The great feast of All Saints is this Saturday and to celebrate we are featuring two books this #terrificbooktuesday - "Blessed Among Us: Day by Day with Saintly Witnesses" Volumes 1 and 2 by Robert Ellsberg. Of course, lots of our favourite Carmelites are included!
Perhaps these words from St Elizabeth of the Trinity are just what your soul needs to hear and believe as we begin this new week...
Here's a book that participants in the Carmelite Spirit Silent Online Book Club are currently devouring: "'Do Not Judge Anyone': Desert Wisdom for a Polarized World". The book is by the Cistercian monk Isaac Slater and speaks straight to the soul. #terrificbooktuesday
