Dorothy Day was a voracious reader. You could do worse than to follow her reading list: from Dostoevsky, St. Teresa, the Little Flowers of St. Francis, and Tales of the Hasidim, to "Prison Memoirs of an Anarchist." So many of these titles I discovered through her.

The "Collected Works" of Anne Frank. show the evolution of a young writer of extraordinary gifts, given only two years to find her voice before being devoured by forces of hatred. How many like her never have even that chance? theguardian.com/books/2019/m…

Four years since the murder of 9 members of "Mother Emmanuel" AME Church in Charleston, SC, 6/17/2015. Sadly, not the last victims of white supremacy--they left a legacy of faith that inspired lives of service and decency and showed the world the power of amazing grace.

"[It was] an act that [the killer] presumed would deepen divisions that trace back to our nation's original sin. Oh, but God works in mysterious ways. God has different ideas." --President Obama, at the memorial for Rev. Clementa Pickney

Wonderful interview with @OrbisBooks author Jim Forest, discussing mentors in peacemaking: Dorothy Day, Merton, Berrigan. And I was touched to see him reference our lifelong friendship at the end. WITNESS - Jim Forest, author and peacemaker piped.video/9iBz59LvMgo via @YouTube

“How far is love, even with many wrong opinions, to be preferred to truth without love? We may die without knowledge of many truths and yet be carried into Abraham’s bosom. But if we die without love what will knowledge avail? Just as much as it avails the devil and his angels.”

My mistake: This actually shows Pope Francis’ father and grandfather.

This was the case with many, if not most, saints. They generally chose a different path than the one their parents preferred.

“Happy Father’s Day to all, including my worst and most vicious critics, of which there are fewer and fewer.” An inside joke for Kim Jung-un and other special pals.

When the father of Francis of Assisi dragged his son before the town bishop and accused him of stealing from him to give to the poor, Francis stripped off his rich clothes and returned them, saying, “I have called you Father, but now I say instead Our Father who art in Heaven.”

Wondering if the subject of Islamophobia come up in your meeting with the “Queen of England (UK)” or the “Prince of Whales”?

He has accompanied me through all the most blessed and the hardest of times. How fortunate the person who can count one such friend in this life.
