The 14th Annual Commonweal Lecture - Robert Ellsberg from Orbis Press, “Walking with the Saints: My writing Life”.

Through many books on "saints, prophets, and witnesses" for our time (from St. Francis to Dorothy Day), as well as his daily reflections for Give Us This Day, Robert Ellsberg has helped expand the conception of holiness and the meaning of saints. In this lecture he will reflect on his life and work as a "saint-watcher," how this came to shape his own vocation and spiritual discipline, and what he hopes it might achieve.
