Lee Smith Proud of its impeccable pedigrees and beautiful old houses, Charleston might lure any native boy into its snobbish spell, but Louis Rubin was drawn to another Charleston and a different vision. He preferred the docks to the yacht club basin. He loved baseball, not golf. He admired not the sleek passenger locomotives, but the Doodle Bug, a little train toodling through on its way to Savannah. Out of such young choices there grew a fine writer and a great American critic. The reader will discover Rubin's Charleston in this book.

Elizabeth Spencer Louis Rubin brings the city to life with his insider guide to a secret Charleston too often overlooked in the carriage tours and guidebooks of today. Rubin allows you to enter the soul of the real Charleston, revealing its essence and depth.

Bishop of Regensburg , Germany. Introduced Greek and Arabic science and philosophy to medieval Europe. Known for his wide interest in what became known later as the natural sciences — botany, biology, etc. Wrote and illustrated guides to his observations, and was considered on a par with Aristotle as an authority on these matters. Doctor of the Church. Dear Scientist and Doctor of the Church , natural science always led you to the higher science of God. Though you had an encyclopedic knowledge, it never made you proud, for you regarded it as a gift of God.

Inspire scientists to use their gifts well in studying the wonders of creation, thus bettering the lot of the human race and rendering greater glory to God. It is by the path of love, which is charity, that God draws near to man, and man to God. But where charity is not found, God cannot dwell.

The greater and more persistent your confidence in God, the more abundantly you will receive what you ask. He could not have commanded anything more beneficial, for this Sacrament is the fruit of the tree of life. Anyone who receives this Sacrament with the devotion of sincere faith will never taste death. It is a tree of life for those who grasp it, and blessed is he who holds it fast. The man who feeds on Me shall live on account of Me.

This sacrament is profitable because it grants remission of sins; it is most useful because it bestows the fullness of grace on us in this life. Christ could not have commanded anything more beneficial, for this sacrament is the fruit of the tree of life. Anyone who receives this sacrament with the devotion of sincere faith will never taste death. The man who feeds on me shall live on account of me.

It is characteristic of the greatest love to give itself as food. Who will feed us with his flesh to satisfy our hunger? I have loved them and they have loved me so much that I desire to be within them, and they wish to receive me so that they may become my members.

There is no more intimate or more natural means for them to be united to me, and I to them. Nor could he have commanded anything which is more like eternal life.

Recensie(s)

Eternal life flows from this sacrament because God with all sweetness pours himself out upon the blessed. Virgin and martyr whose story is know to us from a collection of legends, but no contemporary history. Her mother died when Margaret was an infant , and the girl was raised by a Christian woman. One day a Roman prefect saw the beautiful young Margaret as she was tending sheep , and tried to get her into his bed.

When she refused, the official denounced her as a outlaw Christian , and she was brought to trial. When she refused to sacrifice to the pagan gods, the authorities tried to burn her, then boil her in a large cauldron; each time her prayers kept her unharmed.

She was finally martyred by beheading. She was one of the saints who appeared to Saint Joan of Arc. One of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. Son of Alphaeus, he lived at Capenaum on Lake Genesareth. He was a Roman tax collector , a position equated with collaboration with the enemy by those from whom he collected taxes. He preached among the Jews for 15 years; his audiences may have included the Jewish enclave in Ethiopia , and places in the East. Saint John tells us: Our Lord summoned Matthew by speaking to him in words.

By an invisible, interior impulse flooding his mind with the light of grace, he instructed him to walk in his footsteps. In this way Matthew could understand that Christ, who was summoning him away from earthly possessions, had incorruptible treasures of heaven in his gift. Born to the nobility, Alphonsus was a child prodigy; he became extremely well- educated , and received his doctorate in law from the University of Naples at age He had his own legal practice by age 21, and was soon one of the leading lawyers in Naples , though he never attended court without having attended Mass first.

He loved music , could play the harpsichord, and often attended the opera, though he frequently listened without bothering to watch the over-done staging. As he matured and learned more and more of the world, he liked it less and less, and finally felt a call to religious life. He declined an arranged marriage , studied theology , and was ordained at age Preacher and home missioner around Naples.

He was afflicted with severe rheumatism , and often could barely move or raise his chin from his chest. In he resigned his see due to ill health , and went into what he thought would be a prayerful retirement. In the royal government threatened to disband his Redemptorists , claiming that they were covertly carrying on the work of the Jesuits , who had been suppressed in However, by this point Alphonsus was nearly blind , and was tricked into giving his approval to a revised Rule for the Congregation , one that suited the king and the anti -clerical government.

This caused Alphonsus a crisis in confidence and faith that took years to overcome. However, by the time of his death he had returned to faith and peace.

Stained Glass

Alphonsus vowed early to never to waste a moment of his life, and he lived that way for over 90 years. It would not be the first time you have placed Our Lord beneath your feet. The condition of the saints has been ordinarily one of dryness, not of sensible consolations. We must show charity towards the sick, who are in greater need of help. Let us take them some small gift if they are poor, or, at least, let us go and wait on them and comfort them.

If we should be saved and become saints, we ought always to stand at the gates of the Divine mercy to beg and pray for, as an alms , all that we need. How pleasing to Him it will be if you sometimes forget yourself and speak to Him of His own glory, of the miseries of others, especially those who mourn in sorrow; of the souls in purgatory, His spouses, who long to behold Him in Heaven; and of poor sinners who live deprived of His grace.

He who does not acquire the love of God will scarcely persevere in the grace of God, for it is very difficult to renounce sin merely through fear of chastisement. When we hear people talk of riches, honors and amusements of the world, let us remember that all things have an end, and let us then say: He who trusts himself is lost.

He who trusts in God can do all things. He who communicates most frequently will be freest from sin, and will make farthest progress in Divine Love. I love you, Jesus my love, I love you more than myself. I repent with my whole heart for having offended you. Never permit me to separate myself from you again. May I love you always, and then do with me as you will. In the first place, we must have this uniformity as regards those things of nature that come to us from without; as when there is great heat, great cold, rain, scarcity, pestilence, and the like.

We must take care not to say, What intolerable heat! Or other words expressive of repugnance to the will of God. We ought to will everything to be as it is, since God is he who orders it all. Most Holy and Immaculate Virgin! Thou who art the Mother of my Lord, the Queen of the world, the advocate, hope, and refuge of sinners! I, the most wretched among them, now come to thee. I worship thee, great Queen, and give thee thanks for the many favors thou hast bestowed on my in the past; most of all do I thank thee for having saved me from hell, which I had so often deserved.

I love thee, Lady most worthy of all love, and, by the love which I bear thee, I promise ever in the future to serve thee, and to do what in me lies to win others to thy love. In thee I put all my trust, all my hope of salvation. Receive me as thy servant, and cover me with the mantle of thy protection, thou who art the Mother of mercy! And since thou hast so much power with God, deliver me from all temptations, or at least obtain for me the grace ever to overcome them.

Pray to her for help in taking care of those from another land. Anne with daughter St. Mary as a child. Her feast day is July 26th. The Church teaches us that parents are the primary teachers of the Faith to their children.
