“In
1880 it was not at all obvious that the ‘land of the bean and the cod’
was a congenial planting ground for a foundation of the Society of the
Sacred Heart.” So wrote Mary Quinlan twenty-five years ago. She based
her observation on the account of the foundation in Boston that she
found in the Annual Letters, Second Part, 1880-81, pp. 293-296.
We read that Reverend Mother [Sarah] Jones, the vicar, invited to found
a house there and armed with the approval of the Mother General, set
out for Boston to find a suitable location.

'Finest Teacher' never let controversy 'take her off track': Sacred
Heart Sr. Kathleen Hughes sat surrounded by men in a library at the
Vatican. On the bookshelves were rows of binders marked with the brand
name “Resisto,” which she noted with a raised eyebrow. How could they
possibly make any progress discussing inclusive language in such a
room? Especially when the representative from the Congregation for the
Doctrine of the Faith kept referring to “the angry, irritated and
resentful women of the U.S.”? There he went again: “The angry,
irritated and resentful women of the U.S. are trying to change the
gender of God.”

Folding
chairs filed the atrium of the Missouri Historical society, and people
were still filing in, standing along the sides and back, heavy winter
coats clutched in their arms. Women religious, bearded policy wonks,
historians and NPR junkies, they’d all come to hear broadcast
journalist Cokie Roberts talk about her latest book.

I write this reflection on January 17, the day set aside to
commemorate Dr. Martin Luther King. Many of us are reflecting on what
his life and death mean for us in 2005. Dr. King spent his life trying
to bring people together in peace and in the common ground of
understanding. This quest of Dr. King's became a lens for me as I
reflected on recent events in our world.
