Reseña del editor:

"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.

Biografía del autor:

Darrell Wright (editor) received his Licentiate in Philosophy, magnum cum laude from the Angelicum University in Rome and is Co-founder of the Knights of the Holy Rosary. He taught in various Catholic schools, and spent several years studying for the priesthood, then a number of years as a contemplative monk, at the end of which he was encouraged to seek God's will elsewhere on account of his politically incorrect beliefs re- allowing homosexuals into seminaries and religious communities, the bogus "War on Terror" based on the 911 false flag black operation, being an admirer of Dr E Michael Jones and "Culture Wars" magazine, and, well....you get the idea. His other publications include "The Revelations of St Bridget and Church Reform"; "Faith and Reason in St Thomas Aquinas According to Etienne Gilson: An Introduction to Christian Philosophy"; "Titanic II: The Diary of Rose Dawson," a screenplay with a Catholic theme; "The Bad Kids Book of Poems: Cautionary Verse For Morals, Manners, and Not Being Stupid" (Illustrated); a survivalist/"doomsday prepper" book; as well as numerous Catholic Classics, especially by the saints, which he has translated, revised and/or edited, all available on Amazon (search "darrell wright"). He presently lives on a creek in the beautiful Gold Country in CA with his 91 year old mother and is hoping, God willing, to find a traditional Catholic soul mate who ideally is even a like-minded "conspiracy theorist" -- or at least can put up with one. "If you want to know who rules over you, just ask yourself whom you're not allowed to criticize." Darrell can be reached at darrell@knightsoftheholyrosary.com.
