In her life she reconciled aspects of spirituality often seen to be either mutually exclusive or in conflict. This married lay woman was both a mystic and a humanitarian, a constant contemplative, yet daily immersed in the physical care of the sick and the destitute.

  • The Theological Themes in Newman's Dream of Gerontius

    The Theological Themes in Newman's Dream of Gerontius

    Theological themes in Newman’s Dream of Gerontius 1 Newman’s Theology in the Dream of Gerontius, Juan R. Vélez G., New Blackfriars, Vol. 82, No. 967 (2001), 387-398. Newman’s theology in the “Dream of Gerontius” (This version had some minor changes for publication). On the second centennial of Venerable John Henry Newman’s birth (1801-1890) we wish to draw attention to his celebrated Dream of Gerontius. Newman once humbly remarked to a friend that “It was written by accident – and it was published by accident.”1, yet his personal history proves otherwise; it was the fruit of many years of agonizing study and prayer leading him to the Roman Catholic Church. It is rightly considered by some a major contribution to Roman Catholic spirituality and doctrine which continues to inspire the theology and piety of men and women. The Dream of Gerontius expresses in poetical form many truths of Catholic dogma concerning creation, redemption and eschatology. This, Newman’s longest poem, composed in 1865, almost twenty years after his entrance into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church, underscores his Catholic beliefs in the mysterious complementarity between God’s justice and mercy whereby at the particular judgment, some souls require a final preparation for heaven. In his Plain and Parochial Sermons Newman had rebutted the 19th century denial of possible eternal damnation. In the Dream of Gerontius, he emphasized God’s merciful dispensation that broadness the narrow fundamentalist perspective of heaven or hell. In this important work, eschatology is intertwinned with Christology and Christian anthropology. Furthermore, the seeds of an ecclesiology of communion are present as a dominant theme.
