Mother Miriam of the Lamb of God:
Born and raised in a Jewish home, Rosalind Moss, in her adult years embraced Jesus as the Messiah of the Jewish people. Her initial conversion took her from a 15-year business career as a successful executive with corporations in New York and California to full-time Evangelical ministry, earning a master's degree in Ministry from Talbot Theological Seminary. A series of events in the summer of 1990 set her on a compelling course to find out if the Catholic Church is in fact the Church Christ established 2,000 years ago. After 18 years of Evangelical Protestantism, she entered the Catholic Church at Easter 1995.
Since that time she has traveled the world speaking and teaching through conferences, parish missions, women's and family retreats, and all forms of media. From July, 1999 to May, 2008, Rosalind, now Sister Rosalind, was a fulltime staff apologist with Catholic Answers and remains to this day a guest of the semi-monthly radio program, From the Heart on Catholic Answers Live. She is the editor of Home at Last, 11 Who found their Way to the Catholic Church, co-host of EWTN's Household of Faith and Now That We're Catholic!, host of Reasons for Our Hope: A Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke, and author of the Bible Study book by the same title.
On the Feast of the Queenship of Mary, August 22, 2008, Rosalind’s dream of many years to found a new religious community took root. Daughters of Mary/Mother of Israel's Hope was born in St. Louis, MO, at the invitation of Archbishop (now Cardinal) Raymond Burke. Having been strangely affected as a young Jewish girl in New York by the shortening of nuns’ habits, Rosalind’s dream is to establish an order of Sisters that will restore the hemline to the floor and the habit to the world, reaching out as messengers of hope in the midst of a needy world. On Our Mother’s nativity, September 8, 2011, she made her profession of vows and took the name Mother Miriam of the Lamb.
