Behind the peaceful vigil
...We heard Christian prayers, Jewish prayers, and statements that were not religious. Not only did people express themselves, but they made contributions to our instrumental goal for the event by sharing ways to take action in the long term, sharing groups to connect with and events to attend.

The ‘month of our Mother’
...might mean today to me personally, and to us as a Congregation. Here are some thoughts which occurred to me: Today … we ask the intercession of Mary, Mirror of Justice, as our Congregation strives to act justly in all our decisions regarding our staff members and business partners. This day … I can ask the prayers of Mary, Mother of Good Counsel, for patience with others when I am tempted to rash judgment or rudeness of speech. This day...
Sister Pauline Brockelsby
...years of ministry here, Pauline proved to be very adaptable, serving as driver, printer, mail deliverer, and phone room receptionist. Sister Mary Ann Phelan noted that as she made her rounds, during the lead-up to Mother Theodore’s canonization, her own devotion was such that she would stop by the office to request prayer cards with a relic so she could give one to any sister who had requested prayers for a family member or friend in the Day-by-Day and would...
Sister Jean Anne Maher (formerly Sister Roberta Marie)
...Center, hours of prayer in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, as well as driving for several years. Sister Jean Ann Maher As Jean Anne began her cancer treatment, she asked for our prayers. During the time of the treatments, she was so optimistic, but it was easy to see her concern.

Quaran-Teen: prayer and sharing bring hope
...a mix match of voices soft and just a little out of sync murmured the Hail Mary and the Our Father and the Glory Be. But it has beauty in its own way, the echoing and buzz and the noise of other people’s households in the background as we pray. It feels powerful, the fact that over distance and disease and executive orders, we are here saying these prayers together virtually. That we care enough to be doing it, that...
