As part of the 50 years of Sisters of Mercy presence in Peru, those who ministered among the people and were part of the history of the sisters in Peru were invited to celebrate at the beginning mission in Acora in the Alti Plano. I was invited to attend this celebration and see where the Mercy Sisters and other women religious communities and Maryknoll Sisters and Brothers worked since the call of Pope Saint John XXIII 50 years ago.

  • Read more about Vows that wake up the world

Nothing quite wakes up the world like a snowstorm! The power of snowflakes is in their togetherness. And so it is in the Christian life. We are stronger together. In religious life, this is particularly central. We are sisters because of our shared life. The title we are blessed to assume implies that our primary identity is one of relationship.

Jesus called, 'Cast your nets on the other side!' As disciples perhaps we too are called to recognize 'the other side' may actually bring us life.

  • Read more about It doesn’t have to be a gray area

See for Yourself - News reports this week announced that the film, “Fifty Shades of Grey,” rocketed to Number 1 as the box office draw for Valentine’s Day weekend 2015. Is anyone surprised at that? I’m not. After all, when the Catholic church specifically singles out this movie as something not to go see, isn’t that all the more reason to go see it?

  • Read more about Flaring Islamophobia

GSR Today - I learned about last week’s triple homicide in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Twitter. Checking Twitter on my phone is one of the first things I do in the morning, and I didn’t have to scroll long to see post after post both about Deah Bakarat; his wife, Yusor Abu-Salha and her sister, Razan Abu-Salha. There was also a lot of talk about the lack of media attention given to their deaths.
