I think I mentioned this before, but I take my time with my spiritual reading. This was no exception. I just completed Rev. Paul D. Scalia’s That Nothing May Be Lost. If that name is familiar, he is a priest for the Diocese of Arlington and the son of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. I first became aware of him listening to his homily for his dad’s funeral in 2016. It’s the best funeral homily I have heard, it inspires mine, and it is included in the appendix of this book.
I had picked up this book a number of years ago, but finally got to reading it. It is a collection of his work, including some articles he has written and (I think) some homilies. Topics range from the Sacraments to saints, including Mary, to prayer, feast days, and, of course, Our Lord. I love this book because it is easy to pick up, read one or two, and reflect on his words. He also does a great job, since these are written for your typical lay Catholic, of distilling ideas down into something that is easily consumed but will keep you thinking. I highly recommend this book to enrich anyone's spiritual life.
