presence

In this #Nunday video, Sister Columbia Fernandez, OP, shares her thoughts on the power of presence and how sharing that gift is transforming for her and for those she reaches out to.

Sisters are called to be present to each other -- and to the world.

Though the events of these days we call “holy” happened in history, they continue to unfold and resonate today in our time and place. How will the Paschal Mystery of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection transform our lives so that we become agents of healing presence for a world that is both beautiful and wounded?

To be acknowledged is one thing, but to be seen says that we are valued and loved. No matter what we do or give to practice Almsgiving, it is about the person and the relationship. Showing others that they are seen, heard, and loved has the potential to bring them back from the lifelessness of all that weighs them down.
