Thanks to clergy doing good work abroad

THANK you to Patrick Corkery for his thought provoking and intelligent letter. (April 4) I would agree that Sister Cyril Mooney is doing excellent work from reports and Patrick also mentions Sean Healy, a good theologian and writer.

Also perhaps, Brigid Reynolds who continues work at home should be mentioned.

However, it could be unfruitful at this time to personally “attack” Mother Teresa, who laid a foundation for dialogue between religions in Calcutta. She was very popular there.

Sister Cyril would probably agree.

There is also Briege McKenna, who keeps a low profile at home.

A mention should also be made of Jean Vanier, now in his 80s, a quotation from him being “Life is a challenge, not a competition”.
