Listened again to my @messyjesusbiz conversation with @juliafspa. About #DorothyDay, my life as a "saint watcher," my correspondence with #SrWendyBeckett, vocation and the power of living witness. If this was my last message I wouldn't be unhappy. bit.ly/3FRxED1

Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 for refusing to take a military oath to Hitler, was beatified in 2007. The faith and courage of his wife Franziska, who died 3/16/2013, also deserves memory. My reflection in @GiveUsThisDayLP

My own life, among many other things, owes so much to the universe set in motion by Forster's stubborn faithfulness to his principles.

The Oscar-winning film "Everything, Everywhere..." posits a multiverse consisting of different universes set in motion by our differing choices or the choices made by others. I thought of Dorothy Day whose life course was changed by the refusal of Forster Batterham to marry her.
