The Catholic Book Club at St. Paul’s NYC meets monthly to share and discuss the ins and outs of a great Catholic work.

Join us for our next session! We will meet on Tuesday, March 24th at 6:30PM in person to discuss The Reed of God  by Caryll Houselander.

To RSVP, reach out to welcomecenter@ stpaultheapostle.org

About the Book:

Caryll Houselander portrays Mary as a reed, hollow and open, through which God’s song could be played. With this powerful image, Houselander reveals how Mary gave her whole being to God’s plan and shows how we, too, can become instruments of divine love.

Years before the Second Vatican Council inspired renewed devotion to Mary, Houselander offered her own profound and approachable vision of the Mother of God―warm, intuitive, and accessible. She counters the stiff, idealized “Madonna of the Christmas card” with a portrait of Mary that is alive, intimate, and profoundly relevant for Christians seeking closeness with Christ.
