You've probably been hearing a lot today about our founding fathers - Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, etc. Check out this article at the Catholic Culture website about Bishop John Carroll. He was instrumental in establishing the Church in America during her early years. I may comment on it later this week if I have time. (Image Source)

Books I've read recently
Alice Von Hildebrand: The Privilege of Being a Woman
(*****)Elizabeth Kuhns: The Habit: A History of the Clothing of Catholic Nuns
I never realized how complex nuns' habits could be! This book is, in a way, also a brief history of religious life. (****)Eloi Leclerc: The Desert and the Rose: The Spirituality of Jeanne Jugan
Read this during my week-long visit with the Little Sisters of the poor. This tells of Jeanne Jugan's humility and grace during the last 20 years of her life. (*****)G. K. Chesterton: Orthodoxy
"Thinking in isolation and with pride ends in being an idiot. Every man who will not have softening of the heart must at last have softening of the brain." (*****)Genevieve Kineke: The Authentic Catholic Woman
Geneview Kineke explores how authentic femininity images the Church. This is not a sappy book! (*****)Kathryn Lively: Pithed: An Andy Farmer Mystery
A short, entertaining, suspense novel. What should a good Catholic do in Andy Farmer's situation? (****)Mother Mary Francis: A Right to Be Merry
Beautiful reflection on the contemplative religious life, with a hint of humor! (*****)Raymond Arroyo: Mother Angelica: The Remarkable Story of a Nun, Her Nerve, and a Network of Miracles
(*****)
