Political Quotes

“I recently added my name to a resolution introduced by Representative Rosa DeLauro to honor the Catholic sisters for their contributions to this country and to my community. I grew up in the shadows of the Mercy Convent of south Buffalo, New York. The sisters came to Buffalo in 1858, started hospitals to heal the sick, schools to teach the ignorant, and to help all of us see the gifts of God's presence in a changing world. The sisters take a vow of poverty and obedience to serve God and God's people, particularly women and children. The Vatican says that the sisters are failing to uphold the Catholic doctrine and appointed three bishops to rein them in. The sisters reject the Vatican's assessment of their life work and vow to fight. In scripture, Jesus says: ``Whatever you do to the least of my brothers and sisters, you do for me.'' The sisters are doing God's work with courage, conviction, and selflessness. May God's guiding wisdom continue to inspire their good works. ____________________”
