New Books - St. Vincent Ferrer & St. Teresa of Jesus

[Shin]

We have some new books added to Saints' Books.

Abbe Maynard's 'Virtues and Spiritual Doctrine of St. Vincent de Paul'

'He did not look on beautiful landscapes, or at magnificent buildings. He never plucked a flower. To their perfume he preferred the fetid odor of hospitals, or of the sick room. Notwithstanding his sensibility to extreme temperatures he never took any precaution against cold or heat; he never wore gloves in winter, and his hands, like his limbs, were swollen and chapped.'

'A Few Sweet Flowers Collected from the Writings of St. Teresa'

'The life above, the life on high, alone is life in verity; Nor can we life at all enjoy, till this poor life is o'er; Then, O sweet Death! no longer fly, from me, who, ere my time to die, am dying evermore; for evermore I weep and die, dying because I do not die.'

Also please note we have a book of meditations for this holy season for download, noted in the featured section at the top of the library.

Please enjoy the splendid books!

St. Teresa's prayer poem, which a bit of is quoted in above, is at the end of the book in the appendix. It's beautiful to read.

Deo gratias et Mariae semper Virgini!
