I often wonder if people notice this: the one on the left is from the first printing, the one on the right from the second printing, for which they used a different paper resulting in a book about 1/4 inch thinner.

My daughter, Catherine, was just named one of the 100 Greatest Women swimmers of all times! Allow, if you will, just a little boasting.

Nov 10 1943, 4 Christians—3 Catholic priests and a Lutheran minister from Lübeck were beheaded by the Nazis on charges of defeatism and favoring the enemy. At a time when ecumenical dialogue was unusual the 4 had formed a deep friendship on their shared opposition to the Nazis.

Yes. Thank you @gloria_purvis for this demystification.
My understanding of social justice, wokeness, id politics, & intersectionality come out of the long standing racial justice movement that began when the 1st enslaved Africans resisted in the colonies. These words have a positive meaning in the context of the Blk experience. 1/

“Love must be tried and tested and proved. It must be tried as though by fire. And fire burns.”
Thank you @RobertEllsberg for your work in bringing Dorothy Day’s work to light for so many. This collection, her other writings, and the Catholic Worker have deeply impacted my life.

FD St Eliz. of the Trinity: "We carry our heaven within ourselves, because he who satisfied the saints with the light of vision gives himself to us in faith and in mystery. It's the same thing. I feel I have found heaven on earth, because heaven is God and God is in my soul."

Charles de Foucauld, who lived among Muslims in Algeria, will be declared a saint next year. I appreciate this piece about him because it shines a light on both what we should admire and what we should avoid in his approach to interreligious encounter. uscatholic.org/articles/2019…

Wonderful news about my favorite saint, Charles de Foucauld. Also one of Dorothy Day’s. (Photo she gave me with her inscription on the back)
Blessed Charles de Foucauld and six other "blessed"s will be canonized on May 15, 2022.

Like Malcolm X and many before her, @mtgreenee has an experience in jail and discovers the Nation of Islam.
10. Louis Farrakhan says that forcing the vaccine is a “declaration of war.”
That is how strongly the Nation of Islam opposes @JoeBiden’s vaccine mandates that force unvaccinated people to lose their jobs.

Dorothy Day, b Nov 8 1897. “I have said, sometimes flippantly, that the mass of bourgeois smug Christians who denied Christ in His poor made me turn to Communism, and that it was the Communists and working with them that made me turn to God.” (Photo Richard Avedon)

Even after her conversion, she continued to see the spirit of Christ in all who worked for social justice and who loved the poor and oppressed, even if they did not know his name. From her book “From Union Square to Rome (@OrbisBooks):

Beguine mystic Mechtild of Magdeburg (1282) didn’t pull her punches: “Alas, crown of holy priesthood, you have disappeared, and you have nothing left but your external shape—namely, priestly power—with this you do battle against God and His chosen friends. . . .
