marigold Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 A Roman Catholic friend gave me a copy of the book and the film, and while I enjoyed them, they almost went in the clearout pile that I've been making today. But perhaps someone on here would like them? Free shipping - I'm all for encouraging vocations [img]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d42/burning_string/008.jpg[/img]
Mary's Margaret Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 What a lovely offer, Marigold. I would love to say 'yes please', but I'm sure there is someone discerning a Benedictine call who would better profit by it. Plus, I'm a glutton for books and I have several on my shelves waiting for me, so thank you for the opportunity to exercise right ordering of my desires!
LaPetiteSoeur Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I no Benedictine takes them, I will! I really like Rumer Godden; I read [i]Five For Sorrow, Ten for Joy[/i] and loved it! Now I want to go visit the Dominicans of Bethany, just to say "thank you!" for all the good work they did and have done in French prisons.
Kathgirl Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I would love to accept!!!! If no one else asks. TY!!!!!!

I didn't know the Bethany Dominicans were still around, that's a nice surprise

It's in French, but if you want me to translate any parts, let me know! http://www.dominicainesdebethanie.org/

Pere Jean Joseph Lataste OP is already Venerable; the word is officially out from the Vatican, that the Congregation in Rome has approved a miracle attributed to Pere Lataste. Which means, he should be Blessed Pere Lataste as soon as....the Vatican gets around to it....you know how that goes.
brandelynmarie Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 I bumped the Les Anges du Peche ([i]Angels of The Streets). [/i]It is based on the Dominicans of Bethany & they even have references to Venerable Pere Lataste as their founder. Plus, his gravesite plays a major role in movie as well.

It makes me sad

marigold Posted October 28, 2011 Author Posted October 28, 2011 Well since Kathgirl hasn't been in touch, they're over to you, LaPetiteSoeur! PM me your mailing address and they're yours!
LaPetiteSoeur Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It came today! Merci, Marigold! I hope to watch the movie next weekend, and read the book during Christmas break! And I'm wearing the prayer bracelet--you're in my prayers!
Kathgirl Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Oh, I regret so much that I blew it>Should have checked this thread before but I assumed I wasn't going to win. Totally my fault. But thank you for offering, Marigold.
marigold Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 My pleasure, LPS. I'd be interested to hear what you think of them! Kathgirl - I'm sorry too. Maybe I'll see if I've got any other Catholic kitsch left
Kathgirl Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 TY, Marigold, I wd love that. I will look at this thread every day this time
