Caroline from Bell of the Wanderer has tagged me for this simple little meme. She also gives a wonderful definition of the word meme in her post.
For this particular meme, I am to name three of my favorite religious books and then tag three others to do the same.
Anyone who knows me, knows I love books, so getting my list down to three is a tough thing for me to do. But here goes...
Besides the Bible, three of my favorites are:
1. Introduction to the Devout Life by St Francis deSales~ this book is a wonderful guide for anyone in any state of life trying to live the spiritual life. It is a must read for anyone serious about practicing their faith.
2. Divine Mercy in My Soul: St Faustina Kowalska's Diary~ This is one that is highlighted, dog~earred and read and re-read. It truly is inexhaustible; I get something new every time I return to a portion of it.
3. The Secret Diary of Elisabeth Leseur~ The diary of this lay french woman is very powerful. She was married to a man who did not share her faith, but finding her diary after her death, he converted and later became a Catholic priest. The cause for her canonization is underway.
So there you have it~three from my long list of favorites.
I pass this on to:
Colleen at Thoughts on Grace
Colleen at Inadequate Disciple
Patricia at I Want to See God

Thanks Karinann! I love this meme! And I love your list. I will also have a hard time listing only 3! But what fun!
God bless !
Oh...see! I knew you'd have a great list. I have not read the third one..
St Faustina's Diary is as you say inexhaustible..
So glad to have met you, Karinann.
Blessings and +
Thank you, Karinann! I have read much of your first 2 but never finished either. The third one is in my most need to read pile. This is an enjoyable meme, thank you for passing to me.
Colleen and Colleen~can't wait to read your lists.
Caroline~thanks again for visiting. I enjoyed meeting you in my visit to your blog yesterday.
God bless, ladies!
Karin, forgive my tardiness in thanking you for tagging me for this meme. I was so busy getting my list together and trying to get it posted, that I neglected to thank you for thinking of me.
Oh, how I love St. Faustina's Diary! I've been reading it for years, and it always seems new. I just want to lose myself in the Mercy of Jesus. How great is His Love for us!
Introduction to the Devout Life...what an awesome classic. I think it's so charming how St. Francis incorporates so many references to nature in his teachings. Just delightful. Like Colleen, I have Elizabeth Leseur's book in my "waiting" stack : )
So many great books...so little time!
Love to you, Karin!
Patricia
Patricia,
I agree with you about St Faustina's Diary~I go back to it often. I think you will enjoy Elisabeth Leseur when you get to it.
God bless.
