	== The short story ==		== The short story ==
	Mother Olga ~~Yaqob~~ was ~~known at Boston University "Blue Lightning." She seems to have traded~~ in ~~her sneakers for dress shoes~~, ~~but she has not lost her zeal for preaching~~ the ~~gospel. She~~ is ~~the foundress~~ and ~~mother servant of~~ the ~~Daughters of Mary of Nazareth~~.		Mother Olga was born in Kirkuk, Iraq, in 1966, and was baptized in the Holy Apostolic Catholic Assyrian Church of the East, an ancient church which is independent both from Rome and from the Orthodox Churches.

	~~Many~~ of ~~our listeners met Mother Olga at last year's women's conference or heard her when she visited "Calling All Catholics" just before that event~~.		In her early teens, Mother found herself attracted to adoration of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and felt a strong calling to consecrate herself fully to Him.

	Mother ~~is as tall as St~~. ~~Francis~~ of ~~Assisi~~ and ~~has his same love for~~ the ~~Body of Christ~~.		After the Iran-Iraq war, Mother served the poor in Baghdad. She wore a blue habit and white veil in honor of her protector, the Virgin Mary, and began to visit the Abu Ghraib prison to pray with the inmates. She continued to minister to prisoners there after the first Gulf War.

	~~Those who know Mother Olga refer to Blessed Mother Teresa as "~~the ~~Mother Olga of Calcutta~~."		In 1993, she started a lay movement for both Christians and Muslims in order serve the poor and needy.

	Mother ~~Olga was born in Kirkuk, Iraq,~~ in ~~1966 as a member of~~ the ~~Holy Apostolic Catholic~~ Assyrian Church of the East~~, which dates back to the Nestorian controversies from the fifth century AD, and is independent both from Rome and from the Orthodox Churches. She was the fourth of seven children and lived~~ in ~~Kirkuk from her birth to the end of high school~~.		Her local Assyrian bishop then asked her to found a religious community called the 'Missionaries of the Virgin Mary.' Mother thus became the first nun in the Assyrian Church of the East in over 700 years.

	~~In her early teens~~, she ~~was attracted~~ to ~~adoration of Jesus~~ in the ~~Blessed Sacrament~~ and ~~felt~~ a ~~strong calling to consecrate herself~~ in ~~the same way that the Holy of Holies, the Tabernacle, and priests and religious are set aside for the Lord~~.		With the encouragement of two Jesuit friends, she came to study in the United States in 2001, and eventually received a Master's degree in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College.

	~~The devotion of her~~ Catholic ~~neighbors inspired~~ her ~~to hunger for daily communion~~. ~~They also taught~~ her ~~how~~ to ~~pray~~ the ~~Rosary~~.		Mother became a Catholic in 2005. Cardinal SÃ©an Patrick Oâ€™Malley received her perpetual vows three months later on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.

			During her first nine years in the United States, Mother Olga served in campus ministry at Boston University, where she eventually became the Catholic Chaplain and was affectionately known to the students as "Blue Lightning."

	~~When her family moved to Jordan in 1988 after the Iran-Iraq war~~, Mother ~~remained to serve the poor in Baghdad~~. ~~After arriving in the Iraqi capital~~, she ~~traded her regular clothes for a blue habit and white veil in honor of her protector~~, ~~the Virgin Mary~~, and ~~began~~ to ~~visit Abu Ghraib prison to pray with the inmates~~." ~~She continued to minister to prisoners in the Abu Ghraib prison after the first Gulf War.~~		In 2007, Mother Olga became a U.S. citizen because, as she said then, "God has given me many American children, and it was time for their mother to be an American, too."

	In ~~1993~~, ~~as a young lay woman~~, ~~she started a lay movement called Love Your Neighbor. She invited young men and women from Christine and Muslim communities to be part~~ of ~~this~~ community ~~to serve~~ the ~~needs~~ of ~~the poor~~ in ~~Iraq~~.		In 2011, Cardinal O'Malley gave Mother permission to found the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth. Inspired by Blessed Charles de Foucauld, the spirituality of the community emphasizes imitation of the hidden life of Jesus in Nazareth.

	~~Her local bishop asked her~~ to ~~found a religious community~~ for ~~women called the 'Missionaries of the Virgin Mary.' As the founder of the order~~, ~~Yaqob became the first nun~~ in the ~~Assyrian Church of the East in over 700 years~~.		The community is both contemplative and apostolic. The day begins and ends with Eucharistic adoration. The Daughters desire to be living sanctuaries for Jesus, so that when people see them, they will see Jesus in them. Their apostolic work is dedicated to the new evangelization.

	~~She met two Jesuit priests while studying in~~ the ~~Chaldean Catholic seminary~~. ~~She came~~ to ~~the United States~~ in ~~2001~~ for ~~her studies where she received her master's degree in Pastoral Ministry from Boston College~~.		The motto of the Daughters is "Passion for God â€“ Compassion for Humanity." The Daughters encourage each other to maintain a joyful spirit, no matter what burdens God gives them, in imitation of Jesus, who "for the sake of the joy that was set before Him, endured the Cross, heedless of its shame" (Heb 12:2).

	Mother ~~was received into the Catholic Church on September 8th, 2005, in the Archdiocese of Boston~~. ~~Cardinal SÃ©an Patrick Oâ€™Malley, OFM. Cap., received her perpetual vows on December 8th, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, in 2005.~~		Welcome, Mother. It is a great joy to have you with us today!

	For nine years, she was involved in the campus ministry of the Campus Center at Boston University, where she eventually became the second woman to be named by the Archbishop as the Catholic Chaplain for the University.

	~~At BU, ... she founded a counseling program for women students called Nazareth House. The program provides support for women facing issues ranging from homesickness to a family death.~~

	It ~~took two and a half years to satisfy the requirements of canon law. She first entered the Chaldean Catholic Church, which~~ is ~~in full communion with Rome, and then obtained permission to enter the Roman rite.~~

	~~Mother Olga "became~~ a ~~U.S. citizen in 2007 because 'God has given me many American children at BU, and it was time for their mother to be an American, too.'"~~

	~~In 2008, Cardinal Sean Oâ€™Malley first approached Mother about founding a new religious order. In 2011, Cardinal O'Malley gave her permission~~ to ~~found the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth in order to work for the new evangelization of the western world. The spirituality of the community emphasizes daily intimacy~~ with ~~Jesus in imitation of His hidden life in Nazareth--the sisters aim "to live the life of Nazareth."~~
	The community is both contemplative and apostolic. The day begins and ends with Eucharistic adoration; the sisters want to be "living sanctuaries" for Jesus, so that when people see them, they will see Jesus in them. Except when they are on the road preaching the gospel, the Daughters ordinarily spend Saturdays alone, in contemplative prayer. Although they are based in Boston, the Daughters accept applicants from around the world.

	The motto of the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth is "Passion for God â€“ Compassion for Humanity." The Daughters encourage each other to maintain a joyful spirit, no matter what crosses God gives them, in imitation of Jesus, who "for the sake of the joy that was set before Him, endured the Cross, heedless of its shame" (Heb 12:2).
