Last updated on: March 31, 2016 at 8:52 am   By Sr. Theresa Aletheia Noble

Ours is a world full of sadness that masquerades as satisfaction. It underlies much of what people say and do. Our sadness can be found particularly in the hatred and disdain we feel for others who think differently than we do. Read more
