why is she wearing shorts?
Oh nothing, just the face of the GOP saying that she wouldn’t take down a Hitler statue.

If by preaching he means "mansplaining," then of course women are manifestly unqualified. We don't need preachers who say "Does my collar make it seem that when you are listening to me you are hearing the voice of God?"
Women can’t preach because we need the truth when you’re listening to what matters for eternal salvation. We don’t need you to say “does my dress make me look fat”

Drawing on examples from Dorothy Day and St. Francis, to Oskar Schindler, Etty Hillesum, Oscar Romero and Sr. Dorothy Stang--I try to show how the Beatitudes call us to a new way, a different world, animated by different values, different priorities, different dreams.

Pope Francis calls the Beatitudes a Christian's "identity card." They are a portrait in miniature of Jesus himself, and the saints offer examples of what that means--going against the flow of a culture that prizes Greatness, Power, Status, and the logic of the market.

Each of these beatitudes--under certain circumstances--can lead to persecution. But if the Gospel asks us to relinquish some of the prizes and rewards of this world, the Beatitudes also point toward an alternative reward: Mercy, Comfort, the Kingdom of Heaven.

My father at 90–still leaking after all these years.
50 years ago next month, the NYT began publishing the Pentagon Papers, a seminal moment in the history of the Vietnam War and in leaks of Top Secret information. Its source, Daniel Ellsberg, has made another unauthorized disclosure. /1 nytimes.com/2021/05/22/us/po…

Today is the 6th anniversary of the beatification of Archbishop Oscar Romero, in a ceremony in San Salvador.
As the declaration of martyrdom was read out a rare solar halo appeared in the sky - as captured in these photos.
St Oscar Romero, pray for us.

There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs—
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

So grateful to @RevJohnDear for inviting me to lead a webinar on the Beatitudes and the Saints, and to @helenprejean for joining in to offer her wisdom. Between them we had the Peacemakers and those who Hunger for Righteousness covered. (Link to come.)
