Joni Mitchell’s BLUE is 50 yrs old. I listened to that album over and over and it helped me grow up that summer. Not for the last time. via @NYTimes nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

Happy Father's Day The courage and integrity your father demonstrated is a reminder to all of us now. The books you compiled on the diaries and letters of Dorothy Day introduced me to her and the Worker. That has blessed me beyond measure. Thank you🕊️

You can ONLY subscribe to the print edition. It is not online. 36 E 1st St NY NY 10003. Still at the inflation-proof cost of 25 cents a year. (Donations welcome!)

Feast of St Alban, first martyr of Britain (3rd cen). He gave shelter to a fugitive priest who was being pursued by Roman soldiers. Moved by the faith of his guest, he exchanged clothes with the priest and was arrested in his place. He was flogged and beheaded.

A sign of things to come: Last Dec the doctrinal committee of the USCCB issued a guide to evaluating hymns on basis of doctrinal content. An example of a hymn that offends Eucharistic doctrine was “All Are Welcome.”

Dorothy Day, 1970: “Kaunda and Nyerere in Africa stand in my mind with Chavez, Helder Camara, Coretta King, and others who have the vision and the integrity which enlightens our minds and brings us bright hope for the future. God is with them. May He bless and protect them.”

Remembering this column: “Because Trump is evidently a psychopath his embrace of the “pro-life” banner had the effect of degrading the meaning of the term, while also degrading the moral authority of anyone who welcomed his alliance.” An Inauguration sacredheartuniversity.typepa…

“Pope Francis has made it clear that concern for refugees, opposition to the death penalty, and care for the earth are inseparable from the church’s commitment to life. And yet if that teaching was lost on many American Catholics, who bore the blame for that confusion?”—

On June 17 2015 a young white supremacist interrupted a Bible study at "Mother Emanuel" AME Church in Charleston, SC and killed 9 African American members of the church including pastor Clementa Pinckney. "I'll give you something to pray about," he said. Never forget.
