Now that you've read and reflected on one of her short stories and you've heard Bishop Barron's commentary on how she is a "Pivotal Player" in the Church, what do you think about Flannery?

What have you learned from her that you can apply to your own life?

flannery is very symbolic she doesn't just right out talk about the faith but puts it in her stories for people to interpret

# data[].attributes.body
I think she is inspiring and a very good author. I like how she incorporates the Catholic faith into a story to make it more interesting and hopefully capture people's attention and draw it closer to God. I learned from her to try and look for signs from God even if they are not super obvious.

I think Barron's description and explanation of her being a "Pivotal Player" in Catholicism says a lot about her. She uses her writing to highlight the works of grace and God. She is also compared to being a prophet, which I thinks is a real testimony to how she was as a person. I have learned from her that God's love usually interrupts our lives in almost a fearful, violent way. But this love should not be feared, but used as a Revelation. I also learned that the self-righteous and sinners who acknowledge their wrong doings will walk into heaven, despite their past sins. I can apply these concepts to how I live my life and behave.

O'Connor is a complex person who revealed things that are troubling in society. She used stone-cold theology in her writing, which really touches people. She is not afraid to confront hard topics, and uses her stories to convey deep spiritual truths. I learned that one should not act self-righteous, but instead acknowledge that they are not perfect and need God's grace. I will try to implement this teaching into my life and remember that everyone is God's creation.

What I think of Flannery is she is a very good and powerful writer. Also that she works in the catholic teachings but they are not overwhelming in the story they are subtle but you still get the importance of them. what I learned from her is that illness can't stop you from doing what you love.

What I learned from Bishop Barron's is that she was very strong hearted. The Bishop also ranked her up with some the great teachers of the faith, which was very interesting. I can apply her joy and how she is so grateful for everything.

Flannery had a unique way of writing which showed elements of faith, for readers to interpret. I think she was an excellent writer but some of her stories were very weird in the plot and characters. I learned that there can be evidence of faith in anything if you choose to see it.

She was a very talented author and her stories are usually symbolic. She also persevered through her sickness, which I can apply to my life because I can try to persevere through hardships too

She wrote good stories that had symbolic meanings in them. She kept writing her stories and living through her illness which made her stronger I learned that I should look for God in everything.

Flannery is a very talented and inspiring person because of the troubles and pain she went through while continuing to write. She was suffering from a chronic illness however she could always use comedy in her stories. Her view on life was very optimistic and shows her trust in God and faith in the truth.

I think the Flannery is a very inspiring and influential author. I find it fascinating how she incorporates faith into her works while still showing people's capability of evil. I learned from her that I can look deeper for God in everything, even the things that are not obvious.

I think Flannery is a very smart individual who uses many images and metaphors to convey certain catholic principles often forgotten in each advancing generation. She taught me to take a deeper look and contextualization into scripture to find true catholic principles.

Flannery was a great author who wrote about life, God, humanity, and spiritual truths in a way that distributed them not only to the Christian community but also the secular community. I have learned how she used her faith in her writing to share her faith with the world. I can apply this to my own life through sharing my faith with others like she did through her writing.

From what Bishop Barron had to say, I can see how important Flannery is to the Church. I learned through her short story that it isn't difficult to use symbolism in life. One can see good, and bad through the faith in daily life through symbolism.

She has an impact on many other people. She was a good author that was very observant and wrote in depth. One thing I learned from her is how fait can be tied into anything, and I can do that as well.

Flannery was an amazing author who wrote about God and humanity and wrote it so so that not only Christians would understand it, but so that everyone outside Christianity could understand. I learned how she expresses her faith and emotions in her writing. I can apply this to my life by expressing my faith and emotions to others through different sources.
