I - A. READING AND COMPREHENSION

SISTER WENDY
Sister Wendy Beckett has been a nun for nearly 50 years, since she was 16. Most of the time she
lives in solitary confinement in a caravan in the grounds of a monastery, often not speaking to anyone for
22 hours a day.
Sister Wendy has a remarkable other life. She writes and presents an arts programme for BBC
television called ‘Sister Wendy’s Grand Tour’. In it, she visits European art capitals and gives her
personal opinions on some of the world’s most famous works of art. She begins each programme with
these words: ‘For over 20 years I lived in solitude. Now I’m seeing Europe for the first time. I’m visiting
the world’s most famous art treasures’.
Sister Wendy believes that although God wants her to have a life of prayer and solitary
contemplation, He has also given her a mission to explain art in a simple manner to ordinary people. She
says: ‘I think God has been very good to me. Really I am a disaster as a person. Solitude is right for me
because I’m not good at being with other people. But of course I enjoy going on tour. I have a
comfortable bed, a luxurious bath and good meals, but the joy is mild compared with the joy of solitude
and silent prayer. I always rush back to my caravan’.
Sister Wendy’s love of God and art is matched only by her love of good food and wine. She takes
delight in poring over menus, choosing a good wine and wondering whether the steak is tender enough for
her to eat because she has no back teeth. However, she is not delighted by her performance on television.
‘I don’t like watching myself on television. I feel that I look so silly- a ridiculous black-clothed figure.
