Peace! This year Sr. Alicia had a chance to contribute two essays to First Things‘ blog, First Thoughts! This was certainly a a tremendous blessing for her, as one of her mentors and spiritual fathers, Fr. Ed Oakes, S.J., who passed away on December 6, 2013, was a regular contributor and enthusiast of First Things. You can read Sisters’ essay on Fr. Jacques Hamel who was martyred in France by clicking here, and her reflections on food and theology by clicking here!
