DIALOGUE || St Catherina of Siena
15 videos • 3,035 views • by Dominican House of Prayer “Immersed in Blood and Fire: Dialoguing with St. Catherine and God” Monthly Zoom Conference Talk and Discussion “A soul rises up, restless with tremendous desire for God’s honor and the salvation of souls.” This opening line of the Dialogue of St. Catherine of Siena captures what we too are about as a Dominican family. So let’s learn from St. Catherine together as we read, study, and pray with the Dialogue, counting on her intercession to plunge us deeper into the Blood and Fire! These coming months, we’ll ask this Doctor of the Church to guide us by the hand into the mystery of God and His plan of love for the world. Join us, by Zoom, the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7pm (EST), working through the Dialogue of St. Catherine, 25 pages per month. You can read along or simply show up. Each month, Fr. Ignatius John Schweitzer, OP will give a conference talk (45-60 minutes) on the next 25 pages, followed by a period of questions and comments from you all. We will begin Thursday, October 13 at 7pm (EST) using this Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/85064767154.... Feel free to leave as you need to if the discussion goes long. We will be using the question and answer option in Zoom rather than the chat box. The Zoom session will also be livestreamed on YouTube at the Dominican House of Prayer channel, where it will also be available afterwards too: https://www.youtube.com/c/DominicanHo.... Our Zoom account has a capacity of 300 participants, which should be plenty. However, if it fills up, you can always watch it live on the YouTube channel, which has unlimited capacity. Copies of the Dialogue can be purchased from our bookstore: https://dominicanbookstore.org/. Be sure to get Suzanne Noffke’s translation and the Paulist Press edition (ISBN 0809122332) since other versions are not complete. Note: we will begin our reading with page 25, where Catherine’s words begin, though you are encouraged to read the translator’s preface. The text can also be found online (but do you really want to deprive yourself of the pleasure of holding the book in your hand and the enrichment of marking it up with underlining and notes?): https://isidore.co/misc/Res%20pro%20D... Where will this journey with St. Catherine take us? As individuals and as a Dominican family, where will this Dominican deep-dive into the mystery of our share in the Trinity take us? Frankly, I’m not sure! But it will surely help us “be who we’re called to be and so set the world ablaze!”
