Sister Doreen Glynn, CSJ speaks about her missionary work in Peru

Sister spoke to the parishioners at Sunday Mass (Sunday, the 29th of August, 2021). You will find the complete text here. What follows is a selection from that text. "Together may we all grow in that missionary spirit of living in solidarity with people who are poor and who know what the Cross is in their lives. At our baptism we were signed with the Cross and chosen to bring hope and healing to the world. What a privilege is ours! The Gospels tell us that when Jesus saw a vast crowd his heart was moved with pity for them for, they were like sheep without a shepherd. We cannot claim to be followers of Jesus, the Good Shepherd, unless we continue his work of tending the hurting flocks with our abundance."
