We HEAR the cries of the unjustly treated, the displaced, the enslaved, the war-damaged, the impoverished, the marginalized, the lonely, and the despairing.
We SEE the suffering of those who lack adequate housing, education, and health care, as well as those who experience that religion has failed them.
We FEEL the pain of our ‘mother earth’ as she reacts to the abuses humanity has put upon her through indifference and exploitation.
We TASTE the acrimony from government and business aggressors as they control and manipulate human and natural resources for their own private gain and power.
We KNOW the inequality and discrimination we experience as women.
In TOUCHING these suffering sisters and brothers we realize anew our Salvatorian vocation is, essentially and above all, to PROCLAIM by our style of life, our speech, and our apostolic service the message of Jesus’ Reign of
Love, Mercy, and Justice. |
