“Your life as a Christian should make non-believers question their disbelief in God.”
These words were written by Lutheran pastor, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, martyred for his faith in Nazi Germany.
We all know of people whose lives inspire us by their courage, generosity, imagination or brilliance.
Over Lent, the Lives to Inspire retreat from the Scottish Jesuits will focus on 40 people, some canonised saints, others renowned for their lives of love and public service.
The range is diverse – including Francis of Assisi, Dorothy Day, Nelson Mandela, Elizabeth Ann Seton, St Brendan the Navigator, Hildegard of Bingen and many more.
Each reflection is accompanied by a passage of Scripture, a piece of music and a thought-provoking image.
