My guests for the month of September are from the Daughters of Saint Paul. Sister Kathryn Hermes, FSP, shares about a book called “The Bishop of the Abandoned Tabernacle,” by Victoria Schneider. The book is about a bishop who later became a saint whose experience before a deserted tabernacle was to mark his whole life. From that moment on he dedicated himself to spreading devotion to the Eucharist.

Sister Emily Beata Marsh, FSP, reflects about a second book, called “Worshipping a Hidden God: Unlocking the Secrets of the Interior Life,” by Archbishop Luis Martinez, who shows you how to enter into an intense, sustained communion with God.  We hope that, by listening to this podcast, you will be inspired to read these books.
