We usually sum up this tremendous experience a short way, we say perhaps, “the soul sees God face to face.” Or we say, “ the soul sees itself in a new way.” Fr Ruotolo tries to bring in the great variety of details that make up the one supreme moment of entering Purgatory and Heaven after judgment. He also tries to show the soul that sees itself as it really is, judges itself and recognizes its place in the next life. To paint this picture demands a good background in theology, a poetic imagination and a mystical bent of mind. Fr Ruotolo evidently has these native and acquired abilities, and has painted a convincing picture in his native Italian. The translator is always at a disadvantage in trying to retain the force and the beauty of the original language. Those who read the English version here can rest assured that the translation is faithful in a literal way to the original. But readers need reflection and meditation to penetrate to and enjoy the story of a human soul going through judgment and entering Purgatory and Heaven. It is the ultimate in adventure. Let’s hope the English version of Fr. Ruotolo lights a spark for its readers that will allow a glimpse of the great adventure. Rev. Fr Christopher Rengers OFM cap. Second Preface Crosier Community Onamia, Minnesota April 13,2008 As a member of the Roman Catholic Canons Regular of the Order of the Holy Cross, known as the Crosier Fathers, I was a member of our Maryland community. It was there that I became acquainted with Giovanna Invitti Ellis and she introduced me to the book entitled, “Chi Morrà, Vedrà. Purgatorio e Paradiso” (Who Dies Shall See. Purgatory and Heaven) by Father Dolindo Ruotolo, on the so-called last things: death, judgment, heaven, hell and purgatory. Giovanna has been translating the text into English and has asked me to help with her English translation. I feel privileged to be part of this project.1 In the course of this work, I have been impressed with Father Dolindo’s sound theology, his ability to apply Sacred Doctrine, and his obvious concern that our Catholic Faith is understood and appreciated. May God bless our efforts! Rev. Father Raymond Steffes OSC 1 Fr. Steffes has edited, along Fr. Christopher Rengers OFM cap, also the book of Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo “Meditation on the Holy Rosary”. It is interesting that the Luminous Mysteries of the ‘Meditation’, give a glimpse of the colossal work of Don Dolindo on the Comment to the Sacred Scripture with passages from the Gospels of St. Luke and St. John that became necessary to add after Pope John Paul II announced them. 6 Introduction When a book of Don Dolindo is presented to the public it is difficult not to repeat oneself. However even if this may happen, since his works are so highly interesting, it is easy to be forgiven. Don Dolindo is guided by only one impulse: his ardent love for the Lord. Don Dolindo cannot contain this love for himself, he feels it is his duty to share it among his fellowmen with his word and his writings. Even if I know very well his books already printed, and those that are in the process to be edited and be ready for publication, I remain always surprise by the extraordinary number of his books. How did Don Dolindo find the time needed for such an incredibly huge amount of works? Everyday he received scores of people who wanted to ask his advice and the comfort of his inspired word; he dedicated long hours to prayer and the reading of the Holy Fathers; in the last ten years of his life his arthritis and his paralysis made it very difficult for him even the physical ability to write. And yet he could multiply time in a marvelous way, he gave non-stop, like “acqua che d’alta vena preme” (water flowing down from a rich source). Friends, faithful and admirers of this holy Priest and exceptional Neapolitan writer, have spoken over and over again about his stupendous amount of comment on all the Sacred Scriptures. This work alone of thirty-three volumes fills a library! At the same time other works of his have been published, the most inspiring and beautiful “Letters to Priests” in two volumes; “Three young women in the streets”, narrated by the young women themselves because of a very inspiring apostolate of Don Dolindo; this book is so highly inspired that I would recommend reading it to everybody.

  • The Ascent of Man
    The Ascent of Man HY MATHILDE BLIND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY <8S5 ALFRED R. WALLACE fit iriri LONDON: T. FISHER UNWIN PATERNOSTER SQUARE. 1899 [All rights rcseived.] INTRODUCTORY NOTE ' I 'HE subject of Evolution offers grand material for the poet of the future, but hitherto few have taken advantage of it. Tennyson was the first, and still remains unsurpassed in those " " exquisite verses of In Memoriam which deal with it. The late " F. T. Palgrave in his poem, The Voices of Nature," made use of it in special relation to the spiritual nature of man, and in " The Reign of Law," " Vox Dei," and one or two other short poems, he refers to it. But it was reserved for the authoress of this volume to make it the subject of an important and lengthy poem, devoted more especially to Man —physical, intellectual, and spiritual —in his relation to the Cosmos, to the lower forms of life, and to the Deity. Her treatment of the subject, if not altogether satisfactory — and it is doubtful whether any living writer could treat it in a manner and with a power fully worthy of the theme — is undoubtedly poetical, and is imbued with modern ideas, though, as was perhaps inevitable, it deals more with the social and spiritual vi Introductory Note aspects of the subject than with those which are purely scientific, though these latter are by no means neglected. She appears to have taken her main inspiration from Darwin's " Descent of Man," and she anticipated Professor Drummond both as to his title and in some of his main conceptions.

