God’s word is an event. It does something. During Lent God invites us to see his word at work–achieving the end for which he sends it.

We have an obligation as Christians to make sure we don’t settle for having merely our own needs met.

Ursuline Sister Dianna Ortiz was teaching indigenous children as a missionary in Guatemala in 1989 when her ministry was torn apart in the midst of the country’s brutal civil war.
