Watch out for sailors!
She was chaste, pure in all things. She was always careful to associate with others. She always conducted herself like a virgin dedicated to God. When I came to America with her, I hadn't yet received the religious habit. On the rampart she said to me, "Miss Barbara, watch out for sailors. If they see a young woman without the religious dress and see that you show them attention, they will reciprocate you with much attention”.
Sr. Maria Cirilla Chmelar