  • Experiences of a Pilgrim Soul
    EXPERIENCES OF A PILGRIM SOUL Experiences Of A Pilgrim Soul Kavi Yogi Mahrshi Dr Shuddhananda Bharathi (Auto Biography) Published BY Shuddhananda Library, Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai 600 041. Ph: 97911 77741 Copy Right : @Shuddhananda Yoga Samaj(Regd), Shuddhananda Nagar, Sivaganga - 630 551 EXPERIENCES OF A PILGRIM SOUL EXPERIENCES OF A PILGRIM SOUL PART I 1. TO FELLOW PILGRIMS We are all Pilgrims of Eternity coming from an unknown past, living in a multicol- oured universe and passing into a mystic future. Whence we come and where we go, we know not: but we come and go playing our role in this evolutionary drama of Existence! Who exists, why, how and who started this cosmic play and what is its goal? – every intelligent man and woman must find out an answer to these age–long inquiries. Through the dark inferno, burning purgatory and pleasing paradise of this mounting Divina Commedia, a rhythmic heartbeat keeps time to a mystic song whose refrain is, “I am Aum”. Who is this ‘I’—that is the first person in us, and the baffling personality in the second and the third persons? That universal ‘I’ in the individual, is the Pilgrim Soul here. Fellow Pilgrims, pray walk with him as he talks with you. These are random footprints left on the sands of Time by the patient Pilgrim whose plodding steps met with grim trials in the ups and downs of human destiny. Hard was his lonely journey, long his search in the tangled woodlands of cosmic life and high was the aim of his inner aspiration guided and fulfilled by a Pure Almighty Grace–Light.

  • The Poems of Henry Van Dyke
    THE POEMS OF HENRY VAN DYKE NOW FIRST COLLECTED AND REVISED WITH MANY HITHERTO UNPUBLISHED NEW YORK CHARLES SCRIBNER S SONS MCMXI Copyright, 1911, by Charles Scribner s Sons Published September, 1011 A &quot; A WORD IN PROSE TO MY GENTLE READER Tins book is intended only for you, because you alone will keep it with you long enough to feel its meaning. Plere is gathered and set in order all that I have been per mitted to write, as yet, of the poetry that has come to me. I hoped once that it would be more, and feared often that it might be less. The long silent interval between the earlier and the later poems was filled with hard work at the call of duty. I have laboured in the vineyard and fought in the ranks. The youthful plan of a whole life devoted to the art of poetry has not been fulfilled. Instead has come an experience of the power of poetry to cheer and illumine the whole of life. Metre and rhyme have a deep relation to the rhythm of human emotion, of which I grow more sure the less I can explain it. Some call them a bondage, but the natural harmony of such laws makes for true freedom. Therefore, while using the older metri cal forms with love and care, I have also adventured new ones, believing that English poesy has to win a larger liberty in those happy regions which lie between the formal and the formless. What I have seen and felt and dreamed beyond the horizon of prose, yet ever in the most real world, is here interpreted in verse.

C!%%&*& 1 The Lake Isle of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow, And evening full of the linnet’s wings. I will arise and go now, for always night and day I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore; While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core. 2 When You are Old When you are old and grey and full of sleep, And nodding by the fire, take down this book, And slowly read, and dream of the soft look Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep; How many loved your moments of glad grace, And loved your beauty with love false or true, But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you, And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars, Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled And paced upon the mountains overhead And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

  • Divine Comedy
    Divine Comedy 295 Inferno T. S. Eliot wrote, “Dante and Shakespeare divide the world between them. There is no third.” Without a doubt, Dante (c.1265-1321) is one of the supreme poets of history, and his Divine Comedy one of the supreme achievements of literature. He wrote in the vernacular (Italian rather than Latin), thus helping to shift the world from “Roman” broadly speaking into the “romance” of modern Europe. Born in Florence, Dante was a vigorous participant in the political life of that Republic. His family was Guelph, which put them on the side of the papacy over against the Holy Roman Emperor in the Florentine power game. When the Guelphs won the struggle for control of Florence (at the 1289 Battle of Campaldino, in which Dante fought), they broke into two further factions: the Whites and the Blacks. Dante became a White Guelph, siding with those who wanted less interference from the Pope in the temporal affairs of the city. The Black Guelphs won in 1301 and exiled Dante, who would never return to Florence. In exile, he wrote The Divine Comedy, which sets the drama of human life within a vitally imaginative context of ultimate consequences. This context makes action freer by making it more thoughtful. Troubadour poetry was a formative influence on Dante, as was Thomistic theology. What Dante presents is a cosmic-Christian romance. The poem was composed between c.1308 and 1320, in three great parts. It supposedly recounts Dante’s journey through the three realms of the dead, from the night before Good Friday to Easter Wednesday in 1300, guided by Virgil through the Inferno (hell) and most of Purgatory and by his beloved Beatrice through Paradise.
