The lost coin by Marian Honors, C.S.J.
For me, Sundays are not only a day for Mass and extended prayer but one of rest from social media. Rather than posting anything remotely controversial, I try to share more irenic fare online. So on Sundays I usually post two reflections on social media. The first is from The Jesuit Post, a sister site of America Media, which offers short and punchy “One-Minute Homilies” from younger Jesuits. (Technically speaking, they are not homilies since they are not done in the context of a Mass, nor are some of the Jesuits ordained; they are instead reflections.)

Esther Peterson isn’t a household name like Susan B. Anthony or Rosa Parks, but she should be.
A one-time teacher and union organizer, Peterson served as the highest-ranking woman in John F. Kennedy’s White House and established the President’s Commission on the Status of Women. She was the driving force behind the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and an eloquent, effective advocate for expanded social security and decent, better-paying jobs for all.
In later years, Peterson became a leading voice for consumers and a staunch proponent of truth in advertising. That sell-by date on your milk and those nutrition facts on your cereal? You can thank her for those.
