Discerning Voices
- To discern voices, read "Who's Speaking?" by Fr. Cliff Ermatinger.
- It synthesizes wisdom from saints like St. John of the Cross on discernment.
Resources for Converts
- Explore Roy Schoeman's "Honey from the Rock" or "Salvation is from the Jews" for Jewish converts.
- Consider Dr. Peter Kreeft's "Fundamentals of the Faith" for those of other faiths or "40 Reasons I Am Catholic" for atheists.
Handling Cremated Remains
- If a Catholic keeps a loved one's ashes in an urn, gently remind them of the Church's recommendation.
- Suggest a mausoleum or columbarium, but avoid unnecessary conflict.
