Episode 1: 'The pillars of my spiritual life' (28 min.)
What are the pillars of your spiritual life, Tom Fox asks Sr. Pascaline Coff. She answers: A devotion to the Sacred Heart, adoration and daily Mass. "My primary monastic vow, a constant turning to the Lord, and welcoming the Divine in the other has meant a lot to me," she adds. She also describes meeting Fr. Bede Griffiths and founding Osage Monastery in Oklahoma.

Episode 2: The riches of interreligious dialogue (26 min.)
Sr. Coff talks with Tom Fox about the treasures she has gained from studying and dialoging with other religions: From the Hindus, she said she learned about radical hospitality, welcoming the divine in the other. From the Buddhists, compassion. From Muslims, fidelity to prayer and surrender to divine. From Daoists, be content with what you have. "If we would follow even half of the wisdom that comes from other traditions, from our own tradition," what a world this would be Coff says.

Episode 3: 'Everyone is welcome' (12 min.)
Sr. Coff discussions the practicalities of visiting the ashram at Osage Monastery.
