Father William Shannon, diocesan priest: The spirit of minority

by

Often, as I drive to work in downtown Honolulu, I see people standing out on the street mixed in with the fast-paced successful business personnel and wonder, “What is his or her circumstance?

I said, “Now that I am almost graduating, I want to become a religious sister.”

Father Napoleon Andres, Missionaries of our Lady of La Salette: Closer to the heart of God

by

I remember that whenever any one of us seven children did something wrong at home, we would all hide and not say anything. My parents would ask, “Who broke this glass?” But, because we were ashamed, we couldn’t look straight at them.

Because of this, there were times when we turned our hearts away from our mom and dad feeling far away from them. Little did we understand that they still loved us.
