PEOPLE, Page 77Getting the Football SpiritBy Emily Mitchell/Reported by Wendy Cole
"I don't have a system," explains SISTER MARIE LOUISE, 89, a
Washington nun who has won national attention by her uncannily
accurate picks of the winners of National Football League games.
"I read the newspapers. If I get a hunch, I stick with it. Of
course, I do pray and ask the Holy Spirit for help." That seems to
work divinely. On a local TV program that asks guests for N.F.L.
predictions, the Visitation nun, who once played basketball and
baseball, has so far bested the secular guessers. Along with the
mother superior, a fellow football fan, the sister follows the
sport on the convent TV. Has she made a pick for the Super Bowl?
Only heaven knows.
