"Just as untying is harder than tying, it is difficult to take what we know and are so sure of and to un-know it. One day the cloud does it for us."

  • Read more about Sisters making mainstream headlines

GSR Today - Much has been written about anti-nuclear activist Sr. Megan Rice since she was incarcerated last year. A new lengthy and in-depth article appeared this week in The New Yorker that explores why Rice and two other people – Christian pacifist Gregory Boertje-Obed and Catholic layman Michael Walli – broke into the Y-12 National Security Complex in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, in July 2012.

  • Read more about Balance

It is true that in apostolic religious life we seek to live a balance between ministry and contemplative prayer – one feeds the other. We bring our ministry to prayer and prayer supports us in our ministry. This is the ideal. If we are not careful, though, our ministry can overtake the contemplative space in our lives. Our world is in such great need. There are more injustices, marginalized and oppressed peoples, and persons in abject poverty than I can list in this article. And it is true that it is our moral obligation to address these needs in the ways we are able. But in so doing we cannot afford to lose our center, our foundation, our very souls.

This story appears in the Selma feature series. View the full series.

  • Read more about 'Selma' film prompts painful memories for Sister of St. Joseph who marched

Sr. Barbara Moore wanted to see the film "Selma," but by herself "because emotionally I knew it would probably be impactful." So the Sister of St. Joseph of Carondelet sat alone in a St. Louis theater in January and watched the movie about the events of 50 years ago this March – the voting rights marches and protests led by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Alabama.

  • Read more about Passion takes 'I'

See for Yourself - There I go again. My years-ago-learned touch-typing skills just failed me once more. After completing a document and proofing it, there it was: a glaring typo. My intended word was "passion," but what was actually in print was "passon." Pass on. I had skipped over the "i."

  • Read more about Q & A with Sr. Deborah Borneman

Sr. Deborah Borneman thinks about vocations and religious life a lot – not just because she’s a Sister of Saints Cyril and Methodius, but because it’s her job. But of course, it’s more than just a job. Borneman is passionate about religious life, which comes through quickly when speaking with her. Many will find out for themselves when Borneman will speak at the "discern. Conference" at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

  • Read more about Sisters of Mercy help contemporary society accept death as a part of life

Love returned two hundredfold - Contemporary conversations about how we approach dying are in part a reaction to 20th-century traditions like embalming, funeral homes and spending one’s last days in hospitals. In this midst of this lively and often graphic debate, some members of the Sisters of Mercy, one of the larger religious congregations in the Americas, are offering an alternate perspective, one that balances the certainty of human mortality with their strong faith.

  • Read more about Winter is a cloud of unknowing

Out of the last half of the 14th century comes an unknown writer giving us a spiritual treatise called, The Cloud of Unknowing. This it seems is the basic state of our relation with God – a state of unknowing, symbolized by a dense cloud between us. Sometimes, mercifully, the cloud is pierced by God’s “dart of longing love.” Most of the time we live with the cloud of unknowing above and the cloud of forgetting below.
