Here’s a terrific segment from a recent 60 Minutes program about Fr. Rick Curry, SJ, and his unique theater program for the physically disabled. I love Curry’s answer to Steve Kroft’s question, “Is it better to be abled or disabled?” (If you can’t see the video, click here.) Share or bookmark this post:

Let’s take a moment in IgnatiusFest to think about the men who first followed Ignatius. We wouldn’t be here without Ignatius, but we wouldn’t be here without the first companions either. They were a handful of students who met Ignatius at the University of Paris. They made the bold decision to join their lives together [...]

Conan O’Brien gave a wonderful commencement address last month at Dartmouth College. He’s very funny for the first 17 minutes or so. Then he turns serious. “There are few things in life more liberating than having your worst fear realized,” he says. It is our failure to become our perceived ideal that ultimately defines us [...]
