Excerpt from The Science of the Saints

The volume herewith presented to the public, is the second part of a work whose subject-matter, as outlined in the general Introduction, may be expressed in this one sentence: How man, such as he is, must rise above the world in which he lives, towards God for whom he was created.' The first part, which appeared in print in the year 1902, treats of man, such as he is; the second part, which is now given to the press, treats of the world in which he lives; the third part, which is to follow in due course, treats of God for Whom he was created. In the present volume, even more than in the preceding, it has seemed well to give copious extracts from Catholic theologians and other standard authors. In dealing, especially, with certain questions in which authority is wont to carry more weight than pure reasoning, quotations are very frequently used, when the same ideas might have been expressed with greater facility or brevity, in the writer's own language.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book embarks on a profound exploration of the human condition within the framework of Christian teachings, drawing inspiration from renowned theologians and spiritual guides. It delves into the dichotomy of the world, distinguishing between the divine creation that reflects God's love and the human-constructed world often characterized by vanity and a departure from spiritual values. Grounded in the wisdom of the Church Fathers and scriptural references, the author delves into the nature of worldliness, exploring its manifestations in various aspects of life, including religion, morality, wealth, pleasure, and societal pressures. The text critically examines the influence of rationalism and the allure of materialism, contrasting them with the importance of faith, humility, and detachment from worldly pursuits. This book offers a timeless reflection on the challenges and temptations faced by individuals seeking a life of spiritual growth amidst the complexities of the world. It emphasizes the ongoing struggle between good and evil, urging readers to discern the true value of creation and to navigate the path towards lasting fulfillment in God. The insights presented serve as a guiding light, illuminating the path to a life of meaning and purpose beyond the fleeting allure of worldly pursuits. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
