In 2012, filmmaker Melissa Regan read about the Nuns on the Bus in the newspaper. It was the first she’d ever heard of Sr. Simone Campbell or NETWORK, but she was intrigued. She called Campbell and within a few weeks, she was on a plane, headed to Iowa to film the first Nuns on the Bus tour.

From A Nun's Life podcasts - What if I'm so influenced by other people's ideas about my life that I don't hear God's voice? 

"O Rising Sun, send your healing rays of love into our lives."

I was in the wake of the season of El Día de Los Muertos when I attended the Living Cosmology: Christian Responses to Journey of the Universe conference at Yale Divinity School, Nov. 7-9. When Sr. Miriam Therese McGillis, who was on a panel for Seeds, Food and Soil, brought forth baskets of drying marigolds to share with participants I was very moved and surprised.

It could be the scene of an ordinary school day anywhere. Just a few days before Christmas, the younger students were making decorations and singing carols downstairs, while the older ones were taking their final exams upstairs. But for the Syrian refugee children at the Good Shepherd Social Center in Deir al-Ahmar, getting an education is something many of their young compatriots are missing.
