Ten years ago on May 1 2013 my mother, Carol Cummings died. I thought of Blake's line, “We are put on earth for a little space, that we may learn to bear the beams of love." Sometimes we achieve that by our own efforts and sometimes by what is stripped away.

I highly recommend @GiveUsThisDayLP for daily prayer, inspiration and spiritual insight. And @RobertEllsberg’s essays reveal saints, both well known and, at least to me, sometimes not so well know and the blessed lives they had.
In the May issue of @GUTD my “Blessed Among Us” reflections include St Damien of Molokai, civil rights hero Unita Zelma Blackwell, CW co-founder Peter Maurin, historian Cyprian Davis, musician Mary Lou Williams, and more!

St Catherine of Siena (1380), Doctor of the Church, who challenged popes and monarchs to make peace, defend justice, and heal the wounds in the church. “Preach the Truth as if you had a million voices. It is silence that kills the world.”

Thanks to the Nautilus Awards! Two of my books tied for the same award (a first for me). Hope Sister Wendy and Dorothy are sharing a cup of tea.

I may not be in Rome when her canonization occurs. But I will be able to say I was on the inaugural voyage of the Dorothy Day Staten Island ferry.

On my way for the maiden voyage of the new Staten Island ferry, the #DorothyDay. For anyone wondering about the connection: SI is where Dorothy lived with the man she loved, where her daughter was born, where she found herself beginning to pray and decided to become a Catholic.
