Chiquitunga Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 (edited) [quote name='Totus Tuus' post='538249' date='Mar 1 2005, 09:42 PM'] I don't want to start a new thread for this, but I want to know you guys' opinion on this if you've read the Diary of St. Faustina... It seems like almost everyone Faustina lived with in the convent was so cruel and proud. There were so few exceptions. Do you think that God was working through them to humble Faustina, or were they really not striving for holiness? I'm only about 1/3 of the way through, so I don't know if this is answered later in the book or not. What's your opinion? [/quote] hmm... I think a little of both .. very interesting observation. In [i]The Way of Divine Love[/i] by Sr. Josefa Menendez, which I'm recommending highly here, actually she did not really have these trials from her sisters like St. Faustina. Her trials were much more only spiritual - St. Faustina really had both! Edited December 3, 2006 by Margaret Clare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totus Tuus Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 Transformation in Christ, by Deitrich Von Hildebrand. Excellent book; has been compared to a modern-day Imitation of Chris, though much larger and more philosophically-minded. It is a good book for discernment.

BurkeFan Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 For anyone considering the Order of Preachers: St. Dominic: The Grace of the Word by Fr. Guy Bedouelle, OP is a good read, though it's hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendan1104 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I read it last month, it was more of the early life and history of the order, than a life of Dominic though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiscerningSoul Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 How about: The true spouse of Jesus Christ by St.Alphonsus De Liguori It's like a manual on how to be a Nun and Saint. I highly recommend that you re-read it alot, you always find you understand it better or find things you missed. It's a very deep and well over 700 pages long. You can buy it thru TAN books.
