Ciszek, too! <BR/><BR/>I had been praying to saints "known and unknown" and sent up a prayer that if there were any Saints who were interceeding for me to make themselves known. Then someone gave me a prayer card. (The prayer of Surrender I posted some time ago). <BR/><BR/>Well, that prayer gets me through some terrible moments at work. <BR/><BR/>And I've recently come across another connection to him, which provided a sort of affirmation of his intercession (although not on my behalf, which makes it even better!). I know he has adopted me and I sense his presence even now. He is a powerful Saint, so I am praying for his canonization...as are you, likely. <BR/><BR/><BR/>And I DO plan to read and re-read his book! But I lent it to the priests at my parish on Christmas. I will likely purchase another copy because I may not get this one back any time soon. And I have promised it to other people as well! But it will likely join my other Advent reading this year (Devout Life), which I also read for the first time, as my lifetime spiritual companions. <BR/><BR/>Amazing stuff. <BR/><BR/>God bless you, Terry. :-)Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-1167360873113455732006-12-28T20:54:00.000-06:002006-12-28T20:54:00.000-06:00I love Walter Cisek - you are reading the classic ...I love Walter Cisek - you are reading the classic of modern spirituality. It is a very holy book written by a saint. It is the modern adaptation of "Abandonement to Divine Providence" and done in the very best of Jesuit spirituality. It is Theresian through and through - in the sense of the Little Flower. You must re-read it again and again - and so must I.<BR/><BR/>You are a very good woman.
