Lex Credendi

It’s been eight months since I’ve written anything, as I’ve been particularly busy with work and family life.  Also, these last couple of months, I’ve been reading quite a lot.  After several years of owning a copy, I have been reading The Imitation of Christ, by Thomas a Kempis.  This book seems to be an excellent introduction to the mystical (as opposed to the intellectual) side of Catholicism.  I find that this book increases faith and fervor more than any catechism or purely philisophical work (like the Summa Theologica) ever could.  I am also reading a few other books: Divine Mercy in My Soul – the diary of St. Maria Faustina Kowalska, The Way by St. Josemaria Escriva, and lastly, The Soul of the Apostolate by Jean-Baptiste Chautard, O.C.S.O. 

It looks like I’ve got my plate pretty full for now!
