ABC Wednesday: Jesuits

Our ladies’ group, Women at the Well,  is reading this book by a Jesuit priest Father James Martin.   Since we meet only once a month  and do not meet in the summer,  we will continue to read this interesting book into 2015.   Father Martin relates the saints’ lives,  as well as those who led saintly, holy lives,  and how they have impacted his own life.   The saints or saintly that we have encountered thus far are these: The Saint of the Sock Drawer- Jude Joan of Arc Thomas Merton Ignatius of Loyola Pedro Arrupe Bernadette Soubirous And for April, we are reading about these: Mother Teresa Pope John XXIII  Then some of our ladies  share the history and spirituality of each saint  we have studied with their own unique presentations.   We are fortunate to have such industrious  and interesting speakers in our group. I highly recommend this book  for its spiritual value  as well as its entertaining way of sharing...
