Back in 2019, I wrote about the Catholic nuns who bought and sold human beings. It turns out that they were far from the only women actively engaged in the American slave trade. nytimes.com/2024/11/22/us/wh…

“It is ‘in the going toward’ that salvation can be found…. To be vulnerable, to tend and to love, to rip off the mask that blinds us to the beauty of the human being right in front of us. To recognize…disfiguring effect of hatred and fear, and the exacting power of love.”
