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

Remember it like yesterday.
Pentagon Papers whistleblower @DanielEllsberg says his 10-yr-old daughter “was cutting ‘Top Secret’ off the top and bottoms of the pages with her scissors”, while his 13-yr-old son was “working the Xerox machine”, as part of his clandestine bid to lift the lid on the Vietnam War

“My work of the past 40 years to avert the prospects of nuclear war has little to show for it. But I wanted to say that I could think of no better way to use my time and that as I face the end of my life, I feel joy and gratitude.” nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opini…

never do enough to promote Black Lives Matters as a Right to Life mantra and a principle of Catholic social teaching, second to none. I have learned that living in denial of racism gives you a heart attack. Racism eats away the fabric of your self-esteem and fills you with rage.

Therefore you must take a stand and take action...It is foolhardy to assume that combatting racism will be a top priority in the church, equal to abortion. Yet I cannot give up the fight to push for racial equity and justice." Rest in Peace, Bishop! @OrbisBooks
