Sr. Simone Campbell, Executive Director of NETWORK, a national Catholic social justice lobby.
The bishops say these feminists
Are “straying” far from the fold.
“We’re for life. All of life,”
Say the sisters, doing as Jesus told.
Nuns on the Bus steer
To life and love, not power.
They have no fear.
Just faith they will recover
The Christ in Christianity;
Compassion before conformity.
Standing with the many
Held hostage by the wealthy.
Love says: Look for Me
On the highways and the byways.
And in the heart of your city;
In hospitals and schools.
In war-weary, distant towns
And in your neighbor who’s down
And out. Nuns on the bus
Drive for faith, family, fairness.
“Straying” from the fold—
So they can do as Jesus told.
Nuns on the Bus. Driving
For Christ in diversity,
And in our shared humanity.
Love calls us each by name,
And the Sisters say, “Here I am!”
Inviting our heartfelt “Amen!”
Connect with the N
uns on the Bus starting in Iowa June 18 and ending in Virginia on July 2, with stops in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Learn more about the vital work the sisters do and how the Ryan Budget would gravely harm the services they provide to those in need.
And here are other ways to support their bus tour for social justice.
DRIVE SAFE, SISTERS!
