I, too, love learning about Christian heroes of the past. I’ll look forward to meeting Thomas Merton and Dorothy Day!

wow just looked that book up on amazon. It was published in 1950 – that must be a classic ( great year to be born too) Now I see you did write that in your comment but I missed it. You have me curious to get it. Thanks for the tip.

Wasn’t that a good quote. I liked it too. Those shorter one stick with you. Thanks for commenting, Amanda!

Don’t you love Merton! The spiritual formation class I am taking this year is featuring him at the end of the month. Can’t wait. I think I will feature him in the near future for the Tending the Holy Thursdays person of the month. Been trying to do one person about every other month. Want to discuss Dorothy Day next so Merton may follow. Didn’t know about that book by stockman. Will check it out. Thanks.

I know since the first of the year, Martha, I too have been more focused on my prayers so I know just what you mean. That one tick at a time really resonated with me too. Hope you are having a terrific week, Martha!!

inch by inch really struck me too, Ceil. At first I would say I am not a worrier since I know some people who excel at that BUT to be honest I worry much more than I care to admit. What book on peace are you reading? I have been drawn lately to justice readings. Am thinking of doing one of my Tending the Thursdays series on that. Peace would be another good topic to delve into in a future month.

That line really struck me too. Pun intended!. I think these list posts are fun and easy to read. You can skim them and still learn something new. Fun to write too aren’t they? Hope you are having a blessed week!
