Inspired by the life of Charles de Foucauld, LS Magdeleine set out to imitate the “hidden life” of Jesus, when he lived as a carpenter among his neighbors in Nazareth. A world that loves efficiency and bigness, she said, will never understand the power of Bethlehem or Nazareth.
Little Sister Magdeleine, founder of the Little Sisters of Jesus d 11/6/1989. “As you work, as you come and go..., to be a contemplative will mean simply that you try to turn to Jesus within you and enter into conversation with him, as with the one you love most in the world.”

The occasion was the @OrbisBooks 50th anniversary and the publication of so many of his books bit.ly/3k2HSCu. The message about maintaining a true horizon of meaning and hope in another possible history truly speaks to our moment.

In advance of the national lottery, the master, who had already spent his anticipated windfall, “hereby proclaimed” himself the winner. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
