Thank you but I'll be reading the works of Peter, Paul, the Evangelists, St John, St Ambrose, St Athanasius, St Augustine, St Basil, St Catherine of Siena, St Francis, St Gregory the Great, St Jerome, St John of the Cross, St Theresa of Avila and St Thomas Aquinas.

You could do lots worse than those guys. I personally love Clement of Alexandria, Athanasius (a 4th century Luther, imo), Bernard of Clairvaux (we all have warts!), and, of course, Aquinas. I have to add that I believe (with Luther, Calvin, and the rest of the reformers), that these men would have been horrified at Trent. Anyway, I commend you on reading them. Some of them I have never read, I say to my shame.

And I have not read nearly enough of them to be considered a student of any one of them... to my shame as well... I do plan to do better though... :-)
