A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Dominican women of the Third Order, holds a different position from that of either her great predecessor and namesake of Siena or the Saint of the New World who was a little girl when she died, Rose of Lima. These two were Tertiaries in the strict sense of the word, remaining inmates of their respective parents houses to the end of their lives. St Catherine de Ricci, on the contrary, was not only a conventual tertiary, but she belonged to a community which, although of the Third Order, was enclosed behind a grille and led a strictly contemplative life. I ts members had nothing to do with hospitals, orphanages, schools, or any kind of charitable institutions, doing no active work except what was absolutely needful for their own support: such as needlework or confectionery, etc., which they sold; and even these occupations were lessened as far as possible under Catherine srule, to give more time for prayer. In fact, had it not been that their constitutions were of a less severe nature as to fast and abstinence, the sisters of her convent might almost as well have belonged to the Second Order as to the Third. Hence it is as a model rather of a contemplative nun, than of what we in England usually understand by a conventual tertiary, that this contemporary of St Philip Neri and StM ary Magdalen de Pazzi must be regarded. A gain, wide as was her acquaintance with seculars of every kind, so that her life was by no means a hidden one like StR ose s, the nun of Prato was not a great historical character like StC atherine of Siena, whose wonderful vocation was clearly inconsistent with a cloistered life. Catherine de Ricci had great fame in her own time and country, There are many Blessed.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
