classic Saturday

I suppose I should rename this weekly post "classic weekend", as I often to tend to blog this on Sunday rather than Saturday!

Anywho, this week I read an excerpt from Interior Castle written by Teresa of Avila (1515-1582). She wrote of stages of prayer through the analogy of traveling through a castle. Just a bit from this selection:

"God appeals to us through other good people, through sermons, or through the reading of good books. Sometimes he calls through our sicknesses and our trials as he bids us to pray. However feeble such prayers may be, God values them highly."

What people, sermons, books has God used to appeal to you as of late?
