By Donald A. Guglielmi, associate priest of Madonna House Both groundbreaking and readable, this book examines the neglected gift of spiritual motherhood and traces Catherine Doher ty's development as a staritsa, or spiritual mother, in the Russian tradition. Previously unpublished letters of spiritual direction between Catherine and her spiritual directors offer a privileged glimpse into the soul of this Servant of God as she grows in her vocation. Of particular interest are chapters dealing with Catherine's exercise of spiritual motherhood for priests and laity alike. The question then arises, “How can I, too, carry the Spirit of God in my life and work?” A valuable book for priestly convocations, women’s retreats, days of recollection, and self-reflection.
