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

It was not simply the indignity of fingerprinting that troubled the master. Would the police use the occasion to mock the size of his hands or attempt to read his palms? And would an application of bleach eliminate all traces of blood? #TolstoysTalesofTrump

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

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?”

Sr Thea Bowman d March 30, 1990. “What does it mean to be Black and Catholic? It means that I come to my church fully functioning, I bring myself, my Black self, all that I am, all that I have, all that I hope to become.” My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP #BlackCatholic

Highly recommend the documentary “The Movement and the Madman,” the story of the massive anti-war Moratorium demonstrations of Oct and Nov 1969 which—unknown to the protesters—had enormous effect in changing history, thwarting Nixon’s secret plan to launch massive escalation…
