I’m reading Thomas Merton’s “Seven Storey Mountain.”
Oh, you should talk to Duffy and Father Jack! They are all about that book!
I am reading The Holy Longing by Ronald Rohlheiser and Jesus: a Pulgrimage by Fr Martin.
Hi Jean! Let me know what you think of Jesus: A Pilgrimage… it’s been on my list for a while.
