Other editions of book His Hands on Earth: Courage, Compassion, Charism, and the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus

Portraits of missionary sisters as they work in some of the most difficulty, dangerous, and turbulent parts of the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. Central America during the revolutionary period. Northern Mexico during the migration to the United States. Swaziland during the AIDS epidemic. Italy during the aftermath of World War II. Argentina during the military regime. Brazil during the rise in crime and fall of the environment. These stories are fascinating and inspiring—and not at all what you'd expect in a book about nuns. Introduction by Sr. Barbara Staley, MSC.

His Hands on Earth looks into the lives and work of Cabrini Sisters in some of the most difficult and desperate places in the world. Some have confronted the AIDS epidemic in Swaziland. Others labor in the slums of Argentina and the outback of Brazil. Others have lived among the poor in Nicaragua during the revolution. Others serve the poor in gang-controlled districts of Guatemala City. Others shelter desperate migrants at a desert safehouse in northern Mexico. These stories of compassion, courage, dedication, and faith portray the quietest heroes in the world. As Glenn Cheney explores their lives, he presents situations in places too often overlooked. Their stories are history in the making, depictions of a world still struggling for decency, dignity, justice, and goodwill.
