Reading the Great Books from a Catholic Point of View
A book is a literary compass that has the potential to direct our thoughts and actions:
"Everything we read stimulates our mind to think, and what we think determines what we desire, and desires are the seedbed of our actions. Given this iron law of human nature--from reading to thinking, to desiring, to acting--we are shaping our destiny by the ideas we choose to have enter our minds through print." - Fr. John Hardon, S.J., The Catholic Lifetime Reading Plan
Welcome to my own personal exploration of life through reading the great books of the world.
"Every soul that uplifts itself uplifts the world." --Elisabeth Leseur
| In an earlier post I mentioned that Michael O'Brien's novel Fr. Elijah was going to be discussed on the radio program Sound Insights. That radio program has now been archived here. Scroll down to July 18 for the mp3 of the show. I only caught the last five minutes of the show when it aired, so I am really looking forward to listening to the rest of it. Apparently they will do a second part next Monday, July 24. Labels: catholic |
