About Diary Of A Country Carmelite: A Year In The Garden
Product Description The whole world knows and loves St. Therese of Lisieux, St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. But what about about the dozens of other Carmelite saints? In this book, Discalced Carmelite Secular Cynthia Montanaro gives us a clear view of the Carmelite life, both contemporary and historical. She shares glimpses of her own country days as a lay person in the Order and as she walks in the footsteps of those whose feasts brighten the Carmelites' liturgical year, she tells us their stories, one by one. The result is a look into the souls of the saints, and a pathway stright to the Heart of God. Review "Diary of a Country Carmelite is a gift to the Carmelte Order and the whole Church. Enough of short paragraphs that give us only a glimmer of the saints' lives! Cynthia gives us whole lives, both her own and those of the Carmelite saints. These pages provide an invaluable resource for Discalced Carmelites, as well as a wonderful introduction to Carmel for the rest of the Church." --Suzie Andres, OCDS, author, Something New with St. ThereseCindy has always been firmly rooted in the domestic arts but has a keen appreciation for the movements of the heart and the enclosures that guard and nurture its mysteries. "Carmel" speaks to her in her garden, at her quilting, in her kitchen, at her desk, in prayer. Diary of a Secular Carmelite is a beautiful unfolding of how a Secular Carmelite is enriched by her traditions and sows its seeds of love and sacrifice in the world.--Priscilla Smith McCaffrey, Catholic Media Apostolate.com About the Author Cynthia A.
