It's a Missionary of Charity :nun3: I know a couple other MCs who entered Carmel too. Beautiful path! :heart:



The [url="http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/topic/110110-my-beloved-by-mother-catherine-thomas/#entry2196064"]first post[/url] in this thread has a link to one :)

That's very interesting and ironic considering that Mother Teresa chose her name because of The Little Flower! I will always remember that.

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.

Dominican sisters once ran the college. I have contacted them and asked if they would like me to return the book.

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!

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.

[quote name='Chiquitunga' timestamp='1295405664' post='2201643']hey ds, just wondering .. so most of the pictures in the hardcover edition are [url="http://gloria.tv/?media=50199"][b]here[/b][/url] I believe .. but I know I saw one somewhere of Mother Catherine Thomas in the parlor behind the grille with her black veil completely over her face. Was I dreaming this or something, lol .. or is it in there? I can't find it on this gloria site nor anywhere else. Thanks! I have the paperback :like:[/quote]

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]

Man, I wish I could give this one 10 million props. If you want to hear God laugh, then say "I won't".

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!

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

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.

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.
