Parish Book Club @ St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church, Carlsbad, North San Diego County

Good morning, we will meet in one of the rooms of the lower level of the newer Parish Center today. Park in the same lower lot of the church entrance and go in the double doors of the taller building. See you soon!

See you Saturday at 11:00 in the one story Conference Center to discuss The Way of Serenity: Finding Peace and Happiness in the Serenity Prayer by Fr. Jonathan Morris.

In August, we will meet a week later, August 15th, and our book will be somewhat lighter summer reading: Something Other Than God: How I Passionately Sought Happiness and Accidentally Found It by Jennifer Fulweiler.

Respectfully asking for someone to guest host our September meeting. That would mean bringing in a few questions to lead the discussion.

Saturday we’ll come up with the next few months’ books. I have my eye on a spiritual direction book by a Jesuit. I’ve come across interesting books on how to think about Marian apparitions and private revelation, a biblical exegesis of Purgatory, more apologetics, and a self-help Sister. And I feel we could always spend more time learning about the saints.

Thanks and Happy Reading! Here is the complete text of the Serenity Prayer:

GOD, grant me the serenity
to accept the things
I cannot change,

Courage to change the
things I can, and the
wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the
pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this
sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make
all things right if I
surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy
in this life, and supremely
happy with Him forever in
the next.

Amen
