"The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena" is a Catholic Classic. This writing was dictated by the saint while in the mystical state of ecstasy while in dialogue with God the Father. Saint Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was the second woman to be given the title of Doctor of the Church by the Catholic Church mainly because on her writings. Her "Dialogue" will help one better understand God's plan of salvation through Jesus Christ, the real meaning of life, and how to live an authentic Christian life. It includes sections on Divine Providence, Discretion, Prayer, and Obedience. These mystical writings contain explanations and affirmations of many Bible passages and traditional Church teachings including what is needed to attain Heaven and avoid hell, and how to progress through the stages of the spiritual life to union with God. Highly recommended for a better understanding of what God desires and requires of us. The book is also filled with wisdom including insights how to be happy, for example, "Man is placed above all creatures, and not beneath them, and he cannot be satisfied or content except in something greater than himself. Greater than himself there is nothing but Myself, the Eternal God. Therefore I alone can satisfy him." (page 111) This translation has been updated into modern English with minimal editing by Kathryn Marcellino, OCDS, www.catholicspiritualdirection.org. The editing mainly consists of changing older and archaic expressions to modern ones and replacing most archaic words to their modern equivalent.

St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!" We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.

"Man is placed above all creatures, and not beneath them, and he cannot be satisfied or content except in something greater than himself. Greater than himself there is nothing but Myself, the Eternal God. Therefore I alone can satisfy him, and, because he is deprived of this satisfaction by his guilt, he remains in continual torment and pain. Weeping follows pain, and when he begins to weep, the wind strikes the tree of self-love, which he has made the principle of all his being."These are the words of God the Father from "The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena," a practical and compelling work of Christian mysticism. The editor has modernized the language in this newly revised and edited edition of this timeless work for the benefit of the contemporary reader, while attempting to retain the solemnity of language in the original book. St. Catherine (1347-1380), virgin and Doctor of the Church, dictated the Dialogue during a state of ecstasy while in dialogue with God the Father. In it, the Eternal Father describes, through many different analogies, allegories, and metaphors, the spiritual life of humankind. In his description, God emphasizes, among other things, the importance of cultivating virtue, continually praying, and the need for obedience. Written at a time of spiritual and political upheaval, "The Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena" remains relevant even to the present day, and any reader will profit from the sound advice throughout this extraordinary work. Instructive and profound, the Dialogue is considered one of the greatest works of Christian mysticism of all time.Many people do not know that St Catherine was also a stigmatist, bearing the wounds and suffering the passion of Christ for the salvation of souls. She prayed to God to make the wounds invisible so as not to draw attention to herself. Only her confessor, Blessed Raymond of Capua, knew of her sharing in the sufferings of Our Lord until the day the saint died, when the wounds became visible for all to see.This edition of The Dialogue, originally published in 1907 (but now in more modern English in places where it will be helpful for the reader), includes an Introduction on the life and times of the saint as well as an account of her death by an eyewitness.See other excellent classic works published by the editor revised into relatively more modern English by searching "Darrell Wright". Thanks for looking, and also for positive reviews of them. God bless you.

The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena: A Revised Translation

"When My only-begotten Son returned to Me, forty days after the resurrection, this Bridge, namely Himself, arose from the earth, that is, from among the conversation of men, and ascended into Heaven by virtue of the Divine Nature and sat at the right hand of Me, the Eternal Father, as the angels said, on the day of the Ascension, to the disciples, standing like dead men, their hearts lifted on high, and ascended into Heaven with the wisdom of My Son -- 'Do not stand here any longer, for He is seated at the right hand of the Father!' When He, then, had thus ascended on high, and returned to Me the Father, I sent the Master, that is the Holy Spirit, who came to you with My power and the wisdom of My Son, and with His own clemency, which is the essence of the Holy Spirit. He is one thing with Me, the Father, and with My Son. And He built up the road of the doctrine which My Truth had left in the world. Thus, though the bodily presence of My Son left you, His doctrine remained, and the virtue of the stones founded upon this doctrine, which is the way made for you by this Bridge. For first, He practiced this doctrine and made the road by His actions, giving you His doctrine by example rather than by words; for He practiced, first Himself, what He afterwards taught you, then the clemency of the Holy Spirit made you certain of the doctrine, fortifying the minds of the disciples to confess the truth, and to announce this road, that is, the doctrine of Christ crucified, reproving, by this means, the world of its injustice and false judgment, of which injustice and false judgment, I will in time discourse to you at greater length." -From the Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena
