THE END of the present world....and the mysteries of the future life.By Father Charles Arminjon.

This was read by St. Therese. She claimed  it to be "one of the greatest graces of my life."
To board the struggle bus: no whining, board with a smile, a fake one will be found out and put off at next stop, no maps, no directions, going only one way, one destination. Follow all rules and you will arrive. Drop off at pearly gate. Bring nothing.

A Terrible Revenge: The Ethnic Cleansing of East European Germans, by Alfred-Maurice de Zayas.

A rather sobering book on the fate of millions of ethnic germans living in east european countries at the end of world war ii. Told mostly through first hand accounts it ranges from being raped multiple times, cruxifixions (stripping women naked and nailing them to barn doors was a favorite in Poland), strafing ice to weaken it when german refugees were crossing over it, death camps in the old Yugoslavia, and deportations to Russia as "reparations in kind."

Beverly Cleary's autobiography, A Girl From Yamhill. I first read it when I was a kid, living in Oregon myself. I don't like the new cover.  :(

About to finish, A Confederacy of Dunces
The world is charged with the grandeur of God.
    It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;
    It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil
Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?
Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;
    And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;
    And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil
Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;
    There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;
And though the last lights off the black West went
    Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs —
Because the Holy Ghost over the bent
    World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

Just finished reading The Inimitable Jeeves. Very funny!

Now reading Why I Became A Catholic by Cardinal Manning.

O Mary, Immaculate Mother of Jesus, offer, we beseech thee, to the Eternal Father, the Precious Blood of thy Divine Son to prevent at least one mortal sin from being committed somewhere in the world this day.

"When faced by our limitations, we must have recourse to the practice of offering to God the good works of others." - St Therese of Lisieux

The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes. I just discovered this, after thinking that I'd read all of them. So sad to know that there really aren't any more. :(

Yes!  :(
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

http://www.suscipedomine.com/forum/index.php?topic=12546.msg272111#msg272111  :toth: It was really good. I just wish I was able to internalize it, the way St. Thérèse did.
