"Every journey changes us. Even after we've returned to the familiar external landscapes of our lives, our interior landscapes have been reshaped and do not go neatly back to the way they were."

- Kristin Matthes, from Sr. Dorothy Stang and the people's embodied hope: Romaria da Floresta, published on Global Sisters Report

Today is the anniversary of Dorothy Stang's death.
