Women and children throughout the world suffer from unfortuate circumstances or from the injustice of others or policies or systems.  Do you see yourself addressing the needs of women – and children – in ministry?  God calls us to create a more humane world where there is equality and respect for all human kind.  Your gifts and skills as a religious sister can make a difference!  To support the health, well-being and social needs of women, God may be asking you to make a difference as a Sister serving in ministry to help women living below the poverty level, or needing our support and affirmation to achieve a decent quality of life.  Can you see yourself as a sister who makes this difference?  What skills would you bring, or want to develop to answer God’s call to make this happen?  Could it be in a ministry that meets pressing needs of women and children?
