Hey Kevin, thanks for the comment! I don’t know about you, but I am definitely looking forward to the weather getting warmer so I can get out on the road more. As far as books, I really like anything by Scott Hahn, because he was a convert and so he explains a lot of what he learned throughout his conversion experience. “Rome Sweet Home” is one of his I learned a lot from, and “The Lambs Supper” is great at explaining the true meaning of the Mass and it’s relation to the book of Revelations. Scott Hahn does a great job at explaining what our faith is in a readable way. Father James Martin also is one of my favorite authors, and his book “Jesus: A Pilgrimage” is awesome at explaining our faith, and also exploring who Jesus was as a person through Father Martin’s travels to various sites in the Holy Land. Anyway, these are my favorites right now.

My name is on the key stone of St. Elizabeth Seton. We were among the first 40 members that started the parish under Father Piket. My doctorate is in ministry. I have a masters from St. Meinrad in Theological Studies and a masters in Pastoral Theology from St. Mary of the Woods. Have you made a Cursillo? If not I would like to sponsor you. If so, I would like to group with you. How about lunch sometime?

I really enjoyed your writing on today’s readings. It’s often tough for me to find a similar style I can relate to but you hit nail right on the head. BTW, I too am a runner and find great solitude in being outdoors plus into Scouting with my sons which provides opportunities for us to provide service to our community. My question…if you are taking any…what books do you recommend for an adult Catholic who needs refresher course to raise level of understanding about all aspects of our faith. I’d love to know more and understand that is a life process, but looking for something now that I can focus in on.

Take care,

Kevin
