Catholic Reading Challenge

Published on August 12, 2019

Good Friday afternoon, friends!
Today is the feast day of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross, a Carmelite nun, born Edith Stein.
I’m sending you a write-up from Hannah Hay. She set out to write a book review on one of the books available here at the Pastoral Centre, and it turned into a testimony of her own personal journey to becoming a member of the Discalced Carmelite Secular Order! An inspiring story … a must-read!
