"I hope you come to find that which gives life a deep meaning for you. Something worth living for - maybe even worth dying for, something that energizes you, enthuses you, enables you to keep moving ahead."

-Ita Ford
Murdered Maryknoll Sister

30 years ago today, these three consecrated religious and one lay missionary were murdered in El Salvador.  Please, do me a favor:  Go read this, right now

What can we learn from these women of faith? In what ways did the Gospel influence their decisions, their priorities, even their way of relating with people? And why might that be threatening to people?


Now my friends, I'm NOT encouraging you to go find ways to get yourself killed for your faith.... but what can we learn from these four as we continue on our journey of faith? Comments welcomed!
