TeresaBenedicta Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 [i]Christian Perfection and Contemplation: According to St. Thomas Aquinas and St. John of the Cross[/i] by Fr. Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange OP Can I say "Whoa"?! I highly recommend this book, although I will admit that he something of a scholarly flow of writing, following in the footsteps of St. Thomas himself, which can sometimes make you go . Still, I think that this is a [i]treasure[/i] for those who are trying to get a firmer grasp of the way of both Christian perfection and contemplation... which, according to the thesis of this book, are both so intimately connected that it should never occur that the ascetic life should be separated from the so-called mystical life. Again, a little at times, but... if you are at all interested in Carmelite or Dominican spirituality or even the way of Christian perfection in general (which I would hope is all of you!), I highly recommend you put this on your to-read list.

sistersintigo Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I don't have them yet, but they are the next books I'm going to look for: the author was known as "Brother Choleric" and they were cartoons with captions. The post Vatican II volume was called "Cracks in the Curia" and the rest were called "Cracks in the Cloister" in multiple volumes. "Brother Choleric" was actually Dom Hubert von Zeller OSB of Downside Abbey, an Englishman born in Egypt. He wrote many serious books, some of which have been recommended on these phorums. My phorum search for "Brother Choleric" turned up absolutely nothing. Not a thread, not a post. It is said that the people who laugh the hardest at "Brother Choleric" are those best acquainted with monastic life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
