One of her early projects was the Harlem-based Friendship House, which attracted a young Thomas Merton. Later, with her husband, Eddie Doherty, she established Madonna House in Combermere, Ontario, a lay community that strives to emulate the spirit of the Holy Family. Though Roman Catholic, Catherine drew on her Russian roots and helped popularize the concept of Poustinia (the Russian word for desert)--a place where a person meets God through solitude, prayer, and fasting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese writings, drawn from twenty-five books, highlight her distinctive spiritual message, with its emphasis on the presence of God, the practice of prayer, a love for the church, and a dedication to the social dimensions of the gospel.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Orbis Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570758249\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 189\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Catherine de Hueck Doherty","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52507541405877,"sku":"9781570758249","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_44457c73-6e71-48b7-81b3-65b4a8c25f10.jpg?v=1778565636","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/catherine-de-hueck-doherty-essential-writings-modern-spiritual-masters-9781570758249","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
