This book cannot be expected to please everybody, and it makes no attempt to conciliate those who prefer sentiment to truth, or who allow their reading of historical events to be distorted by present-day controversies, whether ecclesiastical or political. In that respect it tries to live up to the dictum of Samuel Butler that 'he excels most who hits the golden mean most exactly in the middle'.

  • The Heart of the Good Shepherd and the Heart of a Priest 1St Edition Pdf, Epub, Ebook
    THE HEART OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD AND THE HEART OF A PRIEST 1ST EDITION PDF, EPUB, EBOOK Pope Francis | 9780809153473 | | | | | The Heart of the Good Shepherd and the Heart of a Priest 1st edition PDF Book Additional needs should be specified on the form such as a projector or a snack table, for example. The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus was everywhere in evidence, largely due to the Franciscan devotion to the Five Wounds and to the Jesuits placing the image on the title-page of their books and on the walls of their churches. Download as PDF Printable version. Those who favour purity of rite are opposed to the devotion, while those who are in favour of the devotion cite it as a point of commonality with their Latin Catholic brethren. The Heart of the Good Shepherd tells us that his love is limitless; it is never exhausted and it never gives up. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Jesus' death , while the fire represents the transformative power of divine love. She was born before the Protestant Reformation and died almost 20 years after the closing of the Council of Trent. In order to be a father, the priest has to be a son first; a son who commits mistakes and asks for forgiveness; a son who trusts and loves his father; a son who humbly accepts to be corrected; a son who responds with respect and love. Dear brother priests, let us ask the Lord Jesus for the grace to learn for ourselves something of the pastoral plan of Saint John Mary Vianney! In a humble yet genuine way, every priest must aim for a similar identification.

  • A Sixteenth-Century Mystical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands
    BERNARD MCGINN A Sixteenth-Century Mystical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands It is only within the past decade that the existence of a sixteenth-century renaissance of mysticism in the Eastern Netherlands has begun to emerge as an important chapter in the history of Western spirituality.1 Considerable research has been devoted to the role of the Charterhouse of St. Barbara at Cologne in editing, translating, and publishing mystical texts, as well as the place of these Carthusians in the history of Catholic reform, but little had been written about the connection of the Carthusians with centers of mystical writing both by and for women in the Netherlands provinces of Brabant and Gelderland.2 What is now clear is that in the mid-sixteenth century the conversation between men and women that was a feature of much late medieval mysticism found a new home in the Low Countries, one in which the Carthusians at Cologne and the community of Augustinian canonesses at St. Agnes at Arnhem formed two important foci.3 As the historian Jean Dagens once put it, “La Chartreuse de Cologne n’est pas moins important pour l’histoire religieuse que la Fraternité obscure où ­Thomas a Kempis a médité les livres de l’Imitation.”4 This may seem exagger- ated, but when we look at the activities of the Cologne community in editing, translating, and printing late medieval theological and spiritual writings, it becomes less extreme. This publishing effort was part of a program of reform centered at Cologne, a distinctive German attempt at countering the split in ¶ Much of the material in this essay appeared in a slightly different form in Chapter 5, “A Mys- tical Renaissance in the Eastern Netherlands,” in Bernard McGinn, The Varieties of Vernacular Mysticism, 1350-1550 (New York: Crossroad-Herder, 2012), 141-75.

  • AUGUSTINE BAKER, O.S.B. Towards a Re-Assessment
    J.P.H. CLARK AUGUSTINE BAKER, O.S.B. Towards a Re-Assessment Recent editorial work has opened the way to a new appreciation of a very sig- nificant figure in the English contemplative tradition, whose influence contin- ues not only through his writings, but through the living witness of the direct successors of the religious community for which in his life-time he provided guidance and inspiration. Augustine Baker, O.S.B. (1575-1641) is known above all through Holy Wis- dom (Sancta Sophia), the digest of his teaching published in 1657 by his con- frère Serenus Cressy under the authority of the General Chapter of the English Benedictine Congregation.1 The foundations for all modern studies of Fr. Baker were laid by Abbot Justin McCann, O.S.B., who not only provided editions of the biographical material, but also listed all the manuscripts of Fr. Baker’s unpublished works that were accessible to him, and is credited with being the only person in mod- ern times to have read them all through.2 Some thirty years ago Dom Placid Spearitt recognised the desirability of critical editions of Fr. Baker’s writings,3 but monastic duties prevented him from bringing this about. More recently, the nuns of Stanbrook Abbey have produced an edition of Fr. Baker’s Substance of 1 For the successive editions of Holy Wisdom, see Michael Woodward, ‘Bakerdata: An Anno- tated Bibliography of Published Tests and Secondary Sources’, in: M.
