For writers in religious life, putting pen to paper is their way to give witness to the Word.
F
rancis de sales, patron saint of writers, said that “it is love that gives value to our works.” Love is what draws us to our chosen craft and serves as the catalyst for the creative process. For sisters, brothers, and priests who choose to write, love is also what sustains them in their vocation to God and the writing life. This year’s VISION spotlight showcases men and women religious artists whose chosen medium is words—in the form of poetry, essays, reflections, biographies, and other genres.
