Missionaries without Boats

An Introduction to Madeleine Delbrêl

In this week’s episode, Fr. John and Fr. CJ welcome Andrea Polito - long-time friend (and notable mention) of the podcast. Interviewing her on the topic of her dissertation, Andrea provides an introduction to the French consecrated woman and ecclesial writer Madeleine Delbrêl. With specific focus to the mission of the laity in the contemporary world, Madeleine is revealed to be a model not just in her own milieu - but likewise for the present moment in which we find ourselves.
