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…
Last month @Plough asked to interview me about my dad for Father's Day. I am grateful for this opportunity to talk about his human qualities, his lessons, the ways he has shaped my life. "plough.com/en/topics/justice…

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
A beloved teacher, a brilliant scholar, a generous friend, a faithful son of Ignatius who has tried to make Christian faith intelligible and meaningful to a modern audience.

Sigrid Undset died June 10 1949. One of Dorothy Day’s favorite writers. She always gave copies of “Kristin Lavransdatter” to young women at the CW. My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP
