Book Synopsis St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross on THE BEATITUDES by : Thomas M. Reid Ocds
Download or read book St. Teresa of Jesus and St. John of the Cross on THE BEATITUDES written by Thomas M. Reid Ocds and published by R. R. Bowker. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apart from the doctrine of the cross and the doctrine of the Holy Eucharist, the core of the teaching of Christ on what it means to live a Christian life is contained in the Sermon on the Mount. At the very center of the Sermon on the Mount are the Beatitudes. The most complete and profound exposition of the spiritual life and all its dynamics of alternating consolations and purgations leading to perfection of the human soul are contained in the writings of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. Both are Doctors of the Church and members of the Discalced Carmelite Order as it existed in the sixteenth century. They are Doctors of the Church because what they taught about the spiritual life is applicable to all Christians. Therefore, we would expect to find a connection to the Beatitudes in their spiritual doctrine if their doctrine is to be accepted as authentic Christian teaching. This book brings together the spiritual doctrine of these two Carmelite saints and the Beatitudes taught by Christ in the Sermon on the Mount, demonstrating the universality of both teachings and their connection to each other.
Book Synopsis The Way of Transformation by : Mark O'Keefe, OSB
Download or read book The Way of Transformation written by Mark O'Keefe, OSB and published by ICS Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way of Transformation is a play on the title of St. Teresa’s classic The Way of Perfection. Written for her Discalced Carmelite nuns, it is nonetheless considered Teresa’s “operations manual” for anyone genuinely committed to the spiritual life. But by “perfection” she doesn’t intend the futile pursuit of idealized flawlessness, as some might think. Rather, Teresa means achieving an authentic human fulfillment—a true becoming of that person we are meant to be. Offering a fresh perspective on St. Teresa’s thought, Father Mark O’Keefe draws our attention to the central fact that she considers the virtues—especially love of neighbor, detachment, and humility—as the essential and ever-relevant foundation for her spirituality of prayer. This very human Doctor of the Church teaches that—whether in the 16th century or the 21st— prayer is intimately and necessarily linked with personal transformation. Authentic prayer is never divorced from our daily living: God, Teresa reminds us, “walks among the pots and pans.” With attention-catching quotations, helpful questions for personal reflection or group discussion, and its comprehensive index, The Way of Transformation is an excellent resource for any serious student of St. Teresa of Jesus and a must-read for everyone looking to explore Christian spirituality and prayer more deeply and authentically.

Download or read book The Way of Perfection written by Teresa Of Avila and published by . This book was released on 2024-06-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This famous spiritual classic makes known St. Teresa's wonderful combination of common sense, strong Catholic Faith, and amazing spiritual energy. In this book, she shares her own ardent spirit, encouraging us in our efforts to serve God and assuring us that these efforts will be rewarded far beyond what we could ever imagine. St. Teresa gives many fascinating insights into the spiritual life regarding relatives, confessors, health, the snares of Satan, supernatural vs. natural love, and more. She also explains what contemplation is and how it differs from ordinary mental and vocal prayer. In the process, she analyzes the Our Father phrase by phrase, explaining how to transform our vocal prayer into mental prayer. St. Teresa assures us that those who practice this simple mental prayer may hope that God will grant them the "prayer of quiet," which is the beginning of contemplation and of God's heavenly "Kingdom" enjoyed even on this earth.

Download or read book Walking with Mary written by Edward Sri and published by Image. This book was released on 2013-09-10 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mary appears only a few times in the Bible, but those few passages come at crucial moments. Catholics believe that Mary is the ever-virgin Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven and Earth. But she also was a human being--a woman who made a journey of faith through various trials and uncertainties and endured her share of suffering. Even with her unique graces and vocation, Mary remains a woman we can relate to and from whom we have much to learn. In Walking with Mary, Edward Sri looks at the crucial passages in the Bible concerning Mary and offers insight about the Blessed Mother's faith and devotion that we can apply in our daily lives. We follow her step-by-step through the New Testament account of her life, reflecting on what the Scriptures tell us about how she responded to the dramatic events unfolding around her. “This book is the fruit of my personal journey of studying Mary through the Scriptures, from her initial calling in Nazareth to her painful experience at the cross,” writes Edward Sri “It is intended to be a highly readable, accessible work that draws on wisdom from the Catholic tradition, recent popes, and biblical scholars of a variety of perspectives and traditions. With the riches of these insights, we will ponder what her journey of faith may have been like in order to draw out spiritual lessons for our own walk with God.” He add, “It is my hope, therefore, that whether you are of a Catholic, Protestant, or other faith background, this book may help you to know, understand, and love Mary more, and that it may inspire you to walk in her footsteps as a faithful disciple of the Lord in your own pilgrimage of faith.”

