“Novelists are generally great liars.”
~St. Jean Baptiste de la Salle
For Reflection:
In our contemporary culture, there are many novelists abounding about spiritual matters. Are there any that I have dallied with or to which I have become attached? What is this quote telling me and what do I need to do?

In 1979, convinced of the importance of the Diary, the Marians were instrumental in bringing it–in its rough typewritten form–out of Poland. We made the necessary corrections to the manuscript and published a critical Polish edition that has been promulgated throughout the world to Polish speaking people. At the same time, we commissioned a couple in Poland…to translate the Diary into English. Once they had completed this first, literal translation we asked Archbishop George Pearce, S.M., to re-translate portions of it in accordance with proper English terminology for the various theological concepts and spiritual experiences referred to throughout the diary.
