Book Description
Catherine de Hueck Doherty (1896-1985), a Russian-born aristocrat who has recently been proposed for canonization, emigrated to North America, dedicated her life to promoting "the gospel without compromise." Her vision combined a deep spirituality with a commitment to social justice. One of her early projects was the Harlem-based Friendship House, which attracted a young Thomas Merton. Later, with her second husband, Eddie Doherty, she established Madonna House in Combermere, Ontario. Though Roman Catholic, Catherine drew on her Russian roots and helped popularize the concept of Poustinia (the Russian word for desert)a place where a person meets God through solitude, prayer, and fasting. These writings, drawn from 25 books, highlight her distinctive spirituality, with its emphasis on the presence of God, the practice of prayer, a love for the church, and a deep apprehension of the social dimension of the gospel.

Strannik
Author: Catherine DohertyPublisher: Combermere, Ont. : Madonna House Publications
ISBN: 9780921440246
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 85
Book Description
Strannik is the Russian word for "pilgrim," one with a vocation-a unique, holy calling. Pilgrimage is more than something you `do.' `Being a pilgrim' consumes all of you. The pilgrim is to "be the Gospel and to preach it with his words and with his being." In Strannik, Catherine shows that pilgrimage is not just something for a few spiritual ascetics with wanderlust. Even less does it resemble the modern tourist-style `pilgrimages' that try to cover as many holy places as possible in the briefest time possible. Rather, the true strannik begins by looking within the self, where God already is. While the author does tell us about external pilgrimages such as she herself experienced as a child in Russia, the pilgrimages she is writing about are principally interior. Pilgrimage comes out of a quest for God. Catherine speaks of the "nostalgia for paradise" which all human beings have experienced since Adam and Eve. Without Christ we cannot complete our journey. "Christ was the pilgrim who pilgrimed from the bosom of the Father to the hearts of men and women."
Molchanie

Category : Silence
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
How to enter into the immense, healing silence of God... Molchanie is Russian for "silence." In language poetic and meditative yet direct and simple, the author invites us to share her own pilgrimage into God's silence. It lasts as long as one's life, and involves purification, union with God, work and suffering, culminating in the miraculous experience of the divine silence. Much of Molchanie is allegory, full of visions and imagination--it is an allegorical pilgrimage. "This is a book for all, but especially for very busy people. No special learning is required. If one can read the Gospel, one can read Molchanie. Those who are weary and a bit battered by life, its pressures and tumult, will find here refreshment and joy." - St. Anthony Messenger
