I would also recommend Dr. Dietrich von Hildebrand's Transformation in Christ. It is so full of insights that I have re-read it numerous times.<BR/><BR/>Sanctus, what can I say but that you are not far from the kingdom of God sister. <BR/><BR/>Thanks all for the comments.

In doing so we acknowledge the Truth - which is God who is all powerful, all wise and all knowing. In living the truth of our nothingness, we allow more room for God to act through us - not of our own, but of Him. One can soar the heights of joy in this simplicity, this perfect jewel which is being nothing - knowing you are nothing! God stoops to such a soul!Sanctus Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06189142564821094716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-141820586967262302008-12-10T14:26:00.000-08:002008-12-10T14:26:00.000-08:00Thomas A' Kempis said that: "A humble knowledge of...Thomas A' Kempis said that: "A humble knowledge of ourselves is a surer way to God than is the search for depth of learning."<BR/><BR/>I recommend his Imitation of Christ for anyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9695096.post-43750494634835708532008-12-10T12:08:00.000-08:002008-12-10T12:08:00.000-08:00The confessionals are largely empty today because ...The confessionals are largely empty today because there is too much pride, too much arrogance and too much self-centeredness. Chicken Soup books and other psychological self-help books encourage people to "assert themselves" and to "dominate" everyone and everything. The notion of taking the last place, of being poor like St. Francis of Assisi, is seen as anathema.<BR/><BR/>The world shouts "win-at-all-cost," "assert yourself," "take everything you can get," "trample on others to get what you want," "dominate the conversation."<BR/><BR/>And our society is poorer for it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
