Franciscan friar Daniel P. Horan, OFM, a doctoral student in BC’s Theology Department, has written an essay for America magazine in which he urges fellow Catholics to commit “to rethinking the role of water in our lives, paying special attention to how we use and abuse it. In turn, we might reconsider our practices and discover ways we can become better sisters and brothers to one another and the planet.” Fr. Dan is the author of The Last Words of Jesus: A Meditation on Love and Suffering, Francis of Assisi and the Future of Faith: Exploring Franciscan Spirituality and Theology in the Modern World, and Dating God: Live and Love in the Way of St. Francis.
