Years ago, an old friend who is a Sister of St. Joseph sent me a greeting card with this image on the front. I always liked it. “Women of Peace,” it was called: Eileen Egan, Dorothy Day, and Mother Teresa, from 1979.

My friend Paul Snatchko posted it on his Facebook page tonight with the question, “What would Dorothy and Teresa say this week?” Good question. Like Paul, I hope they’re both praying for all of us, and the church they loved so much.
