I have read a lot of things of Pope Francis.
But I want to be familiar with the work of JPII.I found his work is much more serious than Of Pope Francis.
Currently I am Reading the Biography of Saint Leopold Bogdan Mandić.
I am currently reading Western Culture Today and Tomorrow: Addressing the Fundamental Issues by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. It’s a compilation of his many talks and writings on the subject.
I read my New American Bible every morning.
I just finished a wonderful book called THE HIDDEN POWER OF KINDNESS by Lawrence G. Lovasik. One of the chapters titled Learn to avoid speaking unkindly, is a good chapter about gossip and how it hurts others, and how silence is the language of God. A “good” advice book!
I am currently reading Psychology for Dummies bu Adam Cash, PsyD.
I never read novels.
I must state that my favorite book of all, besides my Bible, is titled FOR THE LOVE OF OLD by Mary Randolph Carter. It is about old stuff which I cherish…antiques! Old dishes, furniture, Rosaries, pictures. I have some McCoy vases that are old and well made.
Prayer for the Grace to become a Priest
O Lord Jesus Christ,
the great High Priest,
who dost call chosen souls to offer Thee in sacrifice
and to assist Thee in saving souls,
I beseech Thee to grant me this high grace
though I am most unworthy of it;
make me carefully to prepare my heart to receive it
and to keep myself pure and lowly
that Thou mayest call me to serve Thee at Thine altar.
I found this wonderful prayer and prayed this for the 1st time to our lord
I have just finished “To save a thousand souls” and just can’t believe how great this book. It answers all your Discernment questions and helps with all the stages. If you know any other good books for me to read as I going through my Discernment this would be most helpful
