Book Synopsis Catherine de Hueck Doherty by : Catherine de Hueck Doherty
Download or read book Catherine de Hueck Doherty written by Catherine de Hueck Doherty and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catherine de Hueck Doherty (1896-1985), a Russian-born aristocrat who has recently been proposed for canonization, emigrated to North America, dedicated her life to promoting "the gospel without compromise." Her vision combined a deep spirituality with a commitment to social justice. One of her early projects was the Harlem-based Friendship House, which attracted a young Thomas Merton. Later, with her second husband, Eddie Doherty, she established Madonna House in Combermere, Ontario. 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. These writings, drawn from 25 books, highlight her distinctive spirituality, with its emphasis on the presence of God, the practice of prayer, a love for the church, and a deep apprehension of the social dimension of the gospel.

Download or read book Strannik written by Catherine Doherty and published by Combermere, Ont. : Madonna House Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strannik is the Russian word for "pilgrim," one with a vocation-a unique, holy calling. Pilgrimage is more than something you `do.' `Being a pilgrim' consumes all of you. The pilgrim is to "be the Gospel and to preach it with his words and with his being." In Strannik, Catherine shows that pilgrimage is not just something for a few spiritual ascetics with wanderlust. Even less does it resemble the modern tourist-style `pilgrimages' that try to cover as many holy places as possible in the briefest time possible. Rather, the true strannik begins by looking within the self, where God already is. While the author does tell us about external pilgrimages such as she herself experienced as a child in Russia, the pilgrimages she is writing about are principally interior. Pilgrimage comes out of a quest for God. Catherine speaks of the "nostalgia for paradise" which all human beings have experienced since Adam and Eve. Without Christ we cannot complete our journey. "Christ was the pilgrim who pilgrimed from the bosom of the Father to the hearts of men and women."

Book Synopsis Word From Poustinia, Book I by : Robert Wild
Download or read book Word From Poustinia, Book I written by Robert Wild and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2018-11-28 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: I live in one of the poustinias at the Madonna House. As many people know from Catherine Doherty’s book Poustinia, the word means “desert” in Russian. A poustinia is a small cabin where people ordinarily go for a day of prayer and fasting, though some, like myself, live there several days a week as a way of life. This book contains “words” that I heard the Lord speaking to me. Many of them were shared at the Eucharist in the form of homilies; some were originally in the form of letters sent to my Madonna House family; some few were written for publication elsewhere; still others were jotted down for no particular reason. Writing from the poustinia is one of my ways of preaching the good news of Jesus, the exalted and unmerited privilege for which I was ordained.

He only fed them a day at a time. I think some of the deepest truths about life are those which God gives us fresh every day. I was thinking of calling this second volume Manna, Food for Only a Day. This is some of the manna with which the Lord fed me.

Catherine guides us along the pathway that takes us home, to God's house, into the grace intimacy of eternal belonging; to a place that is hard to get to, yet one that lives within and beyond the ever-present confusion, fear and loneliness of our daily existence. She takes us by the hand, becomes our companion on the ultimate journey--into an experience of the mysterious depths of intimacy in, through, and with God.

The unselfish life is reclaimed, one that discovers abundant life with God and thus within the soul, within nature, within interpersonal relations, within the cosmos.
