We all know of people whose lives inspire us by their courage, generosity, imagination or brilliance.
People who encourage us to live better, more fulfilled lives. Christian churches either informally, or formally present us with inspiring people that they call ‘saints’.
Over Lent, the Lives to Inspire retreat from the Scottish Jesuits will focus on 40 people, some canonized 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.
