Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Degrees of the Spiritual Life, Vol. 2 of 2: A Method of Directing Souls According to Their Progress in Virtue As to the quotations from the writings of the Saints, it should be noted that pains have been taken to refer to the best English translations available, where such versions are to be had, and not simply to translate the authors' French version. Thus, for St. John of the Cross, the translation of Mr. David Lewis (Baker, 1891) has been used. For St. Teresa's Life I have also used Mr. Lewis's version (Baker, 1904); while the quotations from the Interior Castle have been taken from the excellent new translation by the Benedictines of Stanbrook, who have used the Saint's own autograph (Interior Castle; Baker, 1906). For St. Teresa's other works I have been forced to content myself with Canon Dalton's unsatisfactory version. It is to be hoped that the Stanbrook nuns will soon be able to give us a new translation, and thus complete the work so admirably begun. Here and there short passages from these Saints have been left in the form given them by the author of this work, a form which is sometimes rather a paraphrase than a strict translation. This has been done for the sake of the context. As to the French writers who are quoted by the author, such as St. Francis of Sales, Père Surin, and others, I have made my own translations, and have not gone to any other version. But with regard to the Italian and Spanish authors, I have, as already stated, tried to refer to the best English translations published.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface: This Pocket Manual of Canon Law is a digest of the entire Code. It contains all that the average priest should know, more than our Sisterhoods need to know, and much that will interest the laity on the laws of the Church. On most subjects the points of the law are scattered through the Code. By gathering these points under their respective heads and arranging them in alphabetical order, with reference to canon, paragraph, and number in the Code, this manual aims to be a clear, intelligent counsellor in the ordinary affairs of Catholic life, and a ready index to the Code for questions that require a knowledge of the niceties of ecclesiastical law.This is a crucial book for any layman or future seminarian wanting to dive into the more deeper parts of canon law. The definitions are not overwhelming hard to understand. That are written simple and to the point. On the more important definitions, such as baptism and marriage, are more detailed because they are the foundations of the Catholic faith. The dictionary of Canon law was written by Rev. P. Trudel S.S. This book was written in the late 1910's. It has 606 definitions ranging from abbot to jurisdiction to vows. Here are typical definitions. Abstinence. The law of abstinence forbids the eating of flesh meat and of broth made from meat (1250). It binds all who have completed their seventh year (1254). It is to be observed on all Fridays of the year, on Wednesdays and Saturdays of Lent, and on the Vigils of Pentecost, Assumption, All Saints, and Christmas (1252, 1, 2). If one of these vigils falls on Sunday, or if a holy-day falls on Friday, the law of abstinence ceases. It also ceases at noon on Holy Saturday (1252, 4).Jurisdiction for Confessions. Besides the power of orders jurisdiction is necessary to give absolution (872). The Pope and the Cardinals have this jurisdiction for the whole Church, the Ordinaries in their dioceses, and the pastors, and those who take their place, in the parish (873). Delegated jurisdiction is given to priests by the Ordinary (874). This delegation must be expressed in words or given in writing (879). It may be limited (878, 1). To hear the confession of religious women and novices validly and licitly in their homes special delegation by the Ordinary is required (876). When once granted it should not be recalled excepting for grave reason (880). All priests have faculties to absolve persons in danger of death (882). Every priest approved by his Ordinary, or by the Ordinary of the place of embarkation, or of any Ordinary along the voyage, is approved to hear confessions on the boat, while making a voyage, or at any port his boat enters (883). A priest who would dare to hear confessions without jurisdiction would thereby incur suspension, and one who with jurisdiction would dare to absolve from reserved sins would thereby be suspended from hearing confessions (2366).Confession, Sacramental. Sacramental confession is necessary for mortal sins committed since the reception of baptism that have not yet been forgiven in a good confession (901). Mortal sins that have been forgiven and venial sins may be confessed (902). Religious and seminarians should go to confession at least once a week (595, 1, 3; 1367, 2). To gain the indulgence of some feast the prescribed confession may be made eight days preceding the feast· (931, 1). Anyone in mortal Sill must go to confession before receiving Holy Communion (856), celebrating Mass (807), or being married (1033). The confession must be made to a duly authorized priest (of any rite) (905), but in danger of death it may be validly and licitly made to a priest not approved, even when a duly authorized priest is present (882). Novices and seminarians should not confess to their master, socius or rector (891, 1383). Confession may be made through an interpreter (903).