Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of Macarius (= “Blessed”) was a common one among the Christians of the fourth and following centuries, especially in Egypt. Two men of the name stand out as twin giants of the ascetic life of that age and country. They are distinguished from each other as Macarius the Egyptian and Macarius the Alexandrian. An “Egyptian” means one who belonged to the ancient race of Egypt1—a “Copt”; an Alexandrian means one who belonged to the Greek colony planted in that city. The two were friends and nearly contemporaries, though the Alexandrian was somewhat the younger. The Egyptian Macarius was born about the year 300. Aeterna Press

Book excerpt: THE SPIRITUAL LIFE: A TREATISE ON ASCETICAL AND MYSTICAL THEOLOGY REVEREND ADOLPHE TANQUEREY — A Catholic Classic! — Two Parts of Four Books in One — Includes 1,773 Active Linked Footnotes — Includes Active Linked Headings, Index and Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations Publisher: Available in Paperbacks: FIRST PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-507-9 SECOND PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-508-6 It is the writer’s conviction that Dogma is the foundation of Ascetical Theology and that an exposition of what God has done and still does for us is the most efficacious motive of true devotion. Hence, care has been taken to recall briefly the truths of faith on which the spiritual life rests. This treatise then is first of all doctrinal in character and aims at bringing out the fact that Christian perfection is the logical outcome of dogma, especially of the central dogma of the Incarnation. The work however is also practical, for a vivid realization of the truths of faith is the strongest incentive to earnest and steady efforts towards the correction of faults and the practice of virtues. Consequently in the first part of this treatise the practical conclusions that naturally flow from revealed truths and the general means of perfection are developed. The second part contains a more detailed exposition of the special means of advancing along the Three Ways towards the heights of perfection.

Book excerpt: "The Way of Perfection is a masterful work written by Saint Teresa of Jesus, a leading figure in the history of Christian mysticism and spirituality. First published in the 16th century, this work has become an essential reference for all those who seek to deepen their spiritual life and achieve a more intimate connection with the divine. Throughout its forty-two chapters, Saint Teresa immerses us in a profound and revealing journey. With captivating prose and a poetic style, the author guides us on a journey through the paths of the soul, revealing the secrets of union with God and showing us the way to spiritual perfection. From the very beginning of the book, St Teresa captivates us with her frankness and sincerity. She speaks from her own experience, sharing her struggles, challenges and triumphs on the spiritual path. Through her narrative, she invites us to reflect on our own inner life and offers us practical advice for moving forward on the path to perfection. The book focuses on the importance of prayer and contemplation as fundamental tools for achieving union with God. St Teresa teaches us how to cultivate a life of constant and profound prayer, emphasising the importance of interior recollection and full attention to the divine presence. She also encourages us to seek solitude and silence as spaces conducive to encountering the divine. In "The Way of Perfection", St. Teresa also addresses the importance of humility, obedience and total surrender to the will of God. She exhorts us to renounce our ego and worldly desires, inviting us to embrace virtue and to follow the example of Christ in our daily lives. Through his words, we discover the beauty and transformative power of a life centred on love and selfless service. The book is not only limited to the spiritual dimension, but also touches on practical aspects of daily life. St Teresa offers advice on the importance of discipline, perseverance and the good use of time. She encourages us to live in a balanced way, devoting time to both our earthly responsibilities and our inner life. "The Way of Perfection is a work of profound wisdom and literary beauty. Through reading it, we find a reliable and valuable guide that takes us by the hand on our spiritual journey. It challenges us, inspires us and invites us to go beyond our limits, to seek transcendence and to discover fulfilment in communion with the divine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the reception of the Eastern Father Gregory of Nyssa has varied over the centuries, the past few decades have witnessed a profound awakening of interest in his thought. The Body and Desire sets out to retrieve the full range of Gregory’s thinking on the challenges of the ascetic life by examining within the context of his theological commitments his evolving attitudes on what we now call gender, sex, and sexuality. Exploring Gregory’s understanding of the importance of bodily and spiritual maturation for the practices of contemplation and virtue, Raphael A. Cadenhead recovers the vital relevance of this vision of transformation for contemporary ethical discourse.

Download or read book Wandering, Begging Monks written by Daniel Folger Caner and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-05-12 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An apostolic lifestyle characterized by total material renunciation, homelessness, and begging was practiced by monks throughout the Roman Empire in the fourth and fifth centuries. Such monks often served as spiritual advisors to urban aristocrats whose patronage gave them considerable authority and independence from episcopal control. This book is the first comprehensive study of this type of Christian poverty and the challenge it posed for episcopal authority and the promotion of monasticism in late antiquity. Focusing on devotional practices, Daniel Caner draws together diverse testimony from Egypt, Syria, Asia Minor, and elsewhere—including the Pseudo-Clementine Letters to Virgins, Augustine's On the Work of Monks, John Chrysostom's homilies, legal codes—to reveal gospel-inspired patterns of ascetic dependency and teaching from the third to the fifth centuries. Throughout, his point of departure is social and cultural history, especially the urban social history of the late Roman empire. He also introduces many charismatic individuals whose struggle to persist against church suppression of their chosen way of imitating Christ was fought with defiant conviction, and the book includes the first annotated English translation of the biography of Alexander Akoimetos (Alexander the Sleepless). Wandering, Begging Monks allows us to understand these fascinating figures of early Christianity in the full context of late Roman society.
