I'm honored to announce that Father James Martin, S.J., author of My Life with the Saints, will be making The Dawn Patrol a stop on his blog tour June 4. He'll be parking himself in the comments section on that day, ready to respond to readers, so get your questions ready. His publisher, Loyola Press, will also be offering a raffle of an autographed hardcover copy of My Life with the Saints and a special discount for those wishing to purchase the book.
Since June 26 is the feast day of St. Josemaria Escriva, I'll be starting the conversation with Father Martin with this quote from St. Josemaria, asking his thoughts on both how the quote reflects the spirituality of the founder of Opus Dei and how it might apply to the saints he describes in his book:
"The world admires only spectacular sacrifice, because it does not realize the value of sacrifice that is hidden and silent."
