Wisdom from Mother Dolores Hart
I left the world I knew in order to reenter it on a more profound level. Many people don’t understand the difference between a vocation and your own idea about something. A vocation is a call—one you don’t necessarily want. The only thing I ever wanted to be was an actress. But I was called by God.
—Mother Dolores Hart
from her book, The Ear of the Heart: An Actress’ Journey from Hollywood to Holy Vows

A RADICAL CHANGE
Dolores Hart stunned Hollywood in 1963, when after ten highly successful feature films, she entered the Abbey of Regina Laudis at the peak of her career, not in order to leave the glamorous world of acting she had dreamed of since childhood, but in order to answer a mysterious call she heard with the “ear of the heart.” While contracted for another film and engaged to be married, she abandoned everything to become a bride of Christ. Now, fifty years later, Mother Dolores gives this fascinating account of her life.
