The Vision Statement of the Sisters of Charity calls us to “risk being prophetic in church and society”. This prophetic stance may at times be exercised by taking an active nonviolent stance, disobeying laws that lead to war, poverty, discrimination, injustice, etc. However, the first step to this type of prophetic action is the confrontation of the violence in our thoughts, words and actions toward self and others. As a help to move toward a consistent living of this call in our Vision Statement we have placed some quotes and actions for reflection.
