Message from our Sister Superior

The Prophet Micah helped all of us when he wrote:
“This and only this is what the Lord God asks of you:
to act justly, to love tenderly, and to walk humbly with
your God” Micah (6:8).
We must always reflect what
acting justly means for us today. As people of faith, are
we acting justly in our everyday lives towards those around
us – our families, our children, our neighbours?
Doing
justice is God’s primary expectation of us. And it
must permeate all our daily interaction with those to whom,
and with whom, we care.
Acting justly begins for us by making
Nazareth House the centre of hospitality where all feel welcome
and safe. “Doing justice” affirms all people,
and honours all people in their uniqueness and their giftedness.
When we act justly we make love possible.
“Human progress
is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward
the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle;
the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated
individuals.” (Martin
Luther King Jr.)
You are someone who has grasped the elements
of justice and embraced the spirit of giving. We are blessed
that you share in our vision, and enable us to continue
in our ministries justly ... thank you.
God Bless.
