Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautiful book of meditations on various Christian virtues or charisms as reflected in the lives of nine holy Dominican men and women. Manifesting the special grace and spirit given to St. Dominic, these outsanding lives are shining examples for modern Christians on how to make the Gospel teaching incarnate in today's world. Saints portrayed include Thomas Aquinas, Catherine of Siena, Martin de Porres, Fra Angelico, Peter of Verona, Catherine de Ricci and others. Charisms highlighted by each life include prayer, joy, poverty, study, friendship, art and more. The lives of the saints occupy a special place in the history and spirituality of the Catholic Church. The men and women in this book form a comprehensive image of one of the most significant movements in the history of Western Christianity: the Dominican order, whose particular charism emphasizes the sanctification of the intellect and importance tht sacred truth holds in the life of the Christian believer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of St. Dominic: A Sketch of the Dominican Order, With an Introduction St. Dominic's name is revered by many who never perused his life, and it is likewise execrated by others who gain their notions of him from false biographies, (if they may be so called.) The fragrance of his sanctity fills the entire garden of the Church, and all within its holy precincts acknowledge his virtues, even without pausing to learn the peculiar causes of his distinction, while those without hear nothing but the foul reports of such as never saw him, never held any kind of communication with his associates, but who derived all their knowledge of St. Dominic from those who wrongly judged him. England was not the last in joining in this hasty verdict, elicited from incompetent testimony; nor is she the last in re-opening the case, setting aside all unqualified evidence, - nay, in arraigning before the majesty of reason and of truth the faithful contemporary eye-witnesses of the Saint, and in giving to the world, as the result of most careful and impartial scrutiny, the true life of St. Dominic, of which this is a mere republication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Any sketch of the mission, organization and history of the Dominican Order which did not contain an adequate study of its holy founder would be much like the play of Hamlet with the Dane left out. For it is from its founder that every order gets its own genuine and authentic spirit, temper, fibre, character, individuality, ethos—or whatever other name may be chosen to designate the marks that distinguish and set off, apart and alone, one religious institute from every other. If, then, no two orders are alike in spirit and organization, it is for the very simple reason that no two individuals are quite the same in temperament and ideals. Aeterna Press

Excerpt: ... chapter viii Pere Besson's Direction--Spiritual Letters. this sketch of Pere Besson's life would be incomplete without some reference to what, after all, was probably his most effectual work for God, --his direction of souls. No one can read his letters, simple and unstudied as they are, without feeling how helpful the guidance of such a man must have been to souls struggling upwards towards the life of grace. Madame Swetchine used to say that she had never seen any one who bore so distinctly the outward stamp of holiness, and this was in a great measure, doubtless, the result of his deep humility, which was so intuitive, so entirely a part of himself, that like all true humility, it was unconscious; and while it gave a special charm to his manners, which were naturally gentle and refined, it had nothing forced or obtrusive. He always used to wonder why people loved him so much, and drew to him so quickly;--too unselfish to know how attractive his total freedom from self was. Love of God led him as a natural consequence to love of men. "On, ever on towards God," in his own words, "Jesus must be the stamp of our souls. When I want to learn more of His Heart, I recall the moments in my life when I have felt and understood Him best, for it is only in meditating and dwelling upon Him that one can attain any patience, humility, gentleness, detachment or love of souls, and of holy poverty. Oh, these are moments when one seems to feel one's own heart beat against His Sacred Heart." It was noticed among his friends that Pere Besson's habitual and most natural action was a little movement of his hand towards heaven, which was specially significative to those who knew him well. A religious who asked for some remembrance of Pere Besson, received the...
Download or read book Saint Dominic s Way of Life written by Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, and published by Our Sunday Visitor. This book was released on 2021-06-01 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few Catholics today know much about Saint Dominic, who died eight hundred years ago in 1221. Unlike Francis of Assisi, Teresa of Ávila, or Ignatius of Loyola, Dominic did not leave a deposit of writings to be examined and built upon. Yet this medieval Spaniard still has much to teach us today, and we see this in the way of life he left to the Church. Dominic offers a rich approach to Christian living, not just for members of the Order of Preachers, the religious order he founded, but for all Catholics. His dedication to prayer, penance, and the Word of God, and his love of neighbor, form the deep foundation of his project of being conformed to God. By following in Dominic’s footsteps, we too can discover how to live with a heart that is undivided, seeking God first in all things. “The twenty-first century remains in need of the witness and ministry of Saint Dominic, the thirteenth-century priest who consecrated his life to the sharing of saving truth. Fortunately, Fathers Briscoe and Janczyk have produced a highly readable and inspiring book that enables the men and women of our own time to discover the graces that Dominic continues to bring to us as an instrument of God, the author of grace. In Saint Dominic, the contemplative preacher of grace, we can all find a spiritual father who will teach us to know and love the Lord Jesus, who is himself Saving Truth.” — Father Sebastian White, OP, editor-in-chief, Magnificat “This beautiful book allows us to get to know Saint Dominic better, who was so close to God and so full of compassion for all the sufferings of his time. He is a shining example of what we are called to do today: seek God with all our heart to pour out the balm of his merciful love on all the plagues of our world.” — Father Jacques Philippe, best-selling author and retreat master ABOUT THE AUTHORS Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, OP, and Father Jacob Bertrand Janczyk, OP, are cohosts of the lively Dominican friars’ podcast Godsplaining. Father Patrick serves as deputy senior editor of Aleteia.org and associate chaplain at Providence College. Father Jacob Bertrand is the director of vocations of the Dominican Province of St. Joseph.

Download or read book Hounds of the Lord written by Kevin Vost and published by Sophia Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-11-09 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: They are called “Hounds of the Lord,” and “Stoics on spiritual steroids.” For 800 years they have barked out Christ’s gospel message, saving countless souls and showing us how to think, do, and love for the glory of God. Inspired by the stories of their saints, we join the Dominicans in celebrating the Jubilee of their first 800 years. In these pages, we draw inspiration and spiritual strength from the lives, lessons, and legacies of their intellectual giants and enrapt mystics, the men and women who scrubbed floors, and those who cared for the dying. You’ll discover countless fascinating and pious stories, prophetic dreams and visions, apparitions of Christ and Our Lady, appearances of the devil in disguise, miraculous healings, episodes of bi-location, stigmata, incorruption after death, and more. From St. Thomas Aquinas to St. Martin de Porres, in story after story you’ll see how God favored these holy men and women in so many surprising and supernatural ways. Even 800 years later, these Hounds of the Lord are still out there today, roaming the world, seeking out souls to retrieve for Christ. Open this book, and you’ll be given a taste of that glorious and joyful spirit that animates the Dominican Order — a spirit they have so long and so willingly shared with the rest of the world. Let their example serve as inspiration, and let loose the hounds of the Lord within you.
