"Struggles for justice have been with us from our beginnings, even though we framed our work differently and had to grow into its current understandings. Early documents remind us that 'those who teach others unto justice will shine like the stars in heaven' (Dn 12:3). But, we believe as do all serious pray-ers that it is commitment to going ever deeper into the seeming darkness of contemplation that we find Jesus and his dreams for us to be joyful disciples."

- Joyce Meyer, PBVM, from Global community of prayer, published on Global Sisters Report.
