These 4 books, A
Month with Julian of Norwich, St Augustine, St Teresa of Avila, and
St Francis, follow the same simple format – providing a dozen or so
lines from the writings of the relevant spiritual guide for each
morning and evening of a month.
These are offered
without comment – and that was perhaps one of the things I liked
most, Rima Devereaux doesn’t give a gloss to the words or force a
particular interpretation, there is space for the words to breath and
your own response to form.
Of the 4, the last I
read was St Francis and this was the one I didn’t engage with as
much of it was medieval “Life of...” with some odd supernatural
happenings rather than the spiritual reflections of the other
collections.
If more follow I
would definitely follow them.
