"What does it mean to be Black and Catholic? It means that I come to my Church fully functioning. That doesn’t frighten you, does it? I come to my Church fully functioning. I bring myself; my Black self, all that I am, all that I have, all that I hope to become."

-Sr. Thea Bowman’s Address to the US Bishop’s Conference, 1989

Flesh to dust and joy to weeping-
death, a mystery, silence keeping.
Faith, by doubts and questions taunted,
treasures nature's truth, undaunted:
Though the darkness overtake us,
God will not, will not forsake us.
Eyes of love shall still behold us,
arms of mercy yet enfold us.

We join in the witness of ones gone before
who stand at the threshold of Christ's open door:
your saints, like the stars, who now brilliantly shine
and draw us to fullness, redeeming the time!
