St Patrick’s day is celebrated as an occasion of Irish pride. But his first introduction to Ireland was involuntary. At 16 he was kidnapped from his village in Britain by Irish raiders and taken to Ireland as a slave. “I was chastened exceedingly and humbled every day in hunger.”

Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian farmer who was beheaded by the Nazis in 1943 for refusing to take a military oath to Hitler, was beatified in 2007. The faith and courage of his wife Franziska, who died 3/16/2013, also deserves memory. My reflection in @GiveUsThisDayLP

Enjoyed this conversation about my relationship with Sister Wendy Beckett, and the book that followed, *Dearest Sister Wendy*. @OrbisBooks The best parts: how to engage with the world from a contemplative perspective, and how art can train us to see life with eyes of the heart.

The Oscar-winning film "Everything, Everywhere..." posits a multiverse consisting of different universes set in motion by our differing choices or the choices made by others. I thought of Dorothy Day whose life course was changed by the refusal of Forster Batterham to marry her.

Yes. And I met him before. He used to frame prints of art work to send to Dorothy. Once I was delegated to pick up some of those gifts.

I know there will be many more tributes in the future, but this one, from Vietnam anti-war poet W.D. Erhardt is particularly moving. "Dan Ellsberg: A Personal Reflection" laprogressive.com/war-and-pe…

My own life, among many other things, owes so much to the universe set in motion by Forster's stubborn faithfulness to his principles.
