tnavarro61 Posted January 19, 2011 Posted January 19, 2011 I am on the part where she's gonna be a novice sister. The book is really great. Lots of insights.. I love it when she quotes Saint John of the Cross.

tnavarro61 Posted January 20, 2011 Posted January 20, 2011 [quote name='tnavarro61' timestamp='1294144547' post='2196499'] I am really Carmelite at heart, but I won't enter a Carmelite order! [/quote] and I think I'm going to consider, God willing, a community that is very Carmelite in spirituality. I love vocation story books. When I read Thomas Merton's, I felt like a monk haha! Now reading Mother Catherine Thomas' makes me understand Carmelite spirituality. I wanna dive into the oceans of Carmel!

emmaberry Posted May 31, 2012 Posted May 31, 2012 Just started reading My Beloved online....so great! I think it would be really good for my mom to read as well, since it seems to accurately portray the reality of religious life, including its joys! My parents need to see that the cloister is really heaven on earth. Anyone know where I can get a print copy for less than $45.00?????? Thanks!
Chiquitunga Posted June 1, 2012 Posted June 1, 2012 Here are some, [url="http://www.bookfinder.com/search/?ac=sl&st=sl&ref=bf_s2_a1_t1_1&qi=P3WsB,HTEdWK7lD,cczEN,ERQgI_4676548392_1:74:297&bq=author%3Dmother%2520catherine%2520thomas%26title%3Dmy%2520beloved"]http://www.bookfinde...le=my%20beloved[/url] Bookfinder is great!
