A Lenten Exploration of the Gospel of Non-Violence and the Political and Religious implications of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

For today’s episode of JustLove, we discuss the Lenten Practices such as Prayer, Fasting, and Almsgiving with the Associate Editor of America Magazine Colleen Dulle. She tells us about an online Lenten Series sponsored by the Casa Esther Catholic Worker, where they explore the Gospel of non-violence. The second segment of our show will feature the Ukrainian-born Chair of Theology and Philosophy at the University of Saint Thomas, Dr. Paul Gavrilyuk, who leads us through the political and religious ramifications of the Russian invasion of his home country.

Colleen Dulle is the Associate Editor of America Magazine and the co-host of the publication’s “Inside the Vatican” podcast. She talks about being a participant in an online Lenten series sponsored by the Casa Esther Catholic Worker, taking place in the evenings for the six weeks of Lent.

Dr. Paul Gavrilyuk, who was born in Kyiv, joins our call to talk about the ongoing impact of the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine beginning on February 24th.
