Sylvia Lopez-Medina's Cantora.
It had a good review from Oscar Hijuelos (LOVE) on the front cover, so I decided to go for it.

I am reading a book by Igor Bunich (1937-2004), titled, "The Gold of the Party" ("Zoloto Partii," in Russian). A thorough investigation of the "financial side" of the Communist Party of the USSR, including its connections with various international banks and corporations. I am almost done with this book, and it becomes even more interesting and intriguing towards the end. I especially enjoyed the author's psychological portraits of Yuriy Andropov and Mikhail Gorbachev.

I know this is basic, but I want to post about it to share my joy -- I finished reading St. Seraphim of Sarov's "On Acquisition of the Holy Spirit." I've gotten so off track with my studies  , being caught up with practical church issues, but I pray that with this fast that I can get back on track with my prayer rule and reading, in addition to working with my priest, godparents, and other church activities. |

Good! I know how you feel though. I considered it a personal triumph when I finished St. Innocent's Way into the Kingdom of Heaven even though it's just a pamphlet. Baby steps. |

About seven or so years ago I heard an interview with him and I living with some Jesuits and I read some of his stuff and was impressed. Flannery O'Connor is great. Get the film Wise Blood. It is fantastic. And you get see one of America's greatest character actors as a young man play a protagonist, Brad Dourif. |

Was at a buddy's house and picked up a couple books from him. This is one:  The Saint who scandalized a younger Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh by drinking beer and smoking openly in her monastic robes while unbeknownst to him dying daily giving her life to save others. Been "avoiding" her. As I say, I ain't into holopr0n. I heard one version of life read in the parish and I could barely "keep it together". She was the real deal. How her life ended depresses the hell out of me and I how she lived it depresses the hell out of me. Saw this at my buddy's and figured it was time to read a Saint whose life in an unfortunate way touches mine. When the Jews in occupied lands had to wear the Star of David and other Christians said it wasn't a Christian problem, she said: There is no such thing as a Christian Problem. Don't you realize that the battle is being waged against Christianity? If we were true Christians, we would all wear the Star. The age of Confessors has come. For that one line alone: There is no such thing as a "Christian" Problem. She reminds us of our fundamental calling. Neatly and frighteningly summing up the Christian life: The way to God lies through love of people. At the Last Judgment I shall not be asked whether I was successful in my ascetic exercises, nor how many bows and prostrations I made. Instead I shall be asked, Did I feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and the prisoners. That is all I shall be asked. About every poor, hungry and imprisoned person the Savior says ‘I’: ‘I was hungry and thirsty, I was sick and in prison.’ To think that he puts an equal sign between himself and anyone in need. . . . I always knew it, but now it has somehow penetrated to my sinews. It fills me with awe. When the edict came down for Jews to have to wear the Star, she wrote a poem: Israel
Two triangles, a star,
The shield of King David, our forefather.
This is election, not offense.
The great path and not an evil.
Once more in a term fulfilled,
Once more roars the trumpet of the end;
And the fate of a great people
Once more is by the prophet proclaimed.
Thou art persecuted again, O Israel,
But what can human malice mean to thee,
who have heard the thunder from Sinai? "What can human malice mean to thee, who have heard the thunder from Sinai?" Indeed, how much less can human malice mean to we, who claim to have heard the groans from Calvary? St. Mary Skobtsova pray for us! |

Will do. Thanks. And I'm really enjoying Pelikan. Flannery O'Connor is the Queen of Southern Writers, IMO. My parents are from her hometown of Milledgeville, GA, and my grandmother knew Ms. Oconnor quite well. It's just too bad that most literature professors fail to recognize the profound Christian symbolism in her writing. This makes me want to revisit some of her works. Thanks. Selam |

OMG Vamrat, I would have laughed in horror after seeing that. And Orthonorm, again, another chapter to your memoir...you need to chop-chop on that so I can add it to my reading list.  BTW, a rec here. I have a few more pages to go, but the aforementioned poster said something about "The Paradox of Choice" by Barry Schwartz. Another good book related to the psychology of choice and how we may have too much choice in our society today...I wholeheartedly agree and reading the book is making me more and more depressed. |

 What time did you go to sleep! Have been there, though! With both wanting to read until 4 or 5 AM and trying to get through Augustine! Ha. Sometimes it isn't good for me to go on reading for that long, because I'm tired, and then the words just kind of mush together after some point. I finished Lisa See's "Shanghai Girls" that way, and to be honest, I can't really remember the second half of the book too well. But I just HAD to know the ending. Ah, well, I learned my lesson. |

I forced myself to let go and I went to bed at 3 AM. I've just finished the book (and thus the trilogy). THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW GLORIOUS.... I think I'll keep dragging Augustine out for a while. The 5-10 minutes at a time that I can stand always seems to parellel my life not long after I've read it... but maybe that's just me.  Yeah, I actually finished both 1984 and Brave New World that way ^These novels, FTW. 2nd time I've heard Brave New World referenced today. |

Orthodox Dogmatic Theology by Fr Michael Pomazansky.
Me, too. Everyone should read it. I especially like this paragraph: This does not mean that the theological exposition of dogmas must take an unalterable form. Each epoch puts forth its own views, ways of understanding, questions, heresies and protests against Christian truth, or else repeats ancient ones which had been forgotten. Theology naturally takes into consideration the inquiries of each age, answers them, and sets forth the dogmatic truths accordingly. In this sense, one may speak about the development of dogmatic theology as a branch of learning. But there are no sufficient grounds for speaking about the development of the Christian teaching of faith itself. |
