Lenten Reflections: Week Two
This week we offer a discussion of how Catholic schools can respond to the recent controversy regarding elements of critical race theory. Although high schools are not teaching this graduate level theory, it is based on the belief that racism exists in the systems and structures that inform practice both in schools and in the broader community.
Lenten Reflections: Week One
The RDC Social Justice Board invites you to share in our weekly reflections for Lent. This first one, by Christopher Smith, S. J., is a personal story, to help us understand how people experience racial challenges. It is a love story, exhibiting the Gospel truth that love can conquer everything.
Lent
As we begin our Lenten journey this week, the RDC Social Justice Board offers the following resources for reflection, prayer and action. During this season of repentance and renewal, let us recommit ourselves to a closer and prayerful following of Jesus.
Pope Francis Prays
“Every Christian is called to be a missionary and witness to Christ. And the Church, the community of Christ’s disciples, has no other mission than that of bringing the Gospel to the entire world by bearing witness to Christ. To evangelize is the very identity of the Church.”
New Year Blessings
May you be blessed with good health and peace in your hearts and homes, and know you are held in the arms of the Divine Compassion.
Associates' 40th Anniversary
In December 1981, five women became the first lay Associates of the Divine Compassion. The Chapel was filled with Sisters, families and friends, who joined together to celebrate the RDC Community’s new venture.
Christmas Blessings
Wishing you the gift of HOPE, the blessing of FAITH and the Peace of God’s LOVE!
While Romans Slept
