About me I am a bibliophile who spends hours searching bookshops, colleges and libraries for Catholic books plus the occasional scientific work. When not on the road book hunting, I am studying philosophy and theology, volunteering at the only Catholic library in the city, reading my latest acquisitions, blogging about Catholicism, assiting at the Traditional Latin Mass, writing poetry or enjoying chocolate in its many forms with friends.

For those wondering, the image to the right is St. Thomas Aquinas, whose literary output was blessed with the gifts of counsel, knowledge and wisdom. As a Dominican Tertiary, I have a great love for his works but even more for his life.

About my library The collection's current focus is philosophy, spirituality and theology of a Catholic persuasion, though you will find books by Anglican, Evangelical and Orthodox writers. There are a few ancient, antiquarian and archaic works which those in the know will recognise, particularly among some of the devotionals. Eventually the collection will also contain forays into cricket, history, mathematical amusements, poetry and science, though I am still deciding whether I should include engineering books from my undergraduate days.

Since I have aspirations to the priesthood or religious life, I thought it a necessity to have a well stocked library for my future preaching and teaching, as well as to wile away the few minutes one can spare from active ministry.

We seem to share many interests. You might be interested in this website at

http://www.cfnews.org.uk which I edit on behalf of the National Association of Catholic Families (UK). It is normally updated twice a week, on Thursdays and Sundays .. Frequently carries book reviews that might be of interest.

God bless,

Hi,
Your library is interesting to me. I don't know if you have this book but it might be of interest to someone like yourself who is considering the priesthood. It is Benedict Groeschel's Spiritual Passages. As the title suggests, it is about the psychology of spiritual development which is something I would thing a priest would be very interested in learning about. I found this book fascinating and enlightening. I am lucky to have an autographed copy.
If you don't know, Father Groeschel is a member of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal in New York.

We have several books in common. I like your taste - and I aspire to have a library like yours. As a convert, mine is small yet, but growing. Peace to you; God bless you in your vocation.

Just FYI, at least one of the F.S.V.F. Friars is an Englishman. You'd probably have to learn French at some point, but if you want to correspond with them you can do so in English.
Have you decided on a Monastery yet? I would recommend the Dominicans of Avrille or the Fraternity of St. Vincent Ferrer in Chémeré-le-Roi.
