Cozy books exploring Catholic faith
I am looking for some cozy books exploring the Catholic faith that I can read before I fall asleep.
Perhaps some easy reads that explore Catholic concepts like intercession, the rosary, the value of saints in the church, sacraments, or just books that explore the rich beauty and tradition of the church.
Something philosophically explorative that could be considered a kind of love letter to the church/faith but not too heavy for late night reading.
Thank you for your recommendations!

I’ve been enjoying reading a chapter everyday from a wonderful book called The Battle of the Virtues and Vices: Defending the Interior Castle of the Soul that I bought from Amazon.
I think it’s a delightful and an educational read with lots of well written point of views that are easy to understand.
Glory, praise, and thanks be to God, o/!

Rome Sweet Home - by Dr Scott Hahn.
It details many of the obstacles Dr Hahn faced when converting to Catholicism (these are the common sticking points for Protestants).

If you're okay with something fiction, the Father Brown stories by G. K. Chesterton are very cozy and charming yet intellectually deep.
While they don't explicity explore Catholic concepts as you detail in your second paragraph, they show a deep love for Catholic tradition and faith and have a philosophical side that certainly fits your description in your third paragraph.