Book Synopsis St. Teresa of Jesus of the Order of Our Lady of Carmel by : Teresa Jesus
Download or read book St. Teresa of Jesus of the Order of Our Lady of Carmel written by Teresa Jesus and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-02-17 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the autobiography of Saint Teresa followed by the Foundations she made in her life. THE fascination and influence of a great personality stretch throughout time with a message for every age. Teresa of Jesus, truest and soundest of mystics, rich in subjective experiences, yet richer in self-effacement before the glory of the most High God; most independent yet most submissive of women, untiring in labours, exalted in prayer-the message of such a one to our times is too obvious to need comment. A reprint of her works needs no explanation. The test of three and a half centuries of trial has been applied to her books and has proved them worthy of the life-long reading of all spiritually-minded Christians. Her sympathetic and unconventional style is a crystal medium of communication between herself and any human soul. Given a reader with any degree of devout receptivity and St. Teresa's writings are quickly established among his master books, to be used occasionally all through life, in many cases to be used unceasingly. They may, therefore, be read by persons in all states and conditions of life in Holy Church, who are in the least degree desirous of Christian perfection. Nor is this privilege the monopoly only of the more perfect Christians; a soul but newly converted from the most degrading vice, if he be only intensely converted, can get some profit and very practical profit from every page of these messages of a fellow mortal raised to the highest sanctity. Her literary abilities make this reading a delight. Her words written as they were in the golden age of her native tongue are ranked among the best Castilian classics. The style is flowing yet terse. There is not the faintest suspicion of verbiage, yet she possesses the diffusivenesses of description so necessary in discoursing of topics where the least shade of meaning ministers to the essential needs of integral information. In so typical a contemplative one might expect to find a retlnng timorous soul: Teresa was retiring, indeed, and craved passionately to be alone with God. But in reading her "Life" and "Letters," and especially her "Book of Foundations," we become acquainted with an independent even an aggressive temperament, full of initiative, venturesome, resourceful, even bold to the verge of audacity-all this exhibited not simply as a result of the supernatural gift of 'fortitude; but, in a certain degree, of her native and instinctive qualities. Some little girls forecast their future vocation by playing nun; she did so by actually striving to become a martyr for Christ. Her's was naturally the reverse of a yielding, pliant nature. During her early years, both at home and at boarding school, though a sweet-tempered guileless child, she was self-willed. When her father refused his consent to her entering the convent, she left her home and joined the Sisters against his will. From the beginning to the end of her life she exhibited great self-poise of character. Even after God had terribly chastened her by interior anguish and bodily illness extending over many years, and had begun to illumine her soul with a miraculous guidance, He yet did not hinder her from thinking for herself. Though, as we shall see, He granted her heroic grace of obedience to superiors. After he had elevated her motives and had bestowed on her the rarest gifts of infused prayer, she still retained the original native force; and she responded to His inspiration for introducing the Carmelite reform by a strikingly fearless plan of action.

Saint Teresa of Jesus, you were a daughter of the Church, a humble servant of God, a reformer, a mystic, and a great beacon of light for all. Please pray for me as I prayerfully reflect upon the lessons you have taught. Through your intercession, may I discover the presence of God Who dwells within me, journeying ever deeper to the center of my soul where the Great King resides. Saint Teresa of Jesus, pray for us. Jesus, I trust in You. For more information, you can view this book online for free from our website at: www.mycatholic.life.
