  • Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, with the COVID-19
    Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Dear St. Martin of Tours Parish Family, With the COVID-19 restrictions that have been in place for the last year, the Adult Education Committee has been unable to offer the type of programming that we have in past years. In light of this reality, we have decided to put together a list of books compiled from those which Msgr. Tom, our deacons, and the Adult Education Committee members have found helpful in our respective faith journeys and which we hope could be useful for you as well. Titles on this list could also serve as summer reading since many of us will again be unable to take the type of family vacations that we have in the past. Additionally, our parish library, located in the Manning Center, has a very good collection of books which you may borrow. We sincerely hope that you find some of these titles to be spiritually nourishing and helpful for your personal faith journey. May God Bless you, The St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Rich Furney, Jane Guido, Janine Hughey, Lisa Irwin, Kathi Lovell, Sue Maneikis, and Kathy Waldron Page 1 of 11 Recommended Reading May 2021 St. Martin of Tours Adult Education Committee Foundational Reading The Bible The Catholic Edition of any translation, usually denoted by CE, is preferable.

  • Spirituality of Dominican Monastic Life
    Dominican Monastic Life: Reflections (selected part of a dissertation text, copied with author’s permission) by Elizabeth Elive Chapter 3 Dominican Monastic Life: Ideal And Spirituality 3.1 A brief Historical Review 3.1.1 The general climate of the twelfth and thirteenth centuries Dominican monastic life came into being at a critical period in history when the old order of medieval society was fast changing and giving way to the emergence of new. Secular and ecclesiastical societies were experiencing what seemed a great upheaval as new institutions sprang into being to answer new needs. All sectors of society: political, economic, intellectual and religious, were experiencing the impact of the said upheaval, with their interaction itself accentuating it. In the political and economic milieu, feudalism was giving way to the rule by communes in a struggle by which the latter wrested power from feudal lords. The Church’s involvement in the feudal system brought the same struggle within it. Prelates and clerics, usually owners of large estates, found themselves actively engaged in protecting their rights against an encroaching commune to the sad neglect of their Christian flock. There was likewise a revival of intellectual interests in the 12th and 13th centuries. Latin translations of the Greek philosophers were making the latter’s teaching available to the West, and those who wanted to could avail themselves of this knowledge in the new universities springing up to answer this need. But interest was not limited to the philosophers. A general yearning for true religion and a revived interest in Scripture was manifesting itself among the ordinary Christian.

  • Contemplative Prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross
    Study guide for Contemplative prayer Key Terms Related to Contemplative Prayer in Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross Consolations – a broad term referring to a variety of supernatural experiences with God. Also called “favors.” (What Charismatics might refer to as “encounters”). Contemplation – “a deep love communion with the triune God. By depth here we mean a knowing loving that we cannot produce but only receive. It is not merely a mentally expressed ‘I love You’. It is a wordless awareness and love that we of ourselves cannot initiate or prolong” (Dubay, Fire Within, 57). For John of the Cross, “The communication of God untied to the senses, or the particular, received passively by the spirit in an attitude of faith and love, of general loving attention. Also called mystical theology. May be referred to as infused because the soul receives it passively, just as one receives sunlight by doing no more than opening the shutters. Takes away the satisfaction associated with discursive [i.e., meditative] prayer” (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Detachment – “The equivalent of poverty of spirit, refers to a freedom from the appetites [i.e., disordered longings/desires] so that the heart may be surrendered entirely to God in the union of faith, hope, and love” John of the Cross equates this to spiritual poverty (See “Glossary of Terms” in The Collect Works of St. John of the Cross, 768.) Faculties of the Soul – The three elements or operations of the human soul which make the soul human rather than animal.

    INSIDE CATHOLICISM The Secrets of the Spiritual Life An exploration in Catholic Spirituality OUTLINE September 23 Introduction Seven Pillars of the Catholic Spiritual Life Important Practices to the Spiritual Life September 30 The Three Ways Purgative Illuminative Unitive October 7 The Study of Jesus Christ What is Prayer? October 14 Types of Prayer Pray without Ceasing October 21 How Does Mental Prayer Work? Equivalents of Mental Prayer October 28 Purification from Sin November 4 Cultivation of Virtues November 11 Summary and Review OPENING PRAYER Take, Lord, receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, my whole will, all that I have and all that I possess. You gave it all to me, Lord; I give it all back to you. Do with it as you will, according to your good pleasure. Give me your love and your grace; for with this I have all that I need. - St. Ignatius of Loyola St. Ignatius encouraged this prayer to all who were beginning the path of the Spiritual Life. This prayer is rooted in total abandonment to Divine Providence (God’s Will) and is a renunciation of all aspects of one’s self. INTRODUCTION The goal of this experience is to provide the participant a breakdown of the components of a Catholic Spiritual Life, sometimes known as Ascetic Theology. This will be a reflection on Ordinary Prayer. Unfortunately, Mystical Contemplation will be mostly left to another time. Each experience is intended to build on the previous one, but the spiritual life is not series of “steps” but an action of God and man that runs concurrently drawing all into One.

  • Lord You Want Me? All Of
    Lord, You Want Me? All of Me? Father Michael de Stoop P a g e | 1 Lord, You Want Me? A l l o f M e ? INTRODUCTION All people are called to be chaste, irrespective of their vocation. Even married people are called to be chaste which means they are sexually intimate within marriage alone and faithful to it; seek the good of their spouse (rather than their own gratification); and are open to life. Without chastity no one can faithfully live according to the image of God in whom we are made. God is a communion of Persons where the Father and the Son are committed to One another and seek nothing but the good of One another. Furthermore, just as the conception of life proceeds from the love between husband and wife, as we say in the Creed, the Holy Spirit eternally “proceeds from the Father and the Son.” Chastity also enables marriage to be a sacrament by which the loving bond between husband and wife is modelled upon and is an expression of Christ’s love for his Church. Some people are called to consecrate their chastity to Christ which means that they abstain from all forms of deliberate sexual pleasure. Why would they want to be celibate given that the vocation of marriage is so beautiful and profound? Why would they not want to have children? This booklet contains answers to these and other questions which are designed to help us see that consecrated chastity is no less striking and profound than marriage. So doing, this booklet will help us to understand what motivates religious sisters, priests, brothers, consecrated virgins, and hermits to make a vow of chastity and why diocesan priests and lay consecrated men and women freely choose to make a promise of celibacy.
