SELECTED WRITINGS OF ST. TERESA OF AVILArevised, adapted and modernized by Monsignor Wm. J. Doheny, C.S.C.Out of Print - Used paperback book. The cover shows some gentle wear, but this is a very clean copy. Copyright-1950, William J. Doheny, C.S.C., J.U.D. The preparation for this volume had been contemplated for many years. It seemed regrettable that the inspiring writings of St. Teresa should be practically unknown to so many Catholics, even to priests, as well as to lay persons. The purpose of the present work is to lead all interested persons to the rich treasure of this great Saint of God, as found in the admirable volumes translated by Mr. E. Allison Peers and to the other complete works of the Mother of Carmel. "There is, in St. Teresa's writing, a certain power that is more celestial than human, marvellously efficacious to the reform of a life, so that they may truly be read with profit, not only by those engaged in the direction of souls, or who aspire to an eminent holiness of life, but also by everyone who thinks seriously of the duties and virtues of a Christian, that is to say the salvation of his soul.

WALLED IN LIGHT: ST. COLETTE by Mother Mary Francis, P.C.C.Collectors find! Out of print, in great condition. Looks new with gentle shelf wear, unbroken spine. Paperback. Published by Franciscan Herald Press 1985. 247 pages. The late Mother Mary Francis heard the call to enter a religious institute dedicated completely to contemplation. In 1942 she entered the Poor Clare Colette Colettine Monastery in Chicago, In 1948, she, along with several other nuns were chosen to form a Poor Clare Foundation at Roswell in Mexico. Mother Mary was elected Abbess of the Monastery of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Roswell in 1964, an office she exercised with the greatest distinction for over fourty-one years. The vitality of the monastery at Roswell, from which six foundations have been made, is a testimony to the totally sound and profoundly loving governance of Mother Mary Francis. A most gifted writer, Mother Mary Francis has left us several classic volumes, including this one, a definitive biography of St. Colette. This study of the life of Saint Colette of Corbie is remarkable for the depths of its research and of its insight into the providence of God at work for the reform of the Poor Clare discipline. Mother Mary Francis could rightly declare as St. Colette of Corbie had declared so many times, "I am onle the servant of Sir Francis and Madame Saint Clare."

CHRIST AND LIFEWillfred Harrington, OPThe present-day Christian belongs to a church whose attitude to many things appears to have undergone some startling changes in recent years. As a result there is a danger that the preoccupation with side issues will obscure our recognition of the center of Christian life, Christ himself. The true function of the church, the author maintains, is that of a formation-community which helps the members to follow Christ as perfectly as possible. Reforms, designed to serve this idea are, regrettably in some danger of distracting many Christians from it. This is a book that biblical students and theologians will value, as will others who see the church today as bewilderingly different from the early apostolic community; here it becomes clear that the true identity of the church can always be found in Christ himself. Hardcover with dust jacket. 160 pages.Franciscan Herald Press, 1975. Good condition, 1st edition.[order- Christ and Life...Price $5.95]
