PP,
So unusual, I just found out about this book and am dying to read it. I was rereading "Come Be My Light" and Mother Theresa wrote of reading that book and finding it to be of profound benefit. I'm searching for it right now.

I've never heard of this book before. I'm searching for it on the internet and I can't seem to find it. Who's the author??

[font="Times New Roman"]I enjoyed [b]Life & Message of Sr. Mary of The Holy Trinity by Rev. Alain-Marie Duboin O.F.M[/b] and [b]Blessed Marie-Celine of the Presentation by the Poor Clare nuns in Rockford, Illinois.[/b] I just love those sisters! They are truly joyful.[/font]

I recently received Come Be My Light as a gift. Or rather, I received Kom Wees Mijn Licht, because I was given the Dutch translation

[i]Before the Living God[/i], by Ruth Burrows OCD. It's the autobiography of a Carmelite nun who entered the monastery at seventeen. It was hailed as a spiritual 'classic' when it was published in the Seventies. A new edition has recently been brought out. I like all the books by Sister Ruth, but this one touched me in a special way.
