Catherine was the youngest Sof twenty-fve children – a large family even by the standards of the day. However, her father was a well-to-do businessman and supported the family well. At an early age, Catherine spoke of visions; those visions sealed her vocation. Her parents coaxed her toward the usual interests of personal appearance and marriage, but she would have none of that. She cut of her golden-brown hair and dedicated her life to God. She was a fery, determined and, at times, pompous woman. She eventually joined the Dominican order – not as a vowed religious nun, but as a member of the “third order,” in which women dedicated their lives to God in the Dominican tradition but lived in their own homes and worked to support themselves. To keep the numbers of clergy at a sufcient number, little attention was paid to the quality of the candidates for C4 Meditation Nineteen priesthood.

Catherine of Genoa (}4-17-15101 Catherine, who lived for 60 years and died early in the 16th century. leads the modern reader directly to the more significant issues of the day. 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. For the last five centuries she has been the inspiration of such spiritual greats as Francis de Sales, Robert Bellarmine, Fenelon. Newman and Hecker.

  • The Role of Creatures in the Spiritual Life
    THE ROLE OF CREATURES IN THE SPIRITUAL LIFE To what extent should the Christian love and use the good things of this world, and to what extent should he renounce them? This is the question at issue. It is the problem of the transcendent, supernatural vocation of the Christian and his existential condition in the world on the practical level of ascetical attitudes. It is the problem of engagement and detachment. We take the term creatures in a dynamic and not a static sense, as objects of human acts rather than entities existing apart from man. Creatures embrace the whole hierarchy of humanistic values, all human goods that are legitimate objects of man's love and effort.1 We include whatever natural and supernatural goodness that is found in these human values under the one notion of their created goodness and prescind from the controverted question of the objective permanent value in terrestrial realities.2 1 Created goods are personal, e.g. health, money, love and being loved or social, e.g. culture, civilization, temporal structures; they include the goods' of nature and of art and technology, whether these directly serve the body, like the comforts of climate or furniture, or the mind, like recreation or work! or the human spirit, such as knowledge and love. The classification of these goods and their objective relation to the supernatural economy of grace is the object of the theology of terrestrial reality; our viewpoint, that of spiritual theology, is their subjective repercussions in the spiritual life and ideal attitudes to be fostered toward them.

  • 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.

The Maccabean text shows that Judas, and the Jewish priests and people believed that those who died in peace could be helped by prayers and sacrifices offered by the living. In addition, in the New Testament we read (Mt. 12:32) that Christ recognizes "In the words of Saint Francis: that there exists a state beyond this world in which the "O my Brothers and Sisters, penalty due for sins, which were pardoned for guilt I want you all to go to Heaven!" in the world, is forgiven.

  • Uniformity with God's Will
    Uniformity with God©s Will Author(s): Liguori, St. Alphonsus de (1696-1787) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Written in 1755, Uniformity with God©s Will is a wonderful little treatise on the true love of God. Saint Alphonsus de Liguori writes to encourage believers to unify their wills with that of God©s, so that they may love God perfectly: "the more one unites his will with the divine will, the greater will be his love of God." To choose otherwise--i.e. to choose not to unify one©s will with God©s--is "a kind of idolatry." These seven short chapters, not simply prone to abstract speculation, ex- plore concretely how to make one©s own will uniform with God©s through the hardships of this life. Further, the book discusses the fruit of such a union with God©s will: happiness. De Liguori concludes by noting how, in all things, Christians must remain steadfast in their union with God©s will. For in so doing, God will "press us to his heart." Challenging and encouraging, Uniformity with God©s Will has the power to remind us of what true love of God really is. Tim Perrine CCEL Staff Writer Subjects: Christian Denominations Roman Catholic Church Biography and portraits Individual Saints, A-Z i Contents Title Page 1 Preface 2 1.
