My dear father, #DanielEllsberg, died this morning June 16 at 1:24 a.m., four months after his diagnosis with pancreatic cancer. His family surrounded him as he took his last breath. He had no pain and died peacefully at home. commondreams.org/opinion/dan…

The Kingdom of God is like a publisher who was checking out of a hotel and couldn’t find his glasses. He scoured his room and got a doorman to look behind the bar and when he found them tangled in cord of a hair dryer he told everyone on Twitter so they could rejoice with him! 😎

In bestowing the John Courtney Murray Award on Roger Haight SJ, CTSA President Frank Clooney noted of his most famous work on Christology that “it attracted attention all over the world, including the Vatican.” Proud to have published that book and seven others. @OrbisBooks
