The Life of Blessed Henry Suso by Himself The Life of Blessed Henry Suso by Himself. Author(s): Seuse, Heinrich (or Suso, Heinrich) [1295-1366] Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Imagine bearing a cross to remind you of Christ©s sacrifice. This is a common practice in Christianity -- contemplating the pain Christ bore for our sins. But now imagine bearing a cross, literally. This is what Henry Suso did for much of his life. Suso was so adamant about feeling Christ©s pain and being reminded of his own ineptitude that he drove nails and needles into a wooden cross and strapped it to his back.This practice of self-harm for religious purposes is known as mortification, and Suso©s autobiography profiles a perfect example of this unique custom. Along with many chapters on his suffering and how he made it through, Suso writes of his family, his conversion, and how God blessed his work. This autobiography is a provoking look into Suso©s life, and the intensity of his faith and actions will spur many believers to reevaluate their lifestyle and perhaps make some changes. We don©t all have to wear a literal cross, but Suso will inspire many to think of Christ©s sacrifice in a new way.

THE LIFE OF i BLESSED HENRY SUSO BY HIMSELF Translated from the original German BY THOMAS FRANCIS KNOX, PRIEST OF THE ORATORY LONDON: BURNS, LAMBERT, AND OATES, 17 Portman Street and 63 Paternoster Row. 1865. ii LONDON: ROBSON AND SON, GREAT NORTHERN PRINTING WORKS, PANCRAS ROAD, N.W. 1 Prefatory Material. Translator’sPrefatory Material. Preface. TRANSLATOR’S PREFACE. iii THE Blessed Henry Suso was born at Ueberlingen, near Constance, on St. Benedict’s- day, A.D. 1300. He was of ancient and noble descent both on his father’s and mother’s side. Out of devotion to his mother, who was a person of eminent holiness, he called himself by her maiden name of Seuss, Latinised into Suso, instead of taking his father’s sur name, Von Berg. His baptismal name was Henry; but many years later, when he had attained to great holiness, God changed his name into Amandus, or Beloved. The Blessed Henry did not make this known to any one so long as he lived, but a record of it was discovered among his papers after his death. At the age of thirteen he entered the novitiate of the Dominican Convent at Constance, where he was admitted to the vows of religion, and after some years was sent to the convent of his Order at Cologne, to pursue his studies at that University. While there he made such great progress in learning that he was about to be promoted to the degree of doctor in theology. But he was forbidden to accept this honour by a voice from God within him saying:—Thou knowest well enough already how to give thyself to God and to draw other men to Him by thy preaching. From that time forth he began to preach with great zeal and fervour, and to devote himself to the conversion of sinners and the guidance of souls along the highest paths of mystical perfection. At length, after many years iv of unceasing labours and sufferings, he died at Ulm, on the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul, A.D. 1365, and was buried in the cloister of the Dominican Convent in that city. Two hundred and forty-eight years after this, when Ulm had become Protestant, the B. Henry’s body was accidentally discovered, A.D. 1613, by some workmen who were digging the foundations for^a new building. It was quite incorrupt, and lay there clothed in the habit of the Order, and emitted a fragrant odour. The workmen went in alarm to inform the burgomaster, who bade them fill up the grave and say nothing about it; adding, that he had always heard that the dead should be allowed to rest in peace.

  • Following His Footsteps by Anselmo Del Alamo
    Following His Footsteps by Anselmo del Alamo Notice: Following His Footsteps (Siguiendo Sus Huellas) was published in Spain in 1963. The complete text is available only in Spanish. Some chapters have been translated into English and are available here. Contents. Chapter 6. The Interior Life, the Kingdom of God. Chapter 7. Mortification, Suffering. Chapter 8. Crosses. Chapter 22: The Last Things: Death and Judgment, Hell and Glory Chapter 6. The Interior Life, the Kingdom of God, Temple of the Holy Spirit Perhaps the experience of living has provided you with the knowledge that if it is joyful giving, it is even more joyful giving oneself. When you truly begin to experience it, you will be more like God, and you will participate more in his paternity. The interior life is nothing else than the development of grace within us. This seed of divinity, of immortality, is nothing else than a participation in his life, a spark of his love, a free gift of himself. It is given to us so that we may be a kingdom, an interior empire inside ourselves, with a throne, a scepter and a crown, a sanctuary of prayer and adoration, where he wants to be adored in spirit and in truth. Acknowledge your dignity: esteem and be grateful for his wonderful gift. 1. We should be intimately persuaded that just one interior soul, a soul that tends to perfection, gives more glory to God than millions of mediocre religious or Christians. Dom Godfrey Belorgey 2. In the saints, the Holy Ghost, together with the Father and with the Son, makes his dwelling in the most interior part of the soul, that is, he lives there, like God in his own temple.

  • Church Teachings on Stewardship
    STEWARDSHIP CHALLENGES: CHURCH TEACHING ON STEWARDSHIP “Do not turn your back on the needy, but share everything with your brother and call nothing your own. For if you have what is eternal in common, how much more should you have what is transient.” Didache 4:8 “Possessions are gifts from God and are more for the sake of the brethren than one’s own soul. The Christian should not carry them about in his soul, nor allow them to bind and circumscribe his life. He is able with cheerful mind to bear their removal equally with their abundance.” St. Clement of Alex, 200 A.D. “For whatever is of God is common in our use, nor is anyone excluded from his benefits and his gifts, so as to prevent the whole human race from enjoying equally the divine goodness and liberality… In this example of equality, he who, as a possessor in the earth, shares his returns and his fruits with fraternity, while his is common and just in his gratuitous bounties, is an imitator of God the Father. St. Cyprian, Carthage 250 A.D. “Tell me, how is it that you are rich? From whom did you receive your wealth? And he, whom did he receive it from? From his grandfather, you say, from his father. By climbing this genealogical tree are you able to show the justice of this possession? Of course you cannot; rather its beginning and root have necessarily come out of injustice…Do not say, ‘I am spending what is mine; I am enjoying what is mine.’ In reality it is not yours but another’s.

    JFRIARS~+BOOKSHElf + + I The Immaculate Conception: History, Dogma, Devotion. By the Rev. Bernard A. McKenna, D. D. Pp. xv-654. Washington, D. C.: Cath­ olic University of America. $10.00. The subject of this volume is one dear to the heart of every true Catholic but especially to the Catholics of the United States who are in a particular manner dedicated to the Blessed Mother of God under the title of the Immaculate Conception. We, above others, should be solicitous to know about this doctrine for our own enlightenment and benefit as well as for the enlightenment of many not of our belief who stumble over this dogma of Catholic faith. This volume carries an appeal that cannot go unheeded. It contains doctrine and teaching that we should know. It appears at a particularly happy time in view of the coming celebration of the diamond jubilee of the declaration of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception. Dr. McKenna has divided his work into four parts; the first, on the dogma, certain aspects of its history and devotion, entirely in English; the second, on the same subjects in foreign texts; the third, historical documents, classical works and bibliography; and the fourth, appendices of true devotion to the Blessed Virgin, the Vatican mosaic of the Immaculate Conception, and the Chair of the Immac­ ulate Conception at the Catholic University of America. The first part, one hundred and seventy-seven pages, contains an English trans­ lation of the Ineffabilis Deus, the encyclical of Pius IX, in which he declares and defines the dogma of the Immaculate Conception.
