“He Was A Great Lover Of England”
Dominic
Barberi and the Conversion of J. H. Newman
by Fr. Gregor Lenzen, C.P.
Provincial of the
South German–Austrian
Vice-Province of the Passionists with its seat in
Munich.
Fr. Dominic of the
Mother of God was a spiritual son of St. Paul of the Cross (1694-1775), the
founder of the Passionists, about whom Newman writes in his novel “Loss and
Gain”, “…the thought of England came into his ordinary prayers; and in his
last years, after a vision during Mass, as if he had been Augustine or
Mellitus, he talked of his ‘sons’ in England.” Dominic Barberi turned
his founder’s vision into action when he set off from Rome for Belgium in 1840
with three of his confreres to make preparations for founding a community in
England.

"Spiritual Discernment
In The Diary Of
St. Paul Of The Cross"
by Fr. Gregor Lenzen, C.P.
Provincial of the
South German–Austrian
Vice-Province of the Passionists with its seat in
Munich.
 In the opening entry of his diary St. Paul of the Cross sounds the
characteristic tone of the whole Diary when he writes, "that the most holy
will of our dear God is being fulfilled.'
The diary entries
recording his 40-day retreat at the church of St. Charles in Castellazzo begin
on 23 November 1720. This valuable document is a compelling witness to the
spiritual discernment and decisions of a human being in existential dialogue
with God. The Saint here is laying the
foundations for an authentic process of spiritual discernment, the aim of
which finally was always to do the will of God. The Spiritual Diary of
Paul Francis Danei, considered by Joseph De Guibert "to be one of the classic
texts of Catholic mysticism", was the result of an inner spiritual process of
which we shall now offer a brief outline.

"The
Life of Charles of Mt. Argus"
Compiled
from:
Paul Francis Spencer, C.P.:
“To Heal the
Brokenhearted”
Brian D’Arcy, C.P.: “Blessed Charles of
Mount Argus”
Roger Mercurio, C.P.: “The Passionists”
Fr. Charles Houben of Mount Argus was outstanding in
holiness and a living witness to God’s mercy and compassion toward the sick
and suffering. Fr. Charles gave a powerful witness to Christ the Healer,
whose Heart was moved to compassion whenever He encountered those who suffer
in body or in soul. Our new saint is someone we definitely need to get to
know! Here we trace some of the steps in the life journey of Charles.
