Fr. Mark Miller, CSsR
Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorists:
I began to realize that a great deal of our moral teaching tends to focus on actions by individuals-things like lying and gossip, or stealing or losing
one's temper, or sexual sins-such that when we talk about morality for
Catholics we automatically start thinking about topics such as abortion, euthanasia, and not going to Mass on Sunday as the failures or sins of
individuals.However, something began to catch my attention over the years as I read the letters of Paul or Peter or James.

Fr. David Purcell, CSsR
Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorists:
We know how much a mother can love her child, a child of her own flesh. Yet, each of us have experienced the impatience and limits of our own mothers. Mary reaches out to us through the Spirit of Love. Mary carries a pure love for us that never fades, is never irritable, but is always patient
and always kind, and endures forever.

Fr. Babu Mathew, CSsR
Edmonton-Toronto Redemptorists:
Tears are a language. Tears express desires and touch hearts in a way words cannot. What we may not obtain through ordinary means may often be obtained through tears. There is something deeply moving about tears. When we see someone weeping, it can have quite an effect on us. The stronger the person
who weeps the more powerful the effect is upon us.

Fr. Philip Dabney, CSsR
Baltimore Province Redemptorists:
This beautiful icon of Our Mother of
Perpetual Help invites everyone who
comes to her to believe as she believed. What is it that she wants us to believe? "That what the Lord has promised will be fulfilled," will come to pass, will be realized.
And that promise has a name: Jesus.

Ako Walker, CSsR
Redemptorist Novitiate:
I think of those suffering from cancer, HIV and AIDs, those thinking about
suicide or addicted to some substance. I think about teenaged pregnant
mothers, those who have no one to turn to when their case seems hopeless and
then, I regard Mary as the mother of all who find themselves in difficult
situations.

n 1988, when I was 18, right after high school I left for France where I
lived at l'Arche for 18 months. L'Arche is a French word meaning the ark and it is a community started by Jean Vanier, where volunteers work and live with mentally handicapped adults. It was love and adventure that got me there -as my boyfriend who was a year ahead of me in school had spent the year there, but it was love and
adventure of a different that made me stay
