Jesuit Father Edward Dowling died April 3 1960. Among his many ministries he served as a spiritual advisor to Bill W, co-founded of A.A who called him “The greatest human soul that I’m sure I shall ever know.” My reflection in @GiveUsThisDayLP
It was not simply the indignity of fingerprinting that troubled the master. Would the police use the occasion to mock the size of his hands or attempt to read his palms? And would an application of bleach eliminate all traces of blood? #TolstoysTalesofTrump
Richard Nixon committed treason and got American soldiers killed by getting North Vietnam to stall the peace talks so he could win the 1968 election and @MonicaCrowley later went to work for him.
Eric Trump: I went to Duane Reade the other day. And literally you can’t buy Advil in Duane Reade without having someone come up with a key and unlock the little plastic thing
Eric Trump: I went into literally CVS yesterday and you can’t buy Tylenol because it’s locked behind these glass counters… but yet their attention is going after Donald Trump
Dante depicted this scene in one of the circles of hell: dude has massive headache but all the Tylenol is locked behind plastic barriers. And there is literally NO KEY. 😱
April issue of @GiveUsThisDayLP My Blessed Among Us include Edward Dowling SJ, Martin Luther King Jr, Teilhard de Chardin, Rachel Carson, James Cone, St Catherine of Siena, and many more.
Whenever he envisioned his arrest the master had imagined it would be for something HUGE like seizing the telegraph exchange or sacking Rome—surely not for public urination. Still, it would burnish his image as a martyr and disruptor of the status quo. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
Orthodox St and martyr Maria Skobstova died in Ravensbruk camp on 3/31 1945. My reflections in @GiveUsThisDayLP “At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises… I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry…visit the prisoners?”
