Free Download Abandonment to Divine Providence By Jean-Pierre de Caussade
2007 | 404 Pages | ISBN: 1602064334 | EPUB | 1 MB
French writer JEAN PIERRE DE CAUSSADE (1675-1751) believed that the present moment is holy and that people should abandon themselves to present, a stance that is it stark contrast to the Catholic focus on the future and life after death. For de Caussade, living in the moment meant having a complete trust and faith in God, for God’s will defined and guided all things. The practical advice contained in his guidebook for the faithful was originally a series of letters written for the Nuns of the Visitation of Nancy, meant to help them navigate the confusing and difficult work of spiritual enlightenment, and comes together here in two distinct parts, one for the theoretical foundations of abandoning oneself to the present moment and one with practical advice on how to live such a life. Though a departure from the standard Christian perspective, Abandonment to Divine Providence remains a deeply spiritual work with a message that many Christians may find freeing and inspiring.

Free Download Paul Middleton, "The Violence of the Lamb: Martyrs as Agents of Divine Judgement in the Book of Revelation "
English | ISBN: 0567257126 | 2018 | 304 pages | PDF | 2 MB
The act of martyrdom in the worldview of the Apocalypse has been considered to be an exemplification of non-violent resistance. Paul Middleton argues here, however, that it is in fact a representation of direct participation by Christians, through their martyrdom, in divine violence against those the author of Revelation portrays as God’s enemies. Middleton shows that acceptance of martyrdom is to grasp the invitation to participate in the Revelation’s divine violence. Martyrs follow the model laid down by the Lamb, who was not only slain, but resurrected, glorified, and who executes judgement.

Free Download The Divine Motherhood By Dom Anscar Vonier
2014 | 98 Pages | ISBN: 0692303162 | EPUB | 1 MB
Abbot Vonier’s famous study of the Blessed Virgin’s divine motherhood is both a deep theological catechesis and a profound call to Catholic devotion. Vonier begins with a close reading of the revelation of divine motherhood in the gospels, contained especially in Luke’s accounts of the Annunciation, Visitation, and Presentation. He then moves to a theological reflection on God’s unlimited power to impart his glory to creation, even to the point of elevating Mary, a particular creature, to the status of a universal good, "the vastest, the most efficient, the most universal supernatural power in heaven and on earth, outside the Three Divine Persons."He writes, "Catholic theological thought … starts with the assumption that it is God’s wonderful purpose to make the things He creates as great as possible, to make very great things indeed. … God is wonderful not only in Himself, He is wonderful in His creatures."
