Day 9: God’s Good Gifts
How might you hear the invitation to step into the breach—to bring your community’s needs to God and be assured that, if you discover that you are the answer to that need, God, who “gives good gifts,” will be with you?
Catherine Punsalan-Manlimos is assistant to the president for mission integration at the University of Detroit Mercy. Her work as mission officer is informed by her training as a systematic theologian and spiritual director. She has been in Jesuit higher education for over three decades, with experiences at the Ateneo de Manila University (Philippines) and Seattle University before joining Detroit Mercy.

It takes revolutionary grace to accept the invitation of Ignatian spirituality to openness and receptivity, welcoming even our “enemy” in their complexity and brokenness.
When I remember what led me to the work I do, I find a certain freedom and lightness…my labor is an expression of my love of God and of neighbor.
