Jesuit Father Edward Dowling died April 3 1960. Among his many ministries he served as a spiritual advisor to Bill W, co-founded of A.A who called him “The greatest human soul that I’m sure I shall ever know.” My reflection in @GiveUsThisDayLP

Orthodox St and martyr Maria Skobstova died in Ravensbruk camp on 3/31 1945. My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP “At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises… I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry…visit the prisoners?”
