Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glories of the Catholic Church, Vol. 3: The Catholic Christian Instructed in Defence of His Faith; A Complete Exposition of the Catholic Doctrine, Together With a Full Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass; Including the Triumphs of the Church in Every Age Commander, Companions: To speak of patriotism is my evening's task. An easy and gracious one it ought to be. Patriotism is personified in my audience. The honor is mine to address the country's heroes, the country's martyrs. At country's call you quickly buckled your armor on, and rushing where battle raged, you offered for your country's life the life-blood of your hearts. Many of you bear upon limb and face the sacred stigmata of patriotism. Your tried hands are doubly pledged in purest unselfishness and bravest resolve to uphold in the reign of peace the loved flag which in days of war they carried over gory fields above stain or reproach. I could not, if I would, close the portals of my soul to the rich and sweet inspirations which come to me from your souls. I shall define patriotism as you understand and feel it. Patriotism is love of country, and loyalty to its life and weal - love tender and strong: tender as the love of son for mother, strong as the pillars of death; loyalty generous and disinterested, shrinking from no sacrifice, seeking no reward save country's honor and country's triumph. Beauty And Value Of Patriotism. Patriotism! There is magic in the word. It is bliss to repeat it. Through ages the human race burnt the incense of admiration and reverence at the shrines of patriotism. The most beautiful pages of history are those which count its deeds.

Excerpt: ... devotion to the holy angels. jFirst $att. motive the first. The Admirable Perfections of these Blessed Spirits. We have already said, and again repeat, that the perfection of the angels is like to an immense sea without shore or bottom. Enlightened souls feel that all they can say of them is nothing, their greatness being above the reach of human thought. The angelic nature contains within itself a world of perfections: but if we add to it the consideration of their grace and glory, it is truly admirable. However perfect human nature may become, it is still, as faith teaches, very inferior to the angelic nature. A certain theologian has asserted (although, indeed, it be not the common opinion), that the least of the angels exceeds in glory the greatest of the saints; and he grounded his opinion on this text of the Holy Scripture, "He who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than John the Baptist." The angels are spiritual beings, incorruptible in their nature, perfectly disengaged from matter, and quite free from the miseries to which we are incident. They possess wonderful intelligence; what the greatest geniuses have not been able to comprehend is perfectly understood by them. They know many things in one and the same moment, and without the least difficulty. Their manner of understanding is not like ours; at the first sight which they have of a thing, they know its whole import, and all its consequences--hence, they are called by excellence "Intelligences." The Scripture, to declare to us this admirable faculty of theirs, says that they are clothed in burning fire. In.the Apocalypse they are represented in the habits of the ancient pontiffs, to give us to understand that to these holy spirits the most sacred mysteries of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Glories of the Catholic Church, Vol. 2: The Catholic Christian Instructed in Defence of His Faith; A Complete Exposition of the Catholic Doctrine, Together With a Full Explanation of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass The Most Provident God, who by an admirable counsel of charity, raised mankind in the beginning to a participation in the divine nature, and then, after they had been freed from a common stain and from destruction, restored them to their pristine dignity, has also conferred upon them the singular safeguard of laying open to them in a supernatural way the mysteries of His divinity, wisdom, and mercy. For although there are also included in divine revelation things which are not inaccessible to human reason, so revealed to men that they can be understood by all quickly with firm certainty and without any admixture of error, yet not for this reason is revelation to be said to be absolutely necessary, but because God in His infinite goodness designed man for a supernatural end (Conc. Vat., sess. iii., cap.2, de Revel.). This supernatural revelation, according to the belief of the Universal Church, is contained both in unwritten conditions and also in written books, which are called sacred and canonical, because, being written with the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, they have God for their author, and as such they were given to the Church (Ibid).

Download or read book Triumph written by H.W. Crocker III and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2003-09-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 2,000 years, Catholicism—the largest religion in the world and in the United States—has shaped global history on a scale unequaled by any other institution. But until now, Catholics interested in their faith have been hard-pressed to find an accessible, affirmative, and exciting history of the Church. Triumph is that history. Inside, you'll discover the spectacular story of the Church from Biblical times and the early days of St. Peter—the first pope—to the twilight years of John Paul II. It is a sweeping drama of Roman legions, great crusades, epic battles, toppled empires, heroic saints, and enduring faith. And, there are stormy controversies: Dark Age skullduggery, the Inquistition, the Renaissance popes, the Reformation, the Church's refusal to accept sexual liberation and contemporary allegations like those made in Hitler's Pope and Papal Sin. A brawling, colorful history full of inspiring pageantry and spirited polemic, Triumph will exhilarate, amuse, and infuriate as it extols the glories of Catholic history and the gripping stories of its greatest men and women.

This book was released on 1986-01-01 with total page 650 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henri de Lubac has described von Balthasar as 'probably the most cultured man in Europe'. In volumes II and III von Balthasar shows the extraordinary range of his knowledge and expertise in a series of essays designed to illustrate different ways in which theologians have shared their work. What he offers is 'a typology of the relationship between beauty and revelation' which shows 'that there neither has been nor could be any true great and historically fruitful theology which was not expressly conceived and born under the constellation of beauty and grace'. Volume III contains studies of Dante, John of the Cross, Pascal, Hamann, Soloviev, Hopkins and Peguy.
