Good stuff so far. I enjoy the chapters that focus on one person more.

Ch 2 was less of a personal story. I didn’t like this at first, but then I realized: there are too many stories to tell. The Soviet Union - bad. Catholic Church and God - good. May I never be faced with a government similar to USSR but may I be granted the grace of final perseverance.

Very good so far. Enjoyed ch 1 on Father Pro. What a heroic death.

I enjoyed the introduction.

I really like this book so far. It has helped me acknowledge the brokenness within myself, but presents hope for me and my small group on how to live more authentic lives of masculinity.

Chapter on prudence was the best one yet.

Muy interestsante

Deep stuff about freedom and intentions. Relatable.

2 take aways: 1. We should pray for Hitler and the Nazi’s souls. 2. Pope Pius 12th had his resignation prepared in the event he was captured by the Nazis, so they would not have the Pope captured.

The Pope saved lives with his silence and behind the scene work.

I’m really liking this book. Pope Pius XII did so much and is basically either forgotten about or misinterpreted.

I’m reading this for book club. It’s interesting. Definitely some quotes that stick out, especially on how the Lord works in our lives even when we ignore him or can’t see his work, he is working sort of “behind the scenes” leading us to him.
