Fr. Barron on Flannery O'Connor

“One of the greatest disciples of the twentieth century was neither a priest, nor a religious, nor a married person. She was a celibate, single woman who spent the last 13 years of her life battling lupus while writing some of the best fiction the world has ever known - all while living on a 455-acre dairy farm in Milledgeville, Ga. with her mother, her books, and forty-four peacocks. Her name was Flannery O’Connor.”

In a recent commentary, Father Robert Barron reflect on the life of Flannery O'Connor, a famous writer who was also a devout and inspirational Catholic.
