We just received a new shipment of books from Twenty-Third Publications, a great publisher with LOTS of resources for RCIA books, homiletics, and faith formation.

Ultimately, I’m fascinated by monasticism. I realize very clearly that I’m not exactly cut out for it, which is why it intrigues me all the more.
