So very human: Making an e-book of Mother Theodore’s words
...so. I know Mother Theodore wasn’t writing to ME in her journals and letters, but it sort of feels like we’ve been pen pals the last few years. In the process of making this e-book off and on between other projects, I’ve spent so much time with her words that they feel like old friends.

A Reflection for the Feast of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin
...for Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Why have these images of Anne-Therese’s childhood so haunted me these last few months? It seems everywhere I turn these days, I see people struggling to find hope in the midst of sorrow and low. I see the faces of immigrant children being held in detention centers.
