“Creating Currents of Change” in Memphis
...positive — the love engaged against hate, the seeds that are sown to grow justice. Lawson called us to reject the climate of current public discourse that labels and divides. He said, “We are not primarily white or black, conservative or liberal. We are primarily human.” He lamented the continued influence of racism, sexism, violence and plantation capitalism in public discussion today. Lawson urged us to find a different language outside the fear built up by politics and media —...

On policing and Providence
Sister Pat Mahoney outside the District 22 police station in Chicago where she volunteers. From the way Sister Pat Mahoney greets the receptionist and walks right through the gate labeled “POLICE USE ONLY,” it is apparent that she feels right at home. Still, Sister Pat laughs, she never guessed she would volunteer at a police station. “But I never thought I’d leave teaching or stop wearing the habit when I entered religious life, either.” Sister Pat, a volunteer with the...
Imperfect mercy
...her. Then, when her persistent pleas didn’t stop, he claimed that she was not one of his sheep. In the back and forth with the Canaanite woman, Jesus repeatedly makes excuses for not helping her and even seems to label her as unworthy. The woman’s famous response, “but even the dogs get to eat the scraps that fall from the table,” is not a testament to Jesus’ mercy, but to her own faith and persistence. So where was Jesus’ perfect...
Celebrating Sister Joni as she professes first vows on June 26
...of vows. For me, each scripture selection – and all three together – create a vibrant mural of the lives of all followers of Jesus.

Joni’s life journey has been all about leaving, learning and liberating. Like...

What if instead we see from that new lens: the lens of the Gospel values demanded right now. Not the least of which are Love—Justice—Mercy.” —Sister Ann Sullivan “We will wash one another’s feet. We will probably need to perform this cleansing of one another more than once. Yet we have promised one another we will.” —Sister Denise Wilkinson...
Where Your Treasure Is
...Nervous about being out on the street with us, Sonia, a mother of three U.S. citizen children who fled gang violence in El Salvador after months of being threatened on her daily walk to school, decided to make us breakfast instead as her way of contributing. So we munched on pupusas, a Salvadoran delicacy, as we talked strategy, rehearsed songs, and reviewed the plan for the gathering. Earlier this month, Sonia was detained during her annual check-in with Immigration and...
Conscience, Candidates and Discipleship in Voting – Part two
...culture of exclusion in our nation reinforces and propels cleavages that are highly destructive to all of the goals that lie at the center of Catholic social teaching. For this reason, many faith-filled Catholics believe that in this election cycle the most compelling issue that arises from Catholic social teaching for American voters is the need to repudiate radically this culture of exclusion before it spreads further and leads to new levels of moral paralysis and division. Seen against this...
Witness
...of August. We were introduced by Keith Dwayne Nelson, a man whose life was taken on Aug. 28, inside that very same chamber. The Bureau of Prisons conducts these executions in a highly orchestrated manner. Nothing is left to change. The staff is kind, solicitous even. Many are in PPE. A few have only a good-fitting mask on for protection. My overriding impression of the scene is that of a stark environment, devoid of human emotion, calm, and eerily quiet...
