About the Book
Moments of Grace
Paperback – June 21, 2015
by the Carmelite Sisters
Saint Teresa is said to have remarked, “From silly devotions and sour-faced saints, good Lord deliver us.” Deep reverence and a zestful approach to one’s spiritual life are not mutually exclusive. While sad and bittersweet moments are a natural part of life this side of Heaven, the stories contained in this new book reflect the humor and laughter, joy and love of life that is such an integral part of the life of every one of the Carmelite Sisters – proof positive that in order to be holy or saintly, one does not have to be cranky and sour in disposition.
We pray that the pages of this book will warm your soul and bring a smile to your lips!
