Sisters care about creation, minister to those in need, and keep hope amid adversity—their witness and reflections can help us to do the same.
In Wisdom from the Global Sisterhood, Catholic sisters from across the world share their insights about prayer, grace, grief and healing, ministries, and a variety of topics. From the thousands of columns published since it began in April 2014, Global Sisters Report’s editors share some of the publication’s most insightful columns to celebrate the enduring life and ministry of these remarkable women of faith.
Wisdom from the Global Sisterhood amplifies the voices of these sisters as well as their often hidden and unrecognized ministries in the most distant parts of the world. It offers a sampling of lessons and messages intended to deepen our prayer lives and help us to grow in grace. Reflection questions included throughout may be used for personal contemplation or in small group discussions. Through the inspiring stories of Catholic women religious worldwide, readers are invited to discover the profound impact of sisters as they continue to encourage others to bring hope, compassion, and service to communities—and walk the synodality path supporting the most vulnerable.
