Do you hear what I hear?
Have I listened to myself, lately...
A present day currency,
of highly questionable value -
fake news, misinformation,
rumor, gossip, hearsay.
Of genuine worth are words,
clear, dignified, transparent,
trusted speech,
sincerely and honorably spoken.
Truth, straight as an arrow.
May our actions be authentic,
and the words we speak
be as straight as arrows.
Can I hear myself?
Inspired by something her dear friend asked Sr. Alice the day before she passed away, the book is a collection of Sr. Alice’s poems written over a period of time, and often reflective of questions that creep into our ordinary lives as we make our way in the day’s challenging climate.
In the hustle and bustle of our lives we are often challenged to pause and discover “thin places.” As referred to by Celtic Christians, thin places are those rare locales where the veil between heaven and earth is lifted.
Sr. Lori DeGiorgio’s We Walk the Road Together invites you deep into the hard experiences of people seeking a safe and more hopeful life in the United States. The photos of migrants’ poignant moments seem to mirror those of Jesus on his road to Calvary.
Oil painting, drawing, pastels, watercolor, colored pencils, and more. Looking across the classroom in eighth grade, Sr. Terry noticed a classmate doing a pencil sketch, and she thought she could do that, as well. And so she did, and that was how it all started.
