Our current @OrbisBooks bestseller— released last month, already going into a third printing. So moving and inspiring. #JamesFinley— a mystic and wounded healer.
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

April issue of @GiveUsThisDayLP My Blessed Among Us include Edward Dowling SJ, Martin Luther King Jr, Teilhard de Chardin, Rachel Carson, James Cone, St Catherine of Siena, and many more.
Whenever he envisioned his arrest the master had imagined it would be for something HUGE like seizing the telegraph exchange or sacking Rome—surely not for public urination. Still, it would burnish his image as a martyr and disruptor of the status quo. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
