-Rainer Maria Rilke

This review is from: All Shall Be Well: Hope and Inspiration from Great Catholic Thinkers (Paperback)

I recently lost my mother, so I was delighted to come across this inspirational (and instructional) jewel. The quotes by Catholic thinkers and the lovely essays by Cavolina and Bunson make this book a comforting addition to my night table. "All Shall Be Well" is also excellent gift material.

This review is from: All Shall Be Well (Mass Market Paperback)

If you are unfamiliar with the Saints, or are overwhelmed with the number of biographies on them, "All Shall Be Well" provides a good primer. This book collects quotes from Saints and other great Catholic thinkers throughout history. From Therese to Aquinas, Francis to Michelangelo, contemplatives to Popes, you'll find a diverse introduction to Catholic wit and wisdom.

I read a couple pages from this book each day as a part of my morning devotionals. Slowly reading these words set a contemplative tone for the rest of my day. And beyond, through the book, I've discovered many new Saints to befriend.
