• Story of a Soul - St Therese of Lisieux
• Divine Mercy in My Soul - St Faustina
• Interior Castle - St Teresa of Avila
• Letters by Padre Pio
• Confessions - St Augustine
• Theology of the Body - St John Paul II

• Come be my light - Mother Teresa
• True Devotion to Mary - St Louis de Montfort
• Letters by St Gianna Beretta Molla
• Essays on Women - St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross

Journal Question:

1. Do I desire holiness?
2. What can I do or change in my daily life that will allow me to be more focussed on being holy?
3. What nets am I clinging on to in my life that keep me from God?
