No notes this week, but I do have a few things for you. If you weren't able to make it today, we spent quite a bit of time trying to define pride and humility. This evening I did some searching on the Internet and found an article on this subject that I think everyone will enjoy. It is written from the perspective of a Catholic mom. Let me know what you think of it. Maybe we can talk about it the next time that we get together.
Cultivating Humility
If that doesn't do it for you, maybe you'll like this:
Litany of Humility
I also thought that I would make a list of the suggested books that we could consider for our summer read. If you click on the picture of each book, it should take you to Amazon. You can read the descriptions and reviews on that site to help you decide. We'll make a decision soon.
1. In This House of Brede by Rumer Godden (Fiction)
I'm reading this novel right now, and enjoying it very much. It's interesting getting an inside view into a convent. It's a light read with well developed characters whose stories unfold slowly. Definitely a Catholic chick novel.
2. Joan of Arc by Mark Twain (Fiction)
3. Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles by Raymond Arroyo (Nonfiction)
4. The Way of a Pilgrim by Helen Bacovcin (Nonfiction)
5. Silence by Shusaku Endo (Fiction)
