Awake, we dream of our aspirations: the things we yearn for, desire to accomplish or hope to become.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One story in this issue features three seminarians set to be ordained to the priesthood this June. Their dream is to become Maryknoll priests. In another article, on the sending of four Maryknoll lay missioners, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/03\/dream-on-lay-missioners-sent-to-serve\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bishop Mark Seitz of El Paso<\/a> goes further, calling Maryknollers \u201ca bunch of dreamers\u201d working for a world that Jesus \u201cdreamed of.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, dreams run throughout this issue. My article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maryknollmagazine.org\/2024\/03\/sheep-find-their-pastor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Father Kyungsu Son<\/a>\u2019s work in Peru recounts his efforts to help blind people fulfill their dreams to thrive and be independent. A feature on the Maryknoll Sisters in Cambodia reflects the realization of their dream to help Cambodians rebuild their ravaged nation through education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We also tell the story of an immigrant whose community in Guatemala was served by Maryknoll missioners. He fled political violence to find the American Dream and now serves as a leader in the Church\u2019s ministry to Indigenous people. Our Partners in Mission column this issue, from a volunteer in Bolivia, is even titled \u201cMaryknoll Dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all dream. We dream in our slumber, and we dream in our hopes and longings. Many \u2014 as evidenced in our article on the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians \u2014 dream of peace and security. Let us join them with <a href=\"https:\/\/maryknollogc.org\/article\/nonviolence-and-just-peace-call-prayer-and-solidarity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">our prayers<\/a> for the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-right\"><em>Lynn F.
