Dominican Spirituality: Principles and Practice    - Fr. William Hinnebusch
Nice!

Sent from my STV100-1 using Tapatalk

Oh Kaes, my head, heart and soul are reeling with Dominicana!   Then I attended my first 3rd Order meeting today, and feel on fire.   Literally, within a matter of days, the entirety of my spirituality is changed.

Glad to hear it!  St Dominic, pray for us!

A book about venerable Solanus Casey. Needs one more miracle for canonization.
Which one?

Bede's Ecclesiastical History

I love that book!  I love the exchange between St. Gregory the Great and St. Augustine of Canterbury.  St. Gregory the great is amazing.  His teachings regarding marriage issues are so right.

I am reading "The monastic world" by Christopher Brooke.  It is a book with a lot of big pictures(those are keepers) discussing the various monastic movements throughout history in chronological order.  I am currently at the premonstratensians. 

I am also reading a book called "all the plants of the bible" by walker.  It is a pleasant little book.  It has a quality colored art drawing of each plant drawn by the author of the book, with the scriptural quote from the bible regarding the plant, and a paragraph text discussing the plant's influence in relation.  I have been feeling good while reading it.  It was 50 cents from the library, so I figured I couldn't go wrong.

And, lastly, I am re reading for the second time in the past few months Thomas Aquinas' Catechetical Instructions.


Nice find!  My kids and I are studying botany this year in science, and ancient history in history.  I'm going to look this one up; sounds like it would scaffold our studies quite well.

Botany is fascinating.  I find it fascinating from a linguistic perspective.  Because, if you ask me, many words seem to find their origin in plants.

I'm currently reading Holy Scripture (Douay Rheims), the Catechism of St. Pius X and Lives of Saints Selected and Illustrated.
Which book on Saint are you reading?
? :-)

The Story of a Family: The Home of St. Therese of Lisieux, by Fr. Stephane Piat. I've read it before, but this time I'm listening to it on my Kindle Fire. Still excellent. Now all I need is The Last Conversations and my kindle collection of books on St. Therese will be complete. :)

Romeo and Juliet
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.

"Sociology of Mental Disorder" by William Cockburn.

Interesting to know that the first "mental hospital" was founded by a Catholic priest. You learn something new every day.  :)
