A Summer Call
Maybe you have heard about the recent humanitarian crisis
at our U.S. borders. Children fleeing
violence and hardship are making their way to the U.S. Who will set an example for our country to be
a welcoming and inclusive place? Women
religious from all over the country have answered the call to drop everything
and be willing to go to the borderland.
This is what it means to be a religious sister today. We point to peace, justice, love, joy, and
hope. We must unveil the way for the
gospel to be lived here and now. And in
our sharing, in our opening up to the lives and needs of others, we find mutual
bonds of love, strength, and solidarity.
We receive the “one hundred fold.”
Stay tuned for next month’s post on my border trip!
What are you being called to this summer?
