Commentary In Favor Of Books The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena

St. Catherine of Siena experienced her first mystical experience when she was only six years old, finding herself able to view guardian angels as clearly as she could see the people they protected. She became a Dominican tertiary at sixteen, and had numerous visions of Christ, The Blessed Virgin Mary and many saints. Although she never had any formal education, St. Catherine was one of the most brilliant theological minds of the 14th - or any - Century. Her visionary THE DIALOGUE, was dictated during a state of ecstasy while in dialogue with God the Father, and is considered among the most brilliant writings in the history of the Catholic Church. She died at the tender age thirty-three, and her body was found incorrupt in 1430. In 1940, Pope Pius XII named her a joint Patron Saint of Italy along with Saint Francis of Assisi. Pope Paul VI gave her the title of Doctor of the Church in 1970, along with Saint Teresa of Ávila, making them the first women to receive this honor.

Assess Epithetical Books The Dialogue of Saint Catherine of Siena

This amazing book is a dialogue between a devout soul (surely Catherine herself) and God the Father. The clear and vigorous prose tasted like strong wine for my mind, compared to the flaccid mushiness of what passes for so much of Catholic thought today. She considers the soul's freedom: All the Devil's stratagems and temptations and all the demons in Hell can't compel anybody to commit so much as the smallest sin. We are free; to obey God, or disobey. She considers Christ's body as bridge from

A lot of really lovely stuff here, though I admit that I dragged a bit midway (topical though this material is). St. Catherine's articulation of sin as nothingness is powerfully insightful; her systematic critique of selfishness is pressing; and her explanation the Dominican tradition of the elevation of the virtue of obedience is illuminating.

Well this book was deep and profound, I would anticipate a mystical conversation with God to be that much, God using her hand and pen, speaks through her and shares those more impressive mysteries of the spiritual life and devotionals. She shows how the Holy Trinity is working through both the Just and Wicked. The book at times though does feel like as if it was running on at times, but I suppose if one believes God spoke to this Saint, these "run-ons" are only there to further emphasize the

Complex, passionate, turbulent, extravagant, over the top - Catherine of Siena's Dialogue is a glorious romp with God.

One of the books that altered my life yet again! St. Catherine was a firehose of the Holy Spirit, a candle burning on both ends for Jesus. This is her conversation with God the Father as dictated in ecstasy over the course of several encounters. I recommend reading Sigrid Undset's "Catherine of Sienna" before reading if you know nothing about St. Catherine. Otherwise you may write her off--but I can guarantee everything written here is true. Every saint since her death has referenced St.

A difficult read, but well worth it. Over the past year I have become a great admirer of Catherine, even as I remained critical of some of her extreme practices. This work proves how sophisticated of a mystic she was and how advanced her own personal theology became near the end of her life. Stunning.

This qualifies as one of the best books of all times, in my humble opinion. It is fulfilling and life-changing, and satisfied my craving for knowledge, bringing one of those feelings of contentment and joy you can only feel in the heart. It is insightful, and at the same time not too complex for our limited minds. Despite her enlightenment, Saint Catherine of Sienna communicates her thoughts with clarity. The book itself answers questions I have long searched for, to which answers have never
