Voices Of Our World

Spring 2026

As we journey through Lent, Fr. Rodrigo unpacks the earlier remarks of a Maryknoll Brother who inspired him to look anew at his own vocation to mission: “I came, I saw, and I was conquered.” As Fr. Rodrigo observes, this quote captures the essence of what can take place when we approach discernment with an open heart. Mission has a way of capturing our lives — each of us in a unique way — when our hearts remain poised to encounter Christ in all things and among all peoples. Don’t be afraid of allowing your heart to conquered by God’s love.

In a brief reflection contributed by Seminarian Barrack Odeka and selected photos, we also take a look back at Maryknoll’s participation in the SEEK 2026 conference hosted by the Fellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) from January 1st – 5th in Columbus, Ohio.

Our 2026 Holy Week “Come and See” Retreat, April 1st — 5th, 2026, for men discerning priesthood or Brotherhood is also coming up! Please consider joining us at our Mission Center at Maryknoll, NY, where we will journey together with Christ to a new life in God’s love.

This includes addressing hard realities that white people have typically been able to avoid, due to the blissful ignorance afforded us by an unjust system of racism in the United States and the Church. Among the questions addressed: What is racism? What does it mean to be white? Why is racism a white problem? Why doesn’t anything seem to change? What does the Catholic Church teach about racism? And, where do go from here?Daniel P. Horan is professor of philosophy, religious studies, and theology, and director of the Center for the Study of Spirituality at Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame.
