As we prepare to celebrate Easter, Interim Executive Director Elvira Ramirez is thinking about the capacity of Maryknoll Lay Missioners to be an “Easter people”: “What does this mean,” she asks, “when, for too many people, life seems to be a perpetual Good Friday?”
Some of our missioners are like Simon, helping to carry the burdensome crosses of young people living with disabilities in Cambodia, Tanzania and Bolivia; others weep as they accompany traumatized migrants at the Mexico-U.S. border and internally displaced individuals in several countries.
Together with all people of good will and emboldened by the risen Christ, Maryknoll Lay Missioners commits to service and solidarity, responsible interdependence with all creation, intentional and antiracist transformation of structures, and active nonviolence in our relationships.
“The place and time for action is everywhere and now,” Elvira says.
