It’s been eight months since I’ve written anything, as I’ve been particularly busy with work and family life. Also, these last couple of months, I’ve been reading quite a lot. After several years of owning a copy, I have been reading The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis. This book seems to be an excellent introduction to the mystical (as opposed to the intellectual) side of Catholicism. I find that this book increases faith and fervor more than any catechism or purely philisophical work (like the Summa Theologica) ever could. I am also reading a few other books: Divine Mercy in My Soul – the diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Way by St. Josemaria Escriva, and lastly, The Soul of the Apostolate by Jean-Baptiste Chautard, O.C.S.O.
It looks like I’ve got my plate pretty full for now!
