One of the great graces of the Synod, and a gift to the church, was the method of "Conversations in the Spirit," which not only promotes real listening but doesn't paper over differences or force a false consensus. Here's a brief description of what that is. | Fr. James Martin, SJ

On Ash Wednesday, I’m honored to offer the first reflection for the Ignatian Solidarity Network's Lenten series, Take Heart. Inspired by scripture’s call to “take heart,” thoughtful authors across the Catholic network will explore how God gives us the courage to meet the world's hard-heartedness with tenderness. I invite you to journey with me as we allow our hearts to be disarmed and transformed, bringing more peace and compassion into our world. You can listen to my whole reflection by subscri

And also how closely, almost perfectly, this mirrors their portrayals in another famous story in Luke's Gospel. Much more about Martha and Mary in "Come Forth," forthcoming on Sept. 5. https://www.harpercollins.com/products/come-forth-james-martin?variant=40440856936482 | Fr. James Martin, SJ
