Listened again to my @messyjesusbiz conversation with @juliafspa. About #DorothyDay, my life as a "saint watcher," my correspondence with #SrWendyBeckett, vocation and the power of living witness. If this was my last message I wouldn't be unhappy. bit.ly/3FRxED1

Nothing like it! Tuesday on @PBS: the premiere of "The Movement and the 'Madman,'" a film on the most effective mass protest action during the Vietnam War, perhaps any war. It stopped Nixon’s secret plan to initiate nuclear attacks on North Vietnam. A must-see.
Discover the story of the 1969 showdown between President Nixon and the antiwar movement.
“The Movement and the ‘Madman’” premieres Tue, March 28 at 9/8c on @AmExperiencePBS.

All the young activists rising up give me hope as I leave my life. As the movement against the Vietnam War showed, young people can save lives when they make their care known in action. Keep going. The world is in your hands. cnn.com/videos/tv/2023/03/23…

Fritz Eichenberg created this image of the Annunciation for the cover of Dorothy Day’s “The Long Loneliness.” We see an already pregnant Mary, evidently asleep, while an angel whispers in her ear. Meanwhile, a winding road leads to Mt Calvary, where 3 crosses are waiting.

Happy feast of St. Oscar Romero! This photo was taken in San Salvador during Romero’s beatification Mass, May 23, 2015. The people took the sun halo as a sign of God’s confirmation of the martyr’s sanctity.
¡San Oscar, ruega por nosotros!

Remember it like yesterday.
Pentagon Papers whistleblower @DanielEllsberg says his 10-yr-old daughter “was cutting ‘Top Secret’ off the top and bottoms of the pages with her scissors”, while his 13-yr-old son was “working the Xerox machine”, as part of his clandestine bid to lift the lid on the Vietnam War

I asked Vietnam War whistleblower @DanielEllsberg how he reckoned with the risks he was taking in pursuit of patriotism: “We were in a war in which people were dying every day by [the] hundreds”, he tells me. “That didn’t seem a hard choice to make.”

“My work of the past 40 years to avert the prospects of nuclear war has little to show for it. But I wanted to say that I could think of no better way to use my time and that as I face the end of my life, I feel joy and gratitude.” nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opini…

Bishop Fernand Cheri III, OFM, Aux. Bishop of New Orleans, a prophetic champion of racial justice, joins the ancestors. See his afterword to Ansel Augustine's "Leveling the Praying Field." "Systemic racism is an immoral monster...The immoral monster lives in us, but so does...

never do enough to promote Black Lives Matters as a Right to Life mantra and a principle of Catholic social teaching, second to none. I have learned that living in denial of racism gives you a heart attack. Racism eats away the fabric of your self-esteem and fills you with rage.

...the revolutionary love of Jesus Christ. Child of God, where do you stand? Is it in solidarity with the church on the margins, or do you hold them in contempt?...I must confess that I am still learning the scope of racism in society and in the church...I confess that I can...

Therefore you must take a stand and take action...It is foolhardy to assume that combatting racism will be a top priority in the church, equal to abortion. Yet I cannot give up the fight to push for racial equity and justice." Rest in Peace, Bishop! @OrbisBooks
