James Martin, S.J., about her four decades of ministry with migrants and refugees on the U.S.-Mexico border, in South Texas. Together, they discuss: - Sister Norma’s call to religious life, what prayer practices have sustained her over the years and the big boost she received from Pope Francis. - Misconceptions about migrants and refugees and how best to address them. - The power of personal encounter in changing minds and hearts, along with Sister Norma’s commitment to being present to those she ministers to.
