Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Roman Pilgrimage Well, I will have none of that. That is not, to my mind, a true picture of the city of Caesar and Peter, of Brutus and Borgia: so calm and inhuman a mistress would never have won the allegiance of so many periods and religions and temperaments. Rome has the allure of the mountains, the charm of the hills on which she sits, and with which she is girdled: her secret is not some thing which Swallows up the adorer, it is no Nirvana of the spirit or the mind her secret is a jewel for which her admirers must joust, and to whom she will she gives it. All roads lead to Rome yes, but you must get on to a road. And the idler, the false mystic, the Buddhist, the quietist adventures no high road: he lingers, in a keen selfishness, among the meadows of a false philosophy. All roads lead to Rome yes, but you must have the will to move, the passion to achieve, the desire to possess. All roads lead to Rome yes, whether as Christian, or as poet, or as archaeologist, or as aesthete you may go to Rome and you will then reach the treasure of the ages of the heart, the satisfaction of many needs, the solace of sorrow and the deep security of faith.

Download or read book The Pilgrimage of the Holy Paula Classic Reprint written by St. Jerome and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pilgrimage of the Holy Paula The asceticism advocated, with so much eloquence, by Ambrose at Milan, and Jerome at Rome, during the last quarter of the fourth century, captivated the minds of Christians of all ranks. In Rome itself, where society was at the time under the influence of strong religious excitement, the opinions of Jerome were adopted with enthusiasm. Partly from love of novelty, partly from the striking contrast between the austere life of an ascetic and the dissolute manners of the age, asceticism became the fashion. Many ladies of noble birth, renouncing the pleasures of society, devoted their lives to religious observances, and their Wealth to good works; whilst others wandered off to lead a life of seclusion in lands which had once been hallowed by the presence of Christ, or performed long weary pilgrimages to places which had been the scene of some memorable event in sacred history. Amongst those who had been deeply moved by the preaching of Jerome, were two ladies who afterwards became his most fervent disciples: Paula, a Roman matron of ancient lineage, great wealth, and high social rank; and Eustochium, her daughter, who, if we may believe her spiritual guide, was the first Roman maiden to take upon herself vows of virginity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pilgrimage From the Alps to the Tiber: Or the Influence of Romanism I DID not go to Rome to seek for condemnatory matter against the Pope's government. Had this been my only object, I should not have deemed it necessary to undertake so long a journey. I could have found materials on which to construct a charge in but too great abundance nearer home. The cry of the Papal States had waxed great, and there was no need to go down into those unhappy regions to satisfy one's self that the oppression was altogether according to the cry of it. I had other objects to serve by my journey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Pilgrimage to Eternity written by Timothy Egan and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From "the world's greatest tour guide," a deeply-researched, captivating journey through the rich history of Christianity and the winding paths of the French and Italian countryside that will feed mind, body, and soul (New York Times). "What a wondrous work! This beautifully written and totally clear-eyed account of his pilgrimage will have you wondering whether we should all embark on such a journey, either of the body, the soul or, as in Egan's case, both." --Cokie Roberts "Egan draws us in, making us feel frozen in the snow-covered Alps, joyful in valleys of trees with low-hanging fruit, skeptical of the relics of embalmed saints and hopeful for the healing of his encrusted toes, so worn and weathered from their walk."--The Washington Post Moved by his mother's death and his Irish Catholic family's complicated history with the church, Timothy Egan decided to follow in the footsteps of centuries of seekers to force a reckoning with his own beliefs. He embarked on a thousand-mile pilgrimage through the theological cradle of Christianity to explore the religion in the world that it created. Egan sets out along the Via Francigena, once the major medieval trail leading the devout to Rome, and travels overland via the alpine peaks and small mountain towns of France, Switzerland and Italy, accompanied by a quirky cast of fellow pilgrims and by some of the towering figures of the faith--Joan of Arc, Henry VIII, Martin Luther. The goal: walking to St. Peter's Square, in hopes of meeting the galvanizing pope who is struggling to hold together the church through the worst crisis in half a millennium. A thrilling journey, a family story, and a revealing history, A Pilgrimage to Eternity looks for our future in its search for God.

Download or read book Rome of the Pilgrims and Martyrs written by Ethel Ross Barker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome of the Pilgrims and Martyrs: A Study in the Martyrologies, Itineraries, Syllogae,& Other Contemporary Documents There is further, in the introductory chapters, a description, derived from contemporary sources, of the pilgrimages to Rome in the early ages; and in the last chapters, an indication of the method of applying the documentary evidence to the identification of the monuments as revealed by the excavations, which are now in progress day by day in the catacombs. While some of these documents are mainly topographical, others are only incidentally so. These latter have been described in all their aspects, so that each document may be judged as a whole. Each section of the book, therefore, is complete in itself within the prescribed period. There are many chapters here which do but present the results of the recent researches of scholars in their respective branches - of Duchesne and De Rossi; of Delehaye, Harnack, and Leclercq; of Marucchi, Wilpert, and many others; and there is scarcely a line which does not owe something to these great specialists who have, one and all, dealt with questions of historical fact in a spirit of scientific criticism. It is hoped the book may interest the general reader, for whose benefit a large number of translations from the originals have been made. These are as literal as possible, and shortcomings in matter and form are, sometimes at least, faithful reflections of the Latin. In quoting the Latin itself, the curious spellings, so characteristic of the documents, have generally been preserved. The student too may perhaps find some help in it; especially in the bibliography, appendices, and footnotes, which form an introduction to more specialized study in these or kindred subjects. Documents so different in character have each required a different method of treatment. In some the human interest prevails: others seem but to furnish a theme for topographical and literary disquisition. Yet even the latter are in touch with life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a range of case-studies of pilgrimage in Graeco-Roman antiquity, drawing on a wide variety of evidence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.
