Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book St. Patrick testifies to us of his conversion, trials, and tribulations in seeking, surrendering, and suffering for Christ. Even though most of us do not dare attempt to aspire to reach the heights of St. Patrick, it is important to realize that God made each and every person an individual - not to be like another - but rather to be like Christ. He made each person unique and endows each of us with different gifts and graces. This is why we study and admire other followers of Christ but we are not to try to be exactly like another. In growing in virtue - yes. But God has a very specific wills and assignments for each of us. Nevertheless it is helpful to study and reflect on the virtues of others like St. Patrick.

Download or read book Dying to Reach God written by William W. Weber and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-08-01 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to the church after the apostles were gone? Men they ordained like Ignatius and Polycarp demonstrate what it was like. They left behind nine amazing writings that illuminate the mystery of Jesus Christ and the challenges of the second-century church. This book has translations for each text with side-by-side commentary and other aids to help the reader understand and apply what is being said. Ignatius, bishop of Antioch, wrote seven letters on his way to Rome to be martyred in the arena. Six of these went to churches, including three churches that the apostle John had written to. Ignatius’s seventh letter went to Polycarp, bishop of Smyrna. He, in turn, wrote a letter to the church at Philippi, the very church the apostle Paul founded and wrote to. The final piece, the first of its kind, is a detailed account of Polycarp’s arrest and martyrdom in imitation of the Lord. The purpose of this book is to encourage and exhort readers to learn from the words and deeds of Ignatius and Polycarp how to follow Christ in the apostolic way of sacrificial and submissive love.

Download or read book Two Epistles of St Patrick the Bishop written by Mother Nectaria McLees and published by St. Nicholas Press. This book was released on 2021-06 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saint Patrick - that towering holy man who chose to serve God through the Irish and became one of them - in whose wake monasteries sprouted, exquisite poetry flourished, and whose example inspired missionary monks to leave the island they loved in order to serve a greater love, has over the years dwindled in stature. This is partly related to translations of his epistles that did not reach the hearts of their readers or misconstrued aspects of his life that are more easily retrievable today.This new and brilliant translation of the saint's writings by Patricia Colling Egan clarifies misconceptions surrounding St. Patrick and restores the literate and educated missionary bishop and scholar to an honorable place in the canon of medieval religious literature. Patricia Egan, a descendant of a medieval family of brehon lawyers and scholars, has an academic background that includes early grounding as a Latinist as well as graduate work in historical theology and Irish history and literature. She has spent over thirty years producing this volume and its companion, I Patricius: The Roman History of an Irish Saint.

Download or read book The Ethics of Beauty written by Timothy G. Patitsas and published by St. Nicholas Press. This book was released on 2020-01-15 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chaste and ardent eros for the Beautiful is the first task of human life, and falling in love with Beauty is the beginning of every adventure that matters...The original task of Ethics was to guide us to the most just and meaningful life possible. Today, ethicists define their discipline more narrowly as "the rational investigation of morality." This reduces Ethics to an examination of the Good by the True, tacitly suppressing the deep human need for the Beautiful.In The Ethics of Beauty, Orthodox Christian theologian Timothy Patitsas first considers Beauty's opposite, the dark events that traumatize victims of war and other ugly circumstances, and then invites us to rediscover the older Beauty-first approach to moral reasoning and the integrity of the soul.Covering topics ranging from creation to political theory to the Jesus Prayer, including war, psychology, trauma, chastity, healthy shame, gender, marriage, hospitality, art, architecture, theology, economics, urban planning, and complexity theory, The Ethics of Beauty lays out a worldview in which Beauty, Goodness, and Truth are recognized as indispensable elements of the best possible human life.
