This Week's Journey of Faith - Are you ready? Listen online now : https://maryknoll.link/i2h Stay awake and be ready! For you do not know on what day your Lord will come. (Matthew 24:42... When you least expect it Isn’t that what we’re often told? Just relax. When you least expect it, some great fortune will come your way. I look at this everyday wisdom a little differently: Blessings are gifts from God. But they don’t come when God is ready. They come when we’re ready to being transformed in God’s grace. You see, the divine is always present. It’s just that sometimes we have a problem seeing God, especially when that unexpected thing is unsettlingand not what we want at all. Many years ago at 23 years of age I was just starting out my missionary life in Peru. I was thrilled to be among the people. But I was also learning what it meant to accept a grace when disguised by tragedy. One day I was alone at the rectory when the doorbell rang. A young couple had arrived, carrying their infant baby. They pleaded with me to baptize the infant but I couldn’t. The baby had already died. I felt completely helpless and could only comfort them in their grief. I didn’t have the answers they wanted, but I overcame my fear and inadequacy by remaining as present to them as I could. As a result of that encounter, the couple and I formed a long-lasting friendship. I accompanied them for years in prayer and counseling. They considered me to be a member of their family. The grace we gave each other helped us grow into more compassionate people: me as a missioner and them as a couple. Through our friendship and trust in God we deepened each other’s faith.

The Maryknoll Fathers and Brothers invite you to join us in spirit on Saturday, November 7 in response to Pope Francis' call for prayer for Artificial Intelligence. "We pray that the progress of robotics and artificial intelligence may always serve humankind." To learn more about AI and how it can work better serve us check out one of the latest books from Orbis: Re-enchanting the Earth In her new book, scientist and theologian Ilia Delio takes up the challenge of devising a... rapprochement between science and religion, with particular attention to the role of Artificial Intelligence, or AI. If the first axial age gave rise to the great religions, she sees us now on the cusp of a second axial age, in which AI, oriented by new religious sensibilities, can bring about an ecological re-enchantment of the earth.

From the Maryknoll Archives - Maryknoll’s co-founder, Bishop James A. Walsh, gave a talk about Unity on September 23, 1928, a mere 92 years ago! Check out the Mission Archives Online: https://maryknoll.link/8cb ‘One Lord, one Faith and one Baptism.’ These words bring home to us the idea of unity, an idea which appeals strongly to all of us in whatever walk of life we find ourselves. We naturally look for unity. We have a splendid example of unity in the human body where a...ll the members are guided by the head. It is marvelous, this body of ours, how all the nerves and the blood cells are fed by the heart; how the life of the body is directed by the head. Here is a perfect example of unity.[..] [W]e must apply that to our own life[] Our share is small, yet big enough to be noticed by the head. But no matter how small it is, it is important and we must remember everyone of us is important, no matter what may be our position. It is in the power of anyone here to hurt the community to which he belongs and it is also in his power to strengthen that community.[..] We should often apply this to ourselves, and never to allow ourselves to get to that point where we feel that because of our position we are useless in the body to which we belong. No. We are very important, everyone of us. Our prayers, our little sacrifices, are probably more important than the work we do, in God’s eyes. We are each of us in position to build up the strength of the [community.] All of these years later what Bishop Walsh is saying still rings true. We all play a role in our community. Each role is important. Each voice matters. It is within our power to strengthen our community. The question is, what are we doing with that power? Let us strive to grow, challenge and strengthen our communities through the inevitable changes that the passing of time will bring. #unity #maryknoll #bishopjameswalsh #maryknollmissionarchives
