Jesus proclaimed the gospel of the kingdom and cured every disease among the people.
Jesús predicaba la buena nueva del Reino y curaba las enfermedades y dolencias del pueblo.
Today Jesus is calling Peter, Andrew, James and John to follow him. Following Jesus was a difficult journey for these first disci-ples. It is difficult for us today. Jesus wants to teach us his way of thinking, acting and encountering the world. But it is not easy for us to embrace his teaching. Good stewards must learn from their experiences of being open and resistant to the Gospel. They realize the need to be liberated from those actions that keep them from enjoying a closer friendship with Jesus.
Hoy nosotros escuchamos a Jesús llamar a Pedro, a Andrés, a Santiago y a Juan para que le sigan. Seguir a Jesús fue una jorna-da difícil para estos primeros discípulos. Es difícil para nosotros actualmente. Jesús quiere enseñarnos su manera de pensar, actuar y encontrarse con el mundo. No es fácil para nosotros abrazar sus enseñanzas. Los buenos corresponsables de las enseñanzas de Je-sús son conscientes de que ellos están en un camino espiritual, y deben aprender de sus experiencias a estar abiertos al evangelio. Ellos conocen la necesidad de ser liberados de esas acciones que les privan de disfrutar una amistad más cercana con Jesús.

In today’s Gospel we hear Jesus ca-
lling Peter, Andrew, James and John to
follow him. Following Jesus was a dif-
ficult journey for these first disciples. It is
difficult for us today. Jesus wants to teach
us his way of thinking, acting and encoun-
tering the world. But it is not easy for us
to embrace his teaching. Good stewards
of Jesus’ teachings realize they are on a
spiritual journey, and must learn from
their experiences of being open and resis-
tant to the Gospel. They realize the need
to be liberated from those actions that
keep them from enjoying a closer frien-
dship with Jesus. What is it in our lives
that we need to reform?

(CRUX) Franciscan Sister Gwen Hennessey, director of Clare Guest House, puts a different spin on the “What would Jesus do?” slogan. “I think what we provide is what Jesus would do,” said Gwen, who directs the transitional home for wom-en released from prison. Clare Guest House began as an initiative of the Sioux City Multicul-tural Neighborhood Project, a minis-try approved by the Sisters of St. Francis of Dubuque, Iowa, in 1998. Its mission was to respond to the needs of poor women and children, collaborate in the development of neighborhood communities and serve as an outreach to Spanish-speaking immigrants. “When we no longer had any Spanish-speaking sisters for the pro-ject, it evolved into this project of providing a safe, supportive environ-ment for women coming out of pris-on,” explained Franciscan Sister Grace Ann Witte, who resides at Clare Guest House with Gwen. In 2005, Franciscan Sisters Shirley Waldschmitt, Mary Lee Cox and Grace Ann initiated planning for the halfway house. They developed a philosophy for the house, identified the type of women it would serve, drafted rules and staffing plans before
presenting their findings. It was at that time the name Clare Guest House developed, in honor of St. Clare of Assisi, who lived an ac-tive life among the poor, serving lep-ers, before being forced into an en-closed contemplative life. They identified a two-story, five-bedroom house in a residential area
north of downtown to locate the min-istry. “The first guest arrived on Decem-ber 12, 2005, the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe,” she recalled. “I don’t think it was a coincidence that first guest was half-Hispanic.” In 2006, Clare Guest House was incorporated as an independent organ-ization, distinct from the neighbor-hood project and from the Sisters of St. Francis. The home has had 106 admissions since opening. Most have been
(Iowa ministry concluded…)
women released from the Iowa Wom-en’s Correctional Institution in Mitch-ellville. Some have returned to the home more than once, Gwen admitted. “We’ve had some women who were not success stories,” she said, “but we’ve also had many who have, who have kept in touch with us, thanking us for getting their lives back.” Clare Guest House is the only transitional home of its type in north-west Iowa and the only one under the auspices of the Dubuque Franciscans, who founded Briar Cliff University in Sioux City. Sister Grace Ann, a former Briar Cliff sociology and criminology pro-fessor, explained that guests, who all are on parole, must commit to stay at least two months but no more than six months. “During that time, women must look for work, meet with parole offic-ers and help with chores, such as cooking and cleaning,” she said. “In some cases, especially for health rea-sons, we have allowed the stay to be longer.” “We have had women as young as 19 and as old as 64; however, the most frequently occurring ages were 25, 26,” she said. “We’ve had women who completed an eighth-grade edu-cation and ones who earned master’s degrees.” What may be a common connec-tion among the women is substance abuse. Almost 90 percent of the wom-en on their application forms indicated a problem with substance abuse and almost 80 percent have been in treat-ment for chemical dependency. “It’s certainly one of our greatest challenges, mental health issues be-cause of the environment in which these women were raised with their addictions,” Gwen said.
