  • Read more about Global citizenship and education key to achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals, sisters say

Education is the undergirding foundation for all of the U.N.s Sustainable Development Goals, and to achieve that kind of "civic learning" involves advancing a social justice approach. Catholic sisters have a role to play in this.

  • Read more about Communities on the U.S. border 'grow from within'

In 1987, Mercy Sr. Gerrie Naughton went door-to-door in her new town in Las Milpas, Texas, meeting families to get a sense of the community's needs. Few people in the town of 12,000 spoke English, and a majority of the families lived off a yearly income of $7,000. They had no fire department, public lighting, paved streets, drainage system, clinic, or public transportation. She would not do for the community what the community could do for itself, so in 1989, Naughton founded ARISE with five immigrant women all eager to change their lives for the better. The grassroots network now serves hundreds of members in four areas around Pharr: Las Milpas, Muniz, Hargill, and South Tower.

  • Read more about Oops, it's Easter -- and other surprises from Ethiopia

GSR Today - I knew that I was coming to Ethiopia during the Ethiopian Orthodox Christian Holy Week, but I figured, since I was working for a Catholic website and planning to interview Catholic sisters, it wouldn't be a problem to come then — which only goes to illustrate how little I understood about Ethiopia.

  • Read more about The blessing of regrets

When we enter this time of our lives in which we might feel regrets, we somehow forget the beauty, the joy, the happiness that have been ours. In the growing awareness that we aren't all we've hoped to be, we sometimes can forget the beauty of who we actually have become. Only God's mercy can teach us to weave together the dark and light threads of our days. Only both of these can create the beautiful tapestry of our life as God has meant it to be.

  • Read more about To be 'woke' is to be aware of what is inside and out

Several months ago, or maybe a year, I started noticing people using the word "woke" in a way that I was not familiar. Statements similar to, "Stay woke," "I'm woke," "She's woke and not going back" started showing up on social media. And while I gathered a meaning from the context clues, I do not believe I understood the full meaning until more recently.
