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."

Awesome! Did you download it from here? :)

Where can I download it from?

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.
Thanks B!

What is Art? and Other Essays on Art by Leo Tolstoy

Tolstoy and Ruskin are the most sensible and sensitive authors on art I've run across.

A Cánticle for Leibowitz
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.

Hmmmm....on the waiting list for that from the library
For a Child is born to us, and a son is given to us, and the government is upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called, Wonderful, Counsellor, God the Mighty, the Father of the world to come, the Prince of Peace

Just finished reading The Inimitable Jeeves. Very funny!

I'm a PG Wodehouse/ Jeeves & Wooster addict ... I think I've read most of them. I haven't seen many of the videos, just the books. I think they are hilarious.
[Matthew 8:26]  And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith? Then rising up he commanded the winds, and the sea, and there came a great calm.

[Job  38:1-5]  Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said: [2] Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words? [3] Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me. [4] Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding. [5] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

Jesus, Mary, I love Thee! Save souls!

The Fry & Laurie series is really good. Quite a few liberties are taken with the stories, but it's still hilarious.

I'm now reading The Everlasting Man, by G K Chesterton.

Right now I'm trying to finish a number of books I started over the last year or so.  Little catechism of cute dars, soul of apostolate, the council in question.  Then to finish some memoirs by a dominican missionary in western Wisconsin.
