Prethodna pjesma posvećena sv. Dominiku kome danas slavimo blagdan, najveći je hit belgijske redovnice dominikanke koju su zvali Sœur Sourire (Sestra Smiješak). Kroz nekoliko tjedana 1963. godine bila je na vrhu top ljestvica u raznim državama svijeta, a u SAD-u je došla i na prvo mjesto.

Sestra Luc Gabriel (Jeanine Deckers) napustila je 1967., kao i brojni drugi u to vrijeme, svoje redovničko zvanje, a u glazbi više nije imala uspjeha. U javnosti je zastupala kriva učenja o vjeri i moralu što ilustrira i naziv jedne od pjesama iz tog razdoblja kojom hvali kontracepciju: Slava Bogu za zlatnu pilulu. Godine 1982. ponovno je bezuspješno pokušala podići svoju glazbenu karijeru disko obradom pjesme Dominique. Pogledajte i taj video koji kroz bivšu redovnicu koja se šeće ruševinama crkve na neki način sažima tragediju tih godina.

Godine 1985., u pedesetprvoj godini život, opterećena financijskim problemima, bivša sestra Smiješak sa svojom dugogodišnjom lezbijskom partnericom počinila je samoubojstvo predoziravši se drogom i alkoholom. Smilovao joj se Gospodin!

Kako ne bismo završili ovakvom žalosnom pričom, predlažem vam da pogledate vrlo lijepe vijesti koje donosi blog Splendor Domini. Jedna je o tradicionalnoj redovničkoj zajednici koja će izdati CD sa gregorijanskim pjevanjem za svjetski poznatu diskografsku kuću, a druga se tiče istočne provincije u SAD-u gdje oci dominikanci imaju porast zvanja, a usto se i ponovno povezuju sa slavnom i drevnom tradicijom svoga reda. Možda je na mjestu ovdje podsjetiti i na gostovanje vrlo uspješne zajednice dominikanki u emisiji Oprah Show.
