VeraMaria Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 and The Secret of the Rosary by St. Louis de Montfort are two of my faves. THE SECRET OF THE ROSARY IS amesome!!!!!!!!!!!!! and also st. louis de montford's TRUE DEVOTION TO MARY. oh, and of course, STORY OF A SOUL, by St. Therese!!!! "Imitation of Christ" is a classic, but i can only read one paragraph a day or so, it's too thught-provoking, deep, intense, call it what u will... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
