Thank you for this podcast! I’ve been listening to you for the last half year – either on my way to work or when I do jobs at work that do not require too much thinking. It’s been helping me a lot to stay sane and maintain my peace. This podcast especially reminded me of this one book my spiritual director gave me to read:
Prayer and Temperament: Different Prayer Forms For Different Personality Types by Monsignor Chester P Michael and Marie Christian Norrisey. This helped me embrace my individual spirituality type instead of comparing myself to others. Just felt like sharing this to you, as you’ve been doing so much by sharing your stories and wisdom! 🙂 God bless!
Hi Maria! Thanks so much for the book suggestion, we will check it out. So glad to hear that you are enjoying the podcast. God bless!
