"This is my daily Pentecost: allowing the Spirit to unlock the parts of my heart I've shattered, so that I may step out and speak the language of God's love to a world waiting to hear it," writes one sister.
Global Sisters Report's ninth year of The Life features a panel of 20 sisters who will take turns responding to a prompt or a question about spirituality, religious life and challenges of our world today.
"To live this vocation is to live in friendship — with God, with others, and with creation," one sister writes. "That friendship, ever deepening, remains the greatest gift of my vocation."
"God is just as present in the silence as in the joy," writes one sister. "He is patient with me, gentle in my struggle and faithful even when I falter."
This month Global Sisters Report invited panelists to reflect on the question: When have you had an Ascension or Pentecost "moment" when you had to stop clinging and let go? How did the Holy Spirit show up for you?
We asked panelists: What can we learn through, from and for nature? What kind of threat does climate change pose to peace? What are you doing to change it? Responses reflect the living legacy of Pope Francis' love for creation.
