Virtual Retreat Discernment
	The IHM Sisters Today We, the IHM Sisters of Monroe, are Catholic women bound together in faith. We follow a call rooted in our founders' mission -- to respond to the world's most pressing needs. As the needs of the times change, so we adapt our ministries.   Today's challenge is unprecedented in scope. Human progress has come at the expense of the entire community of creation.   The cry of our times compels us to embrace a spirituality of kinship that includes all living beings. We recognize the interdependent nature of all members of the Earth community and understand that justice for the Earth is inseparable from justice for those who are poor and excluded.   We serve God as disciples of Jesus. We work for the common good. We question decisions and behaviors that devastate and divide the community of Earth. We minister as educators and caretakers of the Earth and of one another.   Today we are called to speak for the voiceless, to celebrate the diversity within our unity and to educate for citizenship on our planet.                                                                                     September 6, 2007     Our sisters minister as spiritual directors, teachers, pastoral associates, artists, musicians, scientists, administrators, hospital and prison chaplains, professors, psychologists, social workers, peace and justice advocates, cooks in soup kitchens, theologians, authors and in many more ministries.
