Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE existed in the Franciscan Order from an early date a school of asceticism, remarkable no less for great elevation of thought than for singular vivacity and picturesqueness of expression. This two-fold characteristic is perhaps nowhere more happily blended than in Aurea of Blessed Giles of Assisi, a work which the Bollandists do Dot hesitate to rank at the head of its class and which is here presented to the reader in an English dress. No one at all conversant with things Franciscan need be told that Blessed Giles was of that stalwart little band who "were with the Blessed Francis from the time he began to have companions." "The Knight of our Round Table," St. Francis called him, and Giles remains the ideal type of the Franciscan Friar. It may not then be amiss to preface our study of his "Golden Sayings" with some account, however brief, of the long, strange life and the surroundings of their author. Nearly a century ago the great Conventual critic Papini sighed for an adequate biography of Blessed Giles. Some eight years since, a learned member of the same Order essayed to produce one, but his volume falls short of the mark; and the same is true of Mgr. Briganti's monograph published about the same time. Neither of these books should be read with too critical an eye. On the other hand, the recent work of Father Gisbert Menge - a seasoned scholar in all that concerns the subject - goes far toward meeting all modern requirements. But the finally acceptable biography of Giles still remains to be written. Happily, however, we are able to go behind Giles's more recent biographers to some of the early documents from which our knowledge of him is derived.
Download or read book CHRONICLE OF THE TWENTY FOUR GENERALS OF THE ORDER OF FRIARS MINOR written by ARNALD OF SARRANT and published by TAU Franciscan Communicatins - Malta. This book was released on 2013-09-26 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The history of the Order of Friars Minor during the first one and a half centuries of its existence is maybe the most studied period of the 800 years of Franciscan presence in the Church. The publication of the Sources for the lives of Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi in all the main European languages has been of considerable help to spread the historical knowledge regarding Francis of Assisi and his movement and make it available to the average reader. Among these Sources, the Chronica XXIV Ministrorum Generalium Ordinis fratrum Minorum by Arnald of Sarrant merits particular attention. It tells the story of the Franciscan Order from the time of Saint Francis till the beginning of the Western Schism in 1378, and therefore contains valuable information regarding the initial period of Franciscan history. Unfortunately it is not easily available in translation because of its voluminous nature. In fact, it covers a total of 712 pages of the third volume of Analecta Franciscana, published by the Franciscan editors of Quaracchi in 1897. Our aim has been that of embarking on the arduous task of translating this voluminous work of history into English from the original Latin. This translation is the fruit of three years of work, and we are now happy to present it to the general public. Because of its voluminous nature we intend to divide it into 5 sections, four of which cover the 575 pages of text and one the appendixes. The whole 575 page Chronicle is here available in 4 sections covering respectively the following historical periods: (1) Saint Francis and the early Franciscan fraternity; (2) The Generals from brother Elias as vicar (1227) to Saint Bonaventure (1274); (3) The Generals from Jerome of Ascoli (1274) to Michael of Cesena (1328); (4) The Generals from Gerard Eudes (1329) to Leonard of Giffoni (1378). A last section will be the translation of the appendixes. The translation is enriched by footnotes and explanations on the various historical events narrated and on the personages of the Chronicle. Our aim has been simply that of providing a readable translation, without pretending to be scholars of mediaeval Latin. We hope that the service we are offering at such an enormous cost of time and personal effort will be of benefit both to students of Franciscan history as well as to those who are qualified to correct its inaccuracies, and who we gratefully thank for their eventual advice and corrections
Download or read book Blessed Giles of Assisi Classic Reprint written by Walter W. Seton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blessed Giles of Assisi "Tell the Perugians that the bells shall never ring for my canonisation, nor for any great miracles wrought by me." And yet, after the lapse of more than six centuries, it appears probable that these, the last recorded words of the humble Giles of Assisi, may be disproved, and he may be the first of the original disciples of Saint Francis of Assisi to receive the full honours of canonisation. From among the little group of simple-minded, single-hearted men who at the dawn of the thirteenth century were the first to receive the message of evangelical perfection and to cluster around St. Francis, it is almost invidious to point to any one as the most fascinating and attractive of those Knights of his Round Table, as the Saint himself called them. The Little Flowers of St. Francis, now fortunately so well known to modern readers, has endeared them one and all to us: and each of them, Leo, Bernard, Juniper, Giles, has his own place in our affections. But Blessed Giles of Assisi might, if he had not been the humblest and most retiring of men, have claimed a place second to none among the apostolic founders of the movement, which stirred the dry bones of Western Christendom in the thirteenth century.

Download or read book Holy People You Have Never Heard Of written by Cornelia Leary and published by Covenant Books, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sometimes we need a role model-someone who knows what we are going through or just someone to talk to. In the realm of religion and theology, we look to the saints or those deemed to be holy people. You can find most saints of the Catholic church in Books of the Saints. These are more the traditional saints most from centuries ago. I prefer to look at holy people of the nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first centuries, which are more relevant to our lives and lifestyles. In the Catholic Church, the Vatican has a Congregation for the Causes of Saints, which has four levels leading to canonization. Once submitted by the bishop of the diocese that they have researched and deemed worthy for consideration, the package is forwarded to the congregation. If accepted by the congregation, the holy person is called a servant of God and the investigation is on. Generally, the process doesn't start until the person has been dead for five years. There have been expectations like Mother Theresa. Following the investigation, the person may be taken to the second level were they are proclaimed venerable. The process continues and advancement from this level is dependent on a verifiable miracle attributed to this person. This third level calls for papal approval and a beautification ceremony is performed, subsequently that person is called blessed. At the time of a second miracle, the pope can canonize that person, thereafter that person is called saint. Frequently, I use the names of those going through the process especially the more recent lives. We are encouraged to pray to and for these people, yet most of us know nothing about them. That is the purpose of this book, to educate not only youth awaiting confirmation but the entire parish. All of us need this kind of information at some point in our lives. The other reason I prefer, the more recent holy people is that as a wood-carver, I can obtain photos of these people rather than an artist rendition. All the photos are from these photos done in relief carving. Obviously, some of the more traditional saints are from artist renderings.
Download or read book Francis of Assisi s Sermon on the Mount written by John Michael Talbot and published by Paraclete Press. This book was released on 2019-05-21 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Talbot applies the timeless words of St. Francis to our troubled times. In the United States and across the world, we are experiencing polarization, anger, and violence. But God is still in control, and it is important to dig deep into our Christian heritage in a way that speaks to all people. St. Francis is one of the great saints who somehow reaches across all divides, touches hearts and souls, and brings spiritual peace. Talbot explores Francis’s Admonitions: twenty-eight teachings that are among the most beautiful and troubling of the saint’s writings. Covering sacramental theology of the Eucharist, to communal issues of consecrated life, to very private aspects of faith and devotion, these Admonitions provide clear and radical road signs to the destination on our spiritual journey in Christ.

Download or read book Painting in Renaissance Sie written by Keith Christiansen and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 1988 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalog of an exhibition which opened at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on Dec. 20, 1988. This first comprehensive study in English devoted to Sienese painting to be published in four decades centers on the fifteenth century, a fascinating but frequently neglected period when Sienese artists confronted the innovations of Renaissance painting in Florence. Two introductory essays survey fifteenth-century Sienese painting, and individual entries examine 139 key works in exhaustive detail, presenting new insights into long-debated issues of interpretation and attribution, and often utilizing previously unpublished material. Most of the major paintings are reproduced in color and supplemented with illustrations of related comparative works.
