I was in about my twentieth year working at St. Joan of Arc Parish in Boca Raton, Florida. A participant raised his hand and asked, "What are we doing for the poor?"
On my third visit to Peru as Superior General, I knew. That was where I was being called to minister.
"There was a wonderful sense in Peru of building the 'Reino de Dios' — the Reign of God — where there would be justice, peace and love."
