I thought I'd put more material into the side-column of this blog. So, I'm adding today a list of books that I've currently got on the burner. Over the years, especially during seminary, I have had the good fortune of amassing a collection of books. Not that many, for I have never seen the sense in collecting books that I would never wish to read or want to read. However, although I have read to much of what I have, there are several which I have wished to read for years, that I acquired, but have not had the time for.
Until now.
Lock-down time is a natural time for catching up on unfinished and other reading. Accordingly, on Sunday (which we called Divine Mercy Sunday), I finally pulled out the personal diary of the seeress of Divine Mercy, Sister Maria Faustina Kowalska, dear to our hearts generally, but a great beacon of hope for the Polish nation. Sister was of humble descent and would have found work as household help, had not Christ called her to the conventual life of the Sisters of OL of Mercy. Learn more about her here. This book should be interesting. Both my parents were and several friends are completely devoted to the visions and the subsequent cult that grew around the now Saint M. Faustina, Apostle of the Divine Mercy.
It shall stand amid some twenty other books that I am in various stages of reading.
