It is also well after a few years to reread the very good books which have already done us much good. Life is short: we should be content to read and read again whatever bears the mark of God, and not to lose our time on things that are lifeless and of no value. St. Thomas Aquinas never wearied of rereading the conferences of Cassian. How many souls have gained greatly by often rereading The Imitation! To be profoundly penetrated by one such book is far better than to read all spiritual writers superficially.

When I was in high school alot of the kids were reading a book entitled “the Deliverance of Sister Cecelia”. I didn’t read it until this week (I graduated in 1965)–glad I didn’t read it then as it would have been lost on me what is so glaringly apparent right now.
The book is a true first hand account of Sister Cecelia’s escape from Poland after the Communists took over…..what is disconcerting to me is the tactics that took place by the Communists that are evident everywhere today in our beloved United States of America! Is it tooooo trite to say that history is repeating itself once again and one of the Communist tactics is a slow and gradual takeover until it is too late.
