I got a Candle for St. Jude at a thrift shop but haven't read it yet. Do you highly recommend it?

Anabelle, I've read this book many times, so yes, I recommend it VERY highly.
There are, however, some differences between the hardcover and the paperback editions. (I had the paperback until it fell apart, and then I sent for the hardcover.)
In the original hardcover, Madame pronounce the word "all" as "oll."
Also, she rolls, or should I say
"rrolls" her R's.
Interestingly enough, 44 years later, Rumer Godden wrote another book, "Listen To The Nightingale," wherein some of the same characters appear, albeit, sometimes, with different names.

Encouraging news about EWTN's Fr. Anthony

Fr. Anthony hopes to be back on the air in the near future.  Oh, HOW I'm praying for that to happen! https://franciscanmissionaries.c...
