Around the country, some of us were able to connect with @NETWORKLobby 's Nuns on the Bus. In San Jose, they even signed the bus for all of us!

@capitalweather @martyweilwapost Beautifully written article. TY for the explanation of the orange sky, too.

Synodality requires a change from "pyramid-like" leadership structure to one that is "circular" to allow for the participation of all of the people of God. Leaders of congregations of women religious want this in their own leadership and in the church. https://t.co/zGQkFCff2m

From the international gathering of 520 sisters last week: "Our vulnerability is prophetic. We need to embrace it as a strength. We want to walk as communities of hospitality." - Sr. Gemma Simmonds https://t.co/zGQkFCff2m

"Serving justice is so easily misinterpreted; how readily we would grab arms and resort to aggression in the name of fighting for justice. But hungering for justice can only make us blessed if we are also peacemakers." S. Magdolna Kovari in Hungary https://t.co/p6jZlJakSh

"Seek justice as if it were our food or drink, as if it were a matter of life and death, which it truly is. Jesus promises that all who give themselves to this ongoing struggle and persevere will be satisfied." - S. Magdolna Kovari, Hungary https://t.co/p6jZlJakSh

How am I creating channels for all this holy energy to flow?

Thank you, @WATERvoices

Could we imagine... What would it take for the world allied with Ukraine to stop using Russian oil? What international cooperation? What impacts on economies, industries, transportation, daily life...? What benefits to Earth? @nytimes @washingtonpost

Please pray for my sister in Holy Cross, Sr. Suellen Tennyson, MSC who was kidnapped in Burkina Faso yesterday. May God keep her safe.

@scnfamily This sounds so beautiful! Thank you.

Sr. Magdolna Kovari’s blog right now is the first time someone I know personally, and revere, has written “to me” from a place of horrific war and asked me, in that context, to stretch big enough to know Jesus. From Hungary, now. https://t.co/XdJcKWFzQh

Ukraine has huge impacts in Africa, too. TY for this, @sophiahousing.

[Misean Cara @miseancara]

Still reeling from the economic impact of #COVID19, aftershocks from the war in #Ukraine now further threaten food security & cost of living for millions across #Africa. Current levels of economic support must be maintained to prevent further instability. https://t.co/CzgCEC9ebL

1924: The philanthropist who outdid the Rockefellers & Carnegies was...a nun. Anyone who had given 90% of their income to charity for the previous 10 years was exempt from income taxes. It fit only one US citizen. TY Sr. Joan @FIS_SSudan https://t.co/84iwxoXgDh

I love lots at @philamuseum. But there's only one place there I yearn for. TY, @WanderingNun. Yes, "God never shuts up." Annunciations everywhere, so many kinds that it's hard for me to find Mary's clarity about which ones call *me* to awe, to action. https://t.co/uAgaXEmlWU
