  • Read more about The human face of climate change

Pope Francis’ encyclical, Laudato Sí, accents both the challenges and responsibilities we have to safeguard God’s creation. While there are many passages worthy of reflection and discussion I will concentrate on the connection he makes between climate change and poverty. A quotation in the encyclical from the Bolivian Bishops Conference resonated deeply within me: “Both everyday experience and scientific research show that the gravest effects of all attacks on the environment are suffered by the poorest.”

  • Read more about LCWR reviews its own steadiness, finds ability to build relationships where trust could grow

In the penultimate address at this year’s Leadership Conference of Women Religious national assembly, former LCWR executive director St. Joseph Sr. Janet Mock made some of her most pointed public remarks on the Vatican’s now-concluded LCWR doctrinal assessment and mandate. The Houston assembly marked the first time the general membership had met since the Vatican’s controversial oversight of the group ended in April, and LCWR leaders had only been speaking to select media outlets in the interim, wanting to save further discussion until everyone had a chance to reflect together.

  • Read more about In latest justice resolution, U.S. sisters recommit to ending family detention

The Leadership Conference of Women Religious membership on Friday morning voted to adopt a resolution that commits member congregations to addressing systemic causes of injustice. While the resolution itself is broad, the focus of the resolution presentation, unquestionably, was immigration and the detention of women and children seeking asylum.

  • Read more about Sr. Janet Mock: 'Everything I learned about leadership, I learned from you'

Sr. Janet Mock said it is not she, but those around her who deserve accolades. “I have no illusions — everything I learned about leadership, I learned from you and your predecessors,” she told the Leadership Conference of Women Religious’ annual assembly after accepting the group’s Outstanding Leadership Award at their banquet Friday evening. LCWR officials said Mock not only provided extraordinary leadership as their executive director, but did it “through one of the conference’s most profound and transformative challenges — the doctrinal assessment of LCWR by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and its subsequent mandate.”

  • Read more about Sr. Mary Pellegrino becomes LCWR's new president-elect

Sr. Mary Pellegrino, a Sister of St. Joseph, was installed Friday as the president-elect of the nation’s largest leadership group for women religious, LCWR, which is closing its annual assembly this evening (Aug. 14). In Pellegrino's candidate materials, she said the critical issues for LCWR in the next three years are to remain both learners and leaders while discerning the most appropriate use of the group’s moral authority. She also said LCWR needs to continue to integrate the contemplative process into all the organization’s work.

  • Read more about Beyond middle space

Wednesday’s psalm antiphon (Psalm 66) proclaims what my heart feels after attending the Giving Voice National Conference in Kansas City last weekend. The theme “Crossing Boundaries in Religious Life,” took shape through the more than seventy sisters under the age of 50 who gathered. Srs. Tere Maya and Sophia Park gave us much to ponder in their keynote addresses. Speaking about the generational and cultural dynamics at work in the church and in religious life today, they named realities that both affirm and challenge me as a young sister. The honest conversations were powerful kindling for the flame inside of me. Let me pass on some of that honesty.

  • Read more about Slow-motion emotions: Being in the now

Notes from the Field - I’ve known since taking my seat on the 32-hour journey to Nong Khai, and even before, that there would be another eerily similar flight lurking in the future. The difference would be that the next flight would be heading back to the United States, and at the time it seemed light years away.
