Rev. Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, on Saints Clare and Jane and Co-responsibility

"Last week I attended a meeting of the major superiors of male religious orders and communities.  The title of the conference was 'One in the Mission of Christ:  Co-Responsibility in Religious Leadership.'  The talks and reflections focused on how the Church can work more closely with our sisters and brothers in proclaiming the Gospel and living the Christian life. . . .

"This week the Church celebrates the lives of two saints who, I believe, paved the way for the co-responsibility and synodality that we are calling for today."

In a recent commentary, Father Jack Kolodziej, OSFS, reflected on how Saint Clare of Assisi and Saint Jane Frances de Chantal shared the "responsibility of leadership and mission that are an example for modern women and men in the Church."
