I had the opportunity to meet Catherine at Combermere years ago when I went there to spend time in a poustinia. Her words she spoke to us were are fire stir me to the depths of my being.

God bless you Kelly! I’ve just recently purchased your book (Spiritual Wanderlust), and, for many years, I have owned all of Catherine’s books (I still dip into them quite often, and yes, I “identify” as a “Strannik”😊). I look forward to watching all of your videos, and I’m not sorry that I subscribed to your channel. Thank you!😊🙏👍

Thomas Merton writes of her in his book "Seven Storey Mountain". Some people today have given her the title of "Thomas Merton's Spiritual Mother". He went to a lecture at Columbia University but the scheduled lecturer could not appear, and Catherine was the replacement speaker. He met her after and she encouraged him to do volunteer work in Harlem which he did. When he went to Kentucky he burned some of his writings, thinking he would never write again, but it turned out much differently, as he wrote about 60 books in the next 27yrs. He may not have been so productive if he spent the rest of his life in Harlem. He received a better and more appreciated destiny in the course he took after praying to St Therese of Lisieux.

Very interesting

I found her fifty years ago and have walked with her ever since. She is one of God's special gifts to me, to the church and to the world.

I am curious as to what you mean when you speak of a “cramped Christianity”. I’ve heard you use that term. Opposed to a wide open Christianity that “greedily pulls in everything”. I’ve heard similar things are more recent social issues. Along the lines that the Church shouldn’t disallow people with certain proclivities.

[@carolinafine8050]

I think I figured out what you mean by it. A cramped Christianity is one where some is not considered accepted unless everything about that person is accepted as well. There’s no requirement on the individual to change (unless they have views that are considered patriarchal) but, aside from that: all behaviors accepted
