@DanielEllsberg interviewed on NPR Fresh Air:
Q: You had spent many years as a young man, as a real patriot. I mean, you truly believed in the country, right?

@DeannaTheMrs Hi. I happened to come across your video review of "The Franciscan Saints." I know it was not your cup of tea (fair enough), but you said you had many questions for the author, which I would be happy to answer. Feel free to contact me: orbisbooks@maryknoll.org

Great review of David Steindl-Rast’s “99 Names of God.” Available now at 30% off at @OrbisBooks. orbisbooks.com/99-names-of-g…
In "99 Names of God," the author's intent is not to collapse Islam into Christianity or vice versa, but rather to appreciate that Muslims too encounter God, and like Christians their naming is a way to enter into the nameless origin of all. ncr.media/3h8X96I

Feast of St Thomas: “I cannot see the wounds of Jesus as Thomas saw them. I find them in doing works of mercy, in giving to the body of your injured brethren, for they are hungry, thirsty...slaves, in prisons, in hospitals. These are the wounds of Jesus in our day.”—Pope Francis

Elie Wiesel died 15 years ago today on 7/2 2016. He was determined that the world never forget what he was condemned to remember. (Below, in Buchenwald.) "There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest."

Now he will know some of the known unknowns. And probably a few unknown unknowns. And he will wish that he could send a messenger back to warn future war criminals, but he will be told, “They already have the law and the prophets. Let them listen to them.”

I was very moved by my conversation with Irish theologian Donal Dorr about his new @OrbisBooks title, "A Creed for Today: Faith and Commitment for Our New Earth Awareness." Very inspiring. Watch here: piped.video/F7RSi67vKkw via @YouTube
