2Tm 4: 1-8; Ps 71: 8-9, 14-15, 16-17, 22; Mk 12: 38-44

Watch the latest "Dare to Love" episode, featuring our Sr. Belinda Monahan, OSB as the first guest in their “Ways to Pray Series". The series is based on an event Sr. Belinda did at Sheil Catholic Center at Northwestern, where she invited men and women religious (a Carmelite, a Franciscan, a Jesuit, a Dominican, etc.) to talk about a form of prayer that is key to their spirituality.
