We are going to read another book by Saint Augustine, and it is called "Enchiridion". I have read the first chapter, and it is a very interesting book! Keep in mind there are several translations; We are also reading a commentary on this book by Fr. William F. Maestri to help us with the advanced reading level and also the advanced Catholicism.
Get a dictionary and look up 'enchiridion' (know what it means, know how to spell it, and know how to pronounce it) - in the realm of "livelihood education". By adding the origin and transmission of the word, some academic approaches can be understood - that it is a Greek word that comes to us from late Middle English via late Latin (in the realm of "technical education" on word parameters can be found in certain dictionaries). Please note that enchiridion is not the same word as compendium - they are two different words, and hence, two different things. It is possible for a person to use the enchiridion with the compendium for enrichment and enlightment purposes.

I'm always excited to find a new saint!
I was reading a book (Divine Milieu), and I came across a list of people on a page of the book which included someone I had not heard of before ...
... I knew everyone on the list except Saint Lydwine
I was researching online about who was this new saint (Saint Lydwine), and I found a wonderful site right here on blogger about saints - 365 Saints... be sure to check it out (and it does differ from 365 Rosaries also here on blogger - check out both of them)
