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.

Doherty's "Urodivoi: Holy Fools" - Maybe it's me
I finished Urodivoi: Holy Fools by Catherine Doherty.
Having enjoyed some of her other books, I had high hopes for this one as a book for spiritual reading. I wish I could say I enjoyed it, but it was a struggle. Maybe it's me.
The book was more of a vision than a straight forward essay or narrative. I had a hard time following it or staying focused. I found it repetitive at times.
I had to force myself to finish it.
Again, it could be me. Maybe I wasn't ready for it. Maybe it wasn't the right time for it.
I don't know.
It won't stop me from reading more of her books, but I think I'll wait a while to tackle another one.
Pax et bonum
