Lives of Service takes us on an inspiring journey of faith and discovery. Profiles of Maryknoll missioners today—priests, Sisters, Brothers, and lay people—show their efforts to live the Gospel and seek the face of God among the diverse cultures and peoples of the world.

Their stories include

• A Maryknoll Brother working in Thailand talks about holding “the body of Christ” as an indigent man dies in his arms.
• A Maryknoll priest in Bangladesh speaks of the “compassion of Allah,” as he witnesses brilliant generosity in his destitute Muslim neighbors.
• A lay missioner and physician finds “miracles” in her medical work in an impoverished war zone in Sudan
• A Maryknoll Sister describes her work among HIV/AIDS patients in Cambodia as an effort to “witness to the presence of God in their lives.”
• A Maryknoll Sister in Panama describes the experience of mission this way: “We discover the beauty and tragedy of life together.”
