This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Spiritual Life, Doctrine and Practice of Christian Perfection Silence is an asset capable of very diverse investment. One may be fond of silence and loneliness because he is stupid, or ignorant; or because he wishes to spite his friends - a sullen silence, grieving those whose happiness depends on his kind words. Perhaps it may be the shyness of a bashful spirit that makes us hold our peace - a form of human respect. But religious solitariness is that prayerful wisdom which finds the soul's best solace in conversing alone with God. "Imagine, in the simplicity of thy heart, that thou art out of the world with God, that thou art already in eternity, separated from the body, and no longer disturbed by the things of earth" - an exhortation of Blessed Albertus Magnus, which needs but a grammatical re setting to become a definition of religious solitude. Let us realize that it is God's plan to sanctify us one by one. Holiness is indeed imparted by the outward medium of the Sacraments, yet it is an inward process. Now, "silence is the conversation of the divinity, the language of the angels, the eloquence of heaven, the art of persuading God." So said de Rance who had known all the joys and all the benefits of speech in his life in the world, and of silence in his life at La Trappe. Trust him with the scales for adjusting their relative value. We cannot conceive of anyone acquiring an intimate love of God, or a deep grief for sin, except he be fond of spiritual retirement. Holy love and holy sorrow are fruit of the tree of solitude. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Theology of Christian Perfection written by Antonio Royo Marin and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-16 with total page 705 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best manual of spiritual theology which has appeared to date--the most ordered and complete--a true summa of spirituality. This is a work of extraordinary informative value and yet possessing a notable doctrinal solidaity. This encomium of M. M. Philipon, laudatory as it is, does less than justice to this modern classic, now at last appearing in English in a smooth, readable translation and adaptation by Fr. Aumann. For in reality this is three books in one volume. First of all, this is a textbook, a manual whose lucid and orderly presentation of the basic principles of the spiritual life, of the supernatural organism, and of its progressive development recommends it unreservedly for seminarians and other serious students of spiritual theology. As Garrigou-Lagrange points out, the author's order has permitted him to treat all the important questions relative to perfection and to show clearly the basic unity of the Christian life. Thorough and solid as it is, however--firmly based on the chief masters of the spiritual life, St. Thomas, St. John of the Cross, and St. Teresa of Avila--this truly theological synthesis is set forth in clear and accessible form, as its widespread popularity in Spain (four editions in six years) attests. But The Theology of Christian Perfection is perhaps even more valuable as a work of spiritual formation. It is an eminently practical manual of sound advice, counsel, and direction with respect to the increasingly fruitful use of the means, negative and positive, for advancing in perfection. As such, it will be immediately valuable for spiritual directors, an indispensable aid for self-formation, and a work of precious merit for all souls desirous of spiritual advancement.

WHAT I purpose in the following pages is, to give a plain and distinct account of the steps by which I was led, during the course of many years, to embrace the doctrine of Christian Perfection. This I owe to the serious part of mankind; those who desire to know all the truth as it is in Jesus. And these only are concerned with questions of this kind. To these I would nakedly declare the thing as it is, endeavoring all along to show, from one period to another, both what I thought, and why I thought so."

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.

This book was released on 2018-08-15 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imprimatur. PREFACE In the ascetical writings of the holy Bishop and Doctor of the Church, St. Alphonsus de Ligouri, there is a characteristic charm and an irresistible attraction. Whoever reads them with the proper dispositions will discover in them an indefinable something that appeals to the heart and stirs it to its very depths. We imagine we see the loving personality of the holy Bishop before us, and hear the words of eternal life from his very lips. According to a beautiful legend, the visitor at the shrine of St. John at Ephesus can hear the pulsations of the Saint's heart enclosed in the tomb. The heart of Alphonsus still throbs in his ascetical writings, where the whole being of the Saint seems enshrined. Little wonder therefore that the reverence and love entertained towards him in life should have passed to his edifying works, the reflex of his very self. There are few ascetical writers more widely known and more sincerely loved than St. Alphonsus. The present volume is made up of choice selections from the various ascetical writings of the Saint. The order of virtues considered is that followed by the spiritual sons of St. Alphonsus in the Congregation of the Most Holy Redeemer. For each month of the year is assigned a particular virtue to which they are to devote their especial attention. This is a practice highly recommended by the masters of the spiritual life, and is fraught with the happiest results. It is hoped that the faithful will derive spiritual profit and pleasure from this course in "The School of Christian Perfection." C. J. W. ST.

Download or read book Practice of Perfection and Christian Virtues Volume Three written by Alphonsus Rodriguez Sj and published by Caritas Publishing. This book was released on 2021-11-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ARE YOU ADVANCING IN YOUR SPIRITUAL LIFE? Translated from the original Spanish by Fr. Joseph Rickaby, SJ, this book is a tool to help you progress further in your spiritual life. As Jesus exhorted, "You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect;" as holy Church teaches, we cannot see God face-to-face until we, ourselves, are also "perfect." These three volumes present in a clear manner what constitutes perfection, and how to grow in it by the cultivation of the virtues. It is very specific and practical, and by the grace of God, you will be enabled to run in the way of God's commands, heart overflowing with the inexpressible delights of Love. Fr. Alphonsus Rodriguez, born in Spain, 1526, lived during a time when the Jesuits were elite troops in the battle for the salvation of souls. Rodriguez was a priest of exemplary virtue; in the Society he was entrusted for many years with the high responsibility of care of souls and exhorting the brethren. The present volumes are the fruit of those labors. From the author: "I reflected that it is a practice very much recommended by saints, to read something every day that may promote our spiritual advancement. This being the principal design of the following work, I have laid before you, as clearly and briefly as I was able, such things as are more essential. These will serve as a mirror wherein, if we daily view ourselves, we shall be enabled to correct our imperfections and decorate our souls as will render them most pleasing to the eyes of His Divine Majesty. I call it Practice because things are treated in such a manner as may render the practice very easy." Although addressed to his Jesuit brethren, he wrote this work to be useful to all persons who aspire to Christian perfection.
