Edith Stein Symposium: Teresian Culture (Carmelite Studies, IV)

St. Thérèse of Lisieux attracts people today almost a full century after the end of her short life. A recent prize-winning film has borne witness to the fascinating appeal her person and thought have for the most varied audiences. The essays in this volume pay tribute to the spell she casts and mine the perennial spirit of the life-example and writings she has left us. In 1988 the Carmelites of the Ancient Observance organized a program of talks to explore just how close Thérèse remains to believers today. The text in this volume offer many insights into the richness of the Carmelite nun who was called by one of the popes of our century "the greatest saint of modern times." "One sign of appreciation for Thérèse-and it is mentioned several times in the eleven essays-was Alain Cavalier's beautiful, though flawed feature-length film, "Thérèse." Exiting from a showing of it here in Washington I heard one woman remark to another, 'How would you like to be like her?-so pure, so committed.' Those two characteristics of Thérèse are main poles of her up-to-date spirituality. Purity of intent-symbolized in so many vivid ways in her writings, but maybe none better than the words quoted by Graham Greene a while ago in his novella Monsignor Quixote, 'Before we die by the sword, let us die by pin stabs'-made of Thérèse a selfless, dedicated lover of personified Good. Her deep sense of commitment to God and neighbor led her to real sacrifices without turning in on herself. By them both, she smilingly directed her attention to people needing help around her: from Pranzini early on, to obnoxious nuns in the monastery, to those at the 'table of sinners,' on to will-o'-the-wisp Diana Vaughan who elicited so much of her sympathy. They moved her to deep, adult compliance with the Gospel imperative of touching others by effective love. Pure and committed: traits sought after by so many of us as we start out toward the other end of this decade . . ." from the Introduction of Experiencing Saint Thérèse Today

Experiencing St. Therese Today (CARMELITE STUDIES)

Prepared by a team of Discalced Carmelite Spanish and Italian scholars. Translated by Kieran Kavanaugh, OCD. The authors spent years of research in preparing this book, first released in 1991 in a limited edition, honoring the fourth centenary of that saint's death. Nothing can match it as a source of information about the life, times and teaching of St. John of the Cross. This beautifully presented biography is lavishly illustrated with photographs and is supplemented with articles on John's times, writings and teaching. This volume also presents an unknown side of the saint: his family background, his pastoral experience, his extensive travels and his administrative work. Over 800 color photographs.

John of the Cross: Conferences and Essays by Members of the Institute of Carmelite Studies and Others

This wise and widely-acclaimed book is written for those "who have advanced far enough in love to God to enter the Night of Faith and feel the need of explanation, guidance and reassurance." Drawing upon Scripture, classic spiritual authors-especially St. John of the Cross-and her own deep personal experience, author Barbara Dent examines the deep puifications we undergo as God cleanses us of sinful inclinations and tansforms us in love. Using poetry and prose, image and parable, she guides us through the sufferings, temptations, upheavals and workings of grace at the deepest levels of our being, as we journey through the darkness of faith to new life in Christ. "This book is concerned with what I learned experientially and fom reading the works of various fellow travellers, especially John of the Cross, during the two periods when the grain of wheat fell into the ground and died. Then my only friend was darkness-the darkness of faith that would not give up affirming what it believed-yet in that darkness wonders of grace happened." Barbara Dent, My Only Friend is Darkness Barbara Dent is a retired English teacher in New Zealand and the mother of three. A Secular Carmelite, she has published numerous aticles and books throughout the English-speaking world, and now spends much of the time in "prayer and study, writing, and giving spiritual and psychological guidance to those who turn to me for it."

Carmel in the Holy Land : From Its Beginnings to the Present Day

Silvano Giordano

Susan Muto enables the reader to appreciate the universe of Saint Teresa housed in the dwelling places of her classic work, The Interior Castle. Dr. Muto also deftly introduces us to what is at stake if one is to find success in the search for approaching God with sure step. The author uses her long-standing appreciation of psychology and spiritual theology to impart wise counsels about how to progress along the path traced by the mystical Madre of Carmel.  In lightning fashion Saint Teresa wrote her unforgettable work The Interior Castle in 1577. Her translator, Fr. Kieran Kavanaugh, assures us of the speed of her inspiration by asserting that the actual time spent on this spiritual masterpiece was a mere two months. Already a mature person, a vowed religious nun, and founder of reformed monasteries throughout Spain she gave to posterity in this seven-part treatise a classic of spiritual literature. Her wonderfully imaged text sets out an itinerary for the journey the soul must take to discover all that God has made inherent in every fulfilling quest after divine union.
