Look, those who have eyes to see!

Amidst all the doom and gloom we hear over religious life as a declining numbers game come the voices and faces of newer members from several different congregations and communities who reflect the excitement most of us feel when we think about the adventure we have been called to share. Religious who are in this for their lives and the lives of those they minister to do not focus on what we are not but rather on what we are called to; we hope that others will share this perspective and be amazed at what God is doing in and with our lives! Jesus' admonition to "look, those who have eyes to see" is especially significant today.
