There's a lot to be found in the two new clicks this e-mail brings.
March is Women's History Month, and Sr. Dianna Ortiz OSU, EFJ's associate director, has created a calendar that tells the tales of 31 remarkable women who have dedicated their lives to work for peace and justice. Many toil quietly. Others have won the Nobel Prize. Rachel Corrie, above, gave her young life for others. The interactive resource is easy to use, with a grid that jumps straight to their stories, plus quotes, prayers, reflection questions and links to videos that will help you explore more! It will be a March to remember!
Many have expressed anxiety over the violence in Ukraine. If you're unsure how to pray or what to say, consider our new prayer. It also provides a couple of solidarity suggestions.
Stay tuned for our resource tying the themes of Lent to the wisdom of Pope Francis' Evangelii Gaudium.
