Good afternoon my friends,
I am rather new to this forum, but in responding to a thoughtful response to one of my posts, I realized how much Catholic thought has informed my spirituality.
In college I majored in medieval studies, so Augustine, Bede, VonHildebrande, etc.. are old friends.
However, Thomas Merton has been and is a continual touchstone for me.
I was wondering if you nice Cathlolic friends could recomend some of your favorites?
To get this started, I am going to plug one of my favorite books, 'An Infinity of Little Hours' It is a documentary book about the Carthusian order, but I challenge you to read it without the book having a spiritual effect.
I look forward to your suggestions.
Yours, JB
