Jake Huether Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) Well, it's past Sunday the 8th. Have you guys finished yet?? Well, if I may point out, quite off the topic, if you go to the pdf website for this book and go to the home page of the site (by deleting the title of the book off the URL) they actually have several online books. I'd like to suggest reading St. Therese's story. Edited February 10, 2004 by Jake Huether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted February 11, 2004 Author Share Posted February 11, 2004 Well, it's past Sunday the 8th. Have you guys finished yet??

I'd like to suggest reading St. Therese's story. I'm finished with the introduction and am about to start the first meditation. I hope to be through with the first few chapters by Sunday. There's another thread dedicated to reading the next few chapters. We won't start another book until this one is finished, which will be in about 3 more weeks.

Seven77 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Some thoughts: The Biography of Ven. Anne Catherine Emmerich... what a heroic, beautiful soul. She suffered so much, sharing in the Passion in her frame. She even took on the sufferings of others to relieve them of it. She did penance for whole dioceses! wow... first few Meditations: the Chalice that Jesus used in the Insititution of the Holy Eucharist is the same chalice used by Melchizedek! Ark of the Covenant had once rested in the Building! Eucharistic themes everywhere, foreshadowings being fulfilled! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pontifex Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 Okay, I am blown away by what I have read so far. I am behind a bit, but that's the life I live, what can I say. The Author mentions something in the first mediation though that strikes me as odd and it is really something I never thought about. She says that the devil was blinded from the fact that Jesus was the Son of God. (p. 102) (Chapter 1 of the Passion) I guess I have always been under the assumption that satan knew who jesus was in reality. Anybody else get that? Fr. Pontifex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted February 16, 2004 Author Share Posted February 16, 2004 One of the coolest things she could do was automatically know if something was consecrated or not. What a gift! She could even sense when the Eucharist was near her and often would wait on the road when she sensed that a priest was going to be passing by with it... It reminds me of a scene in "The Passion of the Christ" when Mary senses Jesus in a special way... I don't want to spoil the scene, so I'll leave it at that. I must read faster to catch up and finish this book before Ash Wednesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sort of rubbed me the wrong way, because I know from Scripture we read that when a certain someone tried to cast out demons in the name of Jesus and Paul, the demon said, "I know Jesus and I know Paul, but you I don't know". We also know that Satan was with God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit before he rebelled. Although, the Son did not yet have a human nature. I suppose it could have been that way. I mean, even his own disciples didn't recognize him after the resurrection. He was made known in the breaking of the Bread. Also, as you will read, it makes sense with what happens to Christ in the Garden, the night before his Passion; how Satan torments him as if he were one of us. (Not to give too much away). Anyway, I agree with you though. That struck me as odd at the very least. Edited February 17, 2004 by Jake Huether Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
