10 Classic Catholic Books for Writing Inspiration
I have often found great inspiration when reading classic Catholic books. They seem so pure and undiluted. They often came from an earlier time when the world was not yet as secular as it is today.
We find in them truths expressed in a very straightforward way. And their words are backed up by the holiness found in their lives.
Whenever I’m having a writer’s block, I make it a point to read some of these classics. They not only help me find inspiration for writing. More importantly, they help reignite my faith in God.
I have listed some of these classic books in case you need inspiration from them today:
Interior Castle or The Mansions
by St. Teresa of Avila
“...it is presumptuous in me to wish to choose my path, because I cannot tell which path is best for me. I must leave it to the Lord, Who knows me, to lead me by the path which is best for me, so that in all things His will may be done.”
Way of Perfection
by St. Teresa of Avila
“O Lord, all our troubles come to us because we do not have our eyes fixed on you. If only we looked at the path we're walking, we would soon arrive. But, we stumble and fall a thousand times and we stray because we do not set our eyes on the true Way.”
