Strictlyinkblot Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 I'm rereading this at the mo'. Someone should put it together as an ebook, that would be a lot cheaper than what some of the places are charging for a print copy.

I will always remember that.
maximillion Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 It arrived today and was originally ( has it stamped all over it) in the library of St Mary's Training College, Belfast, which I am going to search for on the net.
maximillion Posted June 7, 2012 Posted June 7, 2012 Dominican sisters once ran the college. I have contacted them and asked if they would like me to return the book.
AveMariaPurissima Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 I was just able to order it from the library! I can't wait to read it. I've always had a love for Carmel, ever since I "discovered" St. Thérèse when I was about eight or ten years old!
MarieClaire Posted June 8, 2012 Posted June 8, 2012 Does anyone know, if this book was ever translated into other languages than English and is still available? I was searching on it, but I can't find one.

Eowyn Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 [quote name='holly.o' timestamp='1294154317' post='2196537'] Yeah, just try saying "I won't" anything to God and see what happens [img]http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/public/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif[/img] [/quote] Man, I wish I could give this one 10 million props. If you want to hear God laugh, then say "I won't".
AnneLine Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) Link to an obituary article on Mother Catherine Thomas from 1989. It was published in Carmelite Digest shortly after her death. (Sorry I can't cut & paste it, but hopefully link will work....) And.. .it has a photo of her!

Chiquitunga Posted November 3, 2012 Posted November 3, 2012 Wow, thank you so much for posting that AnneLine!!! I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and to see her picture!! yay!!! She looks so joyful! and all the background behind her book! That's hilarious, the story about the sailor! and all the other ones .. how wonderful to hear of them. Her book has touched so many lives including this one Thank you Sr. Catherine Thomas!
Rosa immaculata Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 Ave Maria! Hum, as soon as I have finished [i]A Right to be merry[/i], I will read [i]My Beloved[/i] (I only know ot since I read this thread!!), which seems a beautiful book! I am sad to read A right to be merry too fast, so this new book will consolate me! Thank you for all the books, and the links!
Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted November 9, 2012 Posted November 9, 2012 When I was little I knew a priest who knew MCT and her community on Gun Hill Rd in NY. He wrote a poem mentioning each nun. It was called The Nuns and the Pancakes. I used to know part of it by heart. I'll see if I can find it. I used to like My Beloved when I was discerning but I found the beginning of it better than the 2nd half.
nikita92 Posted November 14, 2012 Posted November 14, 2012 I simply downloaded the free ebook version on my Nook yesterday after reading this thread. Saved money and time!
inperpetuity Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 This[size=6] [b]is[/b] [/size]a vocational goldmine!! Thank you so much for posting it. I had it years ago and gave it away, it just didn't have the same effect on me then for some reason although I remember thinking it was good back then. I'm talking like 5 years ago. I'm definitely getting another copy.
