September 5, 2021: Be Opened with Ann Carr

Catholic Women Preach

Preaching for the Twenty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Ann Carr offers a reflection on our need to be opened by Christ:

"To hear, to speak, to breathe. What does it mean for us to have our own grace filled, life transforming encounter with Jesus in this time of epochal change? Do we have the courage of the deaf man and his community of companions to approach the Christ and be opened? "

Ann Carr is a long time member of the Maryknoll Affiliate movement and has twice served on the Maryknoll Affiliate leadership board. Her undergraduate work at Bucknell University was in Religious Studies. Currently, she works as a pediatrician in Philadelphia, PA with children with special health care needs. She also works part time with the team at a children’s home in Macuelizo Honduras. Her areas of interest include liberation theology, the integration of contemplation and mission, evolutionary consciousness theology and trauma informed care for children.
