I think that it was the Ascent to Mt. Carmel. I remember slamming the book after reading his thoughts on the world. I almost yelled out loud, "I have to attain sanctity in that world." It was a long time before I picked him up again. I took "The Dark Night of the Soul" out of the library expecting a deep, dark book. I was amazed by its simplicity and practicality. I read it frequently now.Judy Kallmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04815139430750938384noreply@blogger.com
