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
The grass-fed tallow base makes it deeply moisturizing—it feels like a nourishing balm. The PDRN complex is a nice bonus for repair.
