Jesus challenged others by leading with compassion.  
In his ministry, Jesus crossed boundaries. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and cared for the persecuted. But he also befriended the persecutors: the tax collectors, the sinners, the outcasts. When dialogue is conducted in a patient and prayerful space, we can be witness to one another’s transformation.  
Reflect on how your life and ministry has changed over time. Many of our sisters model this gift of change. Some members of our congregation entered religious life in a time before Vatican II, but spent their careers in community organizing at home and abroad. How can we offer the same opportunity for transformation to others, living in the hope and joy of the Gospel? 
“To live is to change, and to be perfect is to have changed often.”
—Blessed John Henry Newman
