saturday night notes

I'm adding Christianity and Middle-Earth to our blogroll. I just found it today but am intrigued.

Re: Way of the Pilgrim, it is fantastic and so is The Pilgrim Continues on His Way.

I actually read The Pilgrim Continues on His Way this morning during my four hour wait to sign my kids up for religious ed at my parish.

There's such a shortage of hands-on "this is how to do it" books out there, and this book, well ... read it yourself! There's a cheatsheet on the Jesus Prayer from the book that I'll try to post tomorrow. There's also a cheatsheet on "what are the good parts" (i.e., most accessible) of the Philokalia.

I'm trying to read St. Athanasius's Life of Saint Anthony at the moment, but not getting a whole lot out of it.