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Degrees of the Spiritual Life, Vol. 1 of 2: A Method of Directing Souls According to Their Progress in Virtue The work which I have here the privilege of introducing to English readers is already well known and highly valued in France and other countries. I have undertaken this translation at the wish of my Abbot, and with the permission of the author, in the confident expectation that a book so clear and admirable will be as much appreciated by English-speaking Catholics as it has been by their brethren on the Continent. For this book is well fitted to become the spiritual companion of souls who are entering on the way of perfection, and they will find in it a sure and faithful guide. Though primarily intended for priests and religious, it is by no means adapted for them alone, and there are few indeed who are in earnest about their salvation who will not get help and light from its perusal. I hope that to many it will become what The Spiritual Combat was to St Francis of Sales, and what that great Saint's own Introduction to the Devout Life has been to countless souls. For the Abbe Saudreau has no new doctrine of his own to proclaim; his work has been to gather together, expound, and co-ordinate the teachings of the Saints.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE SPIRITUAL LIFE: A TREATISE ON ASCETICAL AND MYSTICAL THEOLOGY REVEREND ADOLPHE TANQUEREY — A Catholic Classic! — Two Parts of Four Books in One — Includes 1,773 Active Linked Footnotes — Includes Active Linked Headings, Index and Table of Contents — Includes Religious Illustrations Publisher: Available in Paperbacks: FIRST PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-507-9 SECOND PART: ISBN-13: 978-1-78379-508-6 It is the writer’s conviction that Dogma is the foundation of Ascetical Theology and that an exposition of what God has done and still does for us is the most efficacious motive of true devotion. Hence, care has been taken to recall briefly the truths of faith on which the spiritual life rests. This treatise then is first of all doctrinal in character and aims at bringing out the fact that Christian perfection is the logical outcome of dogma, especially of the central dogma of the Incarnation. The work however is also practical, for a vivid realization of the truths of faith is the strongest incentive to earnest and steady efforts towards the correction of faults and the practice of virtues. Consequently in the first part of this treatise the practical conclusions that naturally flow from revealed truths and the general means of perfection are developed. The second part contains a more detailed exposition of the special means of advancing along the Three Ways towards the heights of perfection. Contents: FIRST PART: Principles SECOND PART: The Three Ways BOOK I: The Purification of the Soul or the Purgative Way BOOK II: The Illuminative Way BOOK III: The Unitive Way PUBLISHER: CATHOLIC WAY PUBLISHING

Download or read book The Works of William Perkins Volume 2 written by William Perkins and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2015-10-12 with total page 954 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second volume contains Perkins’s Commentary on Galatians . Perkins preached on Galatians each Lord’s Day for over three years. Ralph Cudworth obtained Perkins’s handwritten notes and edited them for publication. Because Perkins did not complete the commentary, Cudworth supplemented the manuscript with his own comments on chapter 6. This commentary of Perkins and Cudworth on Galatians first appeared in print in 1604, two years after Perkins’s death. Perkins’s other writings had already begun to be gathered and published. When the three-volume edition of his collected works first appeared, Galatians occupied over 320 large folio pages in the second volume (1609). It continued to appear as a part of several editions of the Works through their final 1635 reprint. Evidently, interest in the commentary warranted its publication again as a separate volume in 1617. Following the model taught in his treatise The Art of Prophesying , Perkins’s pattern in commenting on Galatians is to explain the text, deduce a few points of doctrine from it, answer objections raised against the doctrine, and then give practical uses of what the passage teaches.
