Inspired by the lives of Francis of Assisi, Clare of Assisi, Oscar Romero and Dorothy Day, Gillian will Reflect on the spiritual practices that anchored their lives and gave them strength for the journey. By remembering how people before us experienced the call to love in a needy world, we will find courage and wisdom for today.
