Sister Maxine talks with St. Joseph Sr. Patricia Flass, who has lived and worked in small towns around Selma, Alabama, for more than 20 years. Sister Pat reflects on what keeps her going and how the people she serves influence her faith as she ministers in some of the most impoverished areas in the United States.

Pope Francis greets immigrants at the port in Lampedusa, Italy, during his first papal trip outside Rome, on July 8, 2013. During that visit, Francis urged people not to be part of the "globalization of indifference" to the world's immigrants and refugees. Francis' call for mercy toward all summarizes his vision of the church, writes Diego Mauro. (CNS/CPP/L'Osservatore Romano)
