When Jonathan Webb and I approached the Catholic Church as thirty-something post-Protestant outcasts nearly two decades ago, it was a fine twist of grace–or at least a bit of good luck–that Fr. Michael Sweeney, O.P., was the priest that met us at the door. He himself was standing outside the door, taking a smoke break. Now Fr. Sweeney is President of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology (DSPT) at the Graduate Theological Union in Berkeley. Check out his Lenten reflections.

A powerful insight from Father; thanks very much for sharing this.

Interesting anecdote, too, from what we must pray will someday be the hagiography of Saints Jonathan Webb and Jonathan Potter.

Thirtysomethings almost two decades ago makes you …
Wise. As is Fr Sweeney in this reflection … Thanks!
