And yes St. Faustina's Diary is a great book to read too [/quote] "Peter on the Shore" is by Fr. Anthony Bannon, LC. It was great. I liked St. Fautina's diary as well. also (as has been mentioned) Abandonment to Divine Providence, Imitation of Christ, Story of a Soul. Two more -- When God Asks for an Undivided Heart: Choosing Celibacy in Love and Freedom, Fr. Andrew Apostoli, CFR ... MUST READ. "What does God Want" Fr. Michael Scanlan, TOR. Was good. This is a good book for *any* discernment, not just religious life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
