Excerpt from The Mediaeval Revival
Each epoch receives new lights from Him who is called the Sun of Righteousness and Truth. I desire only that these lights be penetrated by a flame as ardent as that which animated the fathers of our Churches. The great servants of God, who have departed from us, are as Elijahs borne away in a chariot of fire. Let us gather up, not their shroud - representing their portion of human errors and infirmities, of which we must beware of making dead traditions - but their mantle, that which symbolizes their generous and fruitful activity. This is the only way for the Elishas to perpetuate the Elijahs.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a captivating narrative of a significant period of medieval revival and religious transformation that began in the late 12th century and ended in the early 15th century. It was an era of significant change that saw the rise of new religious orders, the emergence of powerful leaders, and the spread of innovative ideas that challenged the established norms of the time. The author skillfully sets the stage by describing the social, political, and religious landscape of the period, highlighting the widespread disillusionment with the existing religious institutions and the yearning for a more personal and meaningful connection with God. Against this backdrop, the author introduces the key figures of the era, Saint Francis of Assisi and Saint Dominic, who emerged as leaders of two prominent religious ordersâ"the Franciscans and the Dominicans. The book delves into the lives and teachings of these influential figures, exploring their motivations, beliefs, and the impact they had on their contemporaries. It sheds light on the unique characteristics of each order, highlighting the emphasis on poverty, humility, and service among the Franciscans, and the focus on learning, preaching, and combating heresy among the Dominicans. The author provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges faced by these movements, including resistance from within the Church, persecution from secular authorities, and the need to adapt to the changing needs of society. Despite these challenges, both orders flourished, attracting followers from all walks of life and leaving a lasting legacy on Western Christianity. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the medieval revival, illuminating the complex interplay of religious, social, and political forces that shaped this transformative period. It demonstrates how the ideas and movements that emerged during this era laid the groundwork for significant changes in the practice and perception of Christianity and influenced the course of Western history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
