Franz Jägerstätter was not a saint because of the sacrifice he made of his life. He was already a saint in his ordinary life, at home hidden from the world, following and showing his good conscience.

A wonderful account of the editor who published Dorothy Day, Martin Luther King Jr, Howard Thurman, and so many modern classics. Thanks to @sprothero for a fascinating story. And may this inspire a new genre of bios of the great religion editors! I would read them all.

Dorothee Soelle, who died in 2003, was one of the most creative and prophetic German theologians of the post-war generation whose work was shaped by the memory of war, the Holocaust, and totalitarianism.

All of us face the prospect of death--if not this day, then one day. But most of us would rather defer that thought indefinitely.
These lessons teach us something about how to die. But mostly they show us what it means to truly live

“If I had a tombstone, I’ve always thought what it would say is: ‘He became a member of the antiwar and anti-nuclear movements,’” he said, wapo.st/3Ndjd0w

A happy memory: 2013 when #HarryBelafonte , Joan Baez and my dad were honored by the War Resisters League. Belafonte quoted King who was accused of “preaching to the choir.” “If I stop preaching to the choir they might stop singing.” He told the activists: “Keep singing.”

Käthe Kollwitz, one of Dorothy Day’s favorite artists. My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP “One day a new idea will arise and there will be an end to all wars. I am convinced of this.”

On Emmaus day, I wanted to share this “modern icon” of a scene from the Road to Emmaus that hangs in my study. The artist is a Ukrainian woman, Ivanka Demchuk. My favorite detail: you can see their “hearts burning within them”
