These are the reflections of a Secular Franciscan. I look not only at my own spiritual journey, but also at issues of life, economic and social justice, morality, the arts, and more through the lens of Franciscan Spirituality.

Summer reading - initial projections
I still have a week of grading to finish - but already I'm beginning to plan for summer reading.
I'm teaching a course I haven't taught in a couple of years, so I have to reread some of the books to get ready. And I need to review some of the books for my current main course.
So here's a tentative starting list:
The Divine Comedy - Dante (my fun reading)
Handbook for Secular Franciscan Servant Leadership (for my vocation)
Consider the Ravens: On Contemporary Hermit Life - Paul Fredette and Karen Fredette
Sister of My Heart - Chitra Banerjee
Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass
The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
Black Like Me - John Howard Griffin
Travels With Charley - John Steinbeck
A Moveable Feast - Ernest Hemingway
I'm sure more books or plays will make the list. I need some more spiritual reading. Maybe add in a Brother Odd book by Dean Koontz for fun.
Pax et bonum
