"Any book which inspires us to lead a better life is a good book."
—Venerable Fulton Sheen (1895-1979)

I listen to both of Bishop Barron's weekly podcasts & many other Word on Fire resources. There was nothing particularly new in reading An Introduction to Prayer, but it was vivifying reading the bishop's reflections in front of the Blessed Sacrament during Eucharistic Adoration.

While Israel Slept is a journalistic account of how & why the State of Israel fell into complacency, allowing Hamas to carry out the October 7th massacres (2023), the worst pogrom since the Shoah.
