Elders of the Benedictines:
A Portrait and Interview Project
Sister M. Louise Frankenberger, O.S.B., b. 1916
Sister Louise is a member of the Olivetan Benedictine community at Holy Angels
Convent in Jonesboro, Arkansas.
Q: How does the Benedictine tradition serve as foundation for the way you live your physical life?
A: As a child we fished for food and raised a big garden and we ate good sensible food. It is the same here, a real sensible physical life. We live a life that has a rhythm combining the physical and the spiritual.
