Their mission was humble and simple: to reach the poor country people, who suffered from ignorance of their faith, a debased clergy, and poverty. In response, Vincent De Paul defined the vocation of his “Little Company” as preaching local missions for free, educating the clergy, and working to relieve the people’s poverty. Soon, however, this vocation was complicated by commands to minister to royal families, including Louis xiv of France and the kings and queens of Poland, which would embroil the Vincentians in international and ecclesiastical politics. In addition, they would begin dangerous foreign missions, such as ministering to the Christian captives of the Barbary pirates, the d...
THE SUBTITLE OF THIS VOLUME is “An Era of Expansion, (1878–1919).” It reflects the reality of the Congregation of the Mission under the leadership of Antoine Fiat, the superior general who governed the Community longer than St. Vincent de Paul. Like the founder, Fiat was a man of both prayer and action. Also like the founder, Fiat was often hesitant and delayed final decisions. His confreres spread to new missions, such as the republics of Central America and Argentina, and several missions or provinces had grown large enough to be given more autonomy, such as the two American provinces, the Antilles, Barcelona, Ecuador, Belgium and Holland, Madagascar, and Colombia. China continued to...

A rich portrait of a compelling, complex woman who emerged from a sheltered rural childhood into the fraught, often deadly world of the French royal court and Parisian high society—and who would come to rule them both. Married off at sixteen to a military officer she barely knew, Marie de Vignerot was intended to lead an ordinary aristocratic life, produce heirs, and quietly assist the men in her family rise to prominence. Instead, she became a widow at eighteen and rose to become the indispensable and highly visible right-hand of the most powerful figure in French politics—the ruthless Cardinal Richelieu. Richelieu was her uncle and, as he lay dying, the Cardinal broke with tradition an...

Buku ini menyajikan kekayaan spiritualitas dan karisma kongregasi dengan dinamika kehidupan budaya, ekonomi, sosial dan agama pada abad XIX di Belanda pada umumnya, dan di s-Hertogenbosch pada khususnya. Buku ini dibingkai dengan pandangan Sandra Schneiders tentang spiritualitas, bahwa spiritualitas adalah pengalaman keterlibatan sadar dalam proyek integrasi kehidupan, melalui transendensi-diri, menuju apa yang dianggap sebagai nilai tertinggi. Namun, pengalaman sangat sulit untuk didefinisikan dan masalahnya diperparah dengan penambahan komponen spiritual. Oleh karena itu, saya memutuskan untuk menggunakan pendekatan William James, untuk lebih fokus pada perasaan, tindakan dan pengalaman individu dalam kesendirian mereka, sejauh mereka melihat posisi diri mereka dalam kaitannya dengan apa pun yang mereka anggap ilahi itu penting untuk mendapatkan informasi pengalaman religius. Selain itu, focus perhatian pada pengalaman menjadi pribadi, pengalaman diri sendiri, pengalaman religius, pengalaman transendensi, pengalaman iman, pengalaman social budaya, pengalaman proses spiritual, pengalaman belum dewasa atau matang juga penting.
അതിശക്തമായി അനുഭവപ്പെട്ടത് പത്തൊൻപതാം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലാണ്. ഈ നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലെ മനോഹാരിതയെന്നു പറയുന്നത് തിരുസഭയുടെ വിശുദ്ധ ആരാമത്തിൽ വിശ്വാസികളുടെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ഇടം തേടിയ അനേകം മാതൃഭക്തരായ വിശുദ്ധർ ജീവിച്ചിരുന്നു എന്നുള്ളതാണ്. ആത്മീയ സംസ്കാരത്തിന് പോറലേൽപ്പിച്ച ഭൗതികവാദവും ലൗകികായത്വവുമെല്ലാം കൊടികുത്തി വാണിരുന്ന ഈ നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലാണ് മാതാവിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ഇടപെടലും ഉണ്ടായിട്ടുള്ളത്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ പത്തൊൻപതാം നൂറ്റാണ്ടിനെ '
In the wake of the French Revolution and other upheavals, Don Bosco (1815–1888) and other nineteenth-century founders and spiritual leaders contributed to the development of spiritual practices and perspectives on the Christian life that have been described as the “Salesian Pentecost.” Here are translations of and commentaries on the little-known spiritual writings of Don Bosco, his collaborators, and his contemporaries involved in the Salesian Pentecost. These diverse persons, fully engaged in apostolic ministry or occupied with the demands of ordinary life as lay women and men, were at the same time engaged in conscious spiritual practices that sought the interior exchange of the heart of Jesus for the human heart.
God is Love. To believe in this God of unconditional Love is a lived experience in each person and in each generation everywhere on the globe and all different cultures and historical periods. In the beginning of the nineteenth century we notice in the south of the Netherlands a strong movement to renew and to actualise the Catholic faith in the concrete circumstances of poverty and political neglect. In this way the Congregation of the Sisters of Charity Daughters of Mary and Joseph was founded on 7 July 1820 in ’s Hertogenbosch. Similar to several other congregations in the same period St Vincent de Paul was their principal source of inspiration, determined their charism and remained at ...
