Wow. I became so engrossed last month in Rod Dreher’s The Little Way of Ruthie Leming that I overrode my Metro stop one day! So this month, I’m going to be reading what in essence sounds like a sequel: How Dante Can Save Your Life: The Life-Changing Wisdom of History’s Greatest Poem. Rather than a study guide for Dante, the book tells of the spiritual and physical crisis Dreher experienced in the aftermath of a big decision he made after the death of his sister, Ruthie.

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.
