  2. Congratulations Rabbi! You are a blessing among us. May the Beloved always bless you with Understanding, Love, and Compassion. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage
  3. I have by Robert Ellsberg "ALL SAINTS: Daily Reflections On Saints, Prophets, And Witnesses For Our Times" (1999). A good book that expands on what saintliness can or should be. I have enjoyed every page of it. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage
  4. This year the Hispanic world -- and the world of literature in general -- is celebrating the IV CENTENARY of the publication of the universally acclaimed novel of "DON QUIXOTE" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra (1547-1616). Every high school student in a Hispanic culture is forced to read the novel. I have decided to join this celebration by reading once more -- but this time for the fun of it -- "El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha." I started a few days ago, and I am already having a good time. Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitage
  5. I am studying two books. "Why Religion Matters" by Huston Smith (ISBN 0-06-067102-5). "The Gnostic Bible" edited by Willis Barnstone & Marvin Neyer (ISBN 1-57062-242-6). Hermano Luis Moriviví Hermitag
  6. I am reading the works of St. John of the Cross (1542-1591) in the original Spanish. Very tough reading, but very interesting. St. John of the Cross was a real master of the contemplative life. I am also reading and studying the Qur'an (an English translation).
