Synopsis "34 Flames of Divine Love: Elevations of the Heart Toward god by st. John Eudes (Eudist Prayerbook Series) (Volume 4) "

"Among spiritual giants towers the figure of St. John Eudes." - Ven. Fulton J. Sheen In December 2016, Pope Francis accelerated a process to proclaim St. John Eudes a Doctor of the Church. In a few years he may be christened "Doctor Cordis" (the Doctor of the Heart), using the title given him by Pope St. Pius X: "the Father, Doctor, and Apostle of Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus & Mary." This series is an introduction to his spirituality, widely available in English for virtually the first time. In a few dense, passionate pages, St. John Eudes gives voice to the fullest, deepest, most vibrant expression of his mysticism. It expresses passionate love in a myriad of ways; both the love of God for humanity, and of this saint for the lover of his soul. Meditations include passages such as: - "Ignite in my soul, oh Jesus, a thirst so ardent for your holy love that I would consider it martyrdom just to love you insufficiently in return..." (p.4) - "You love, desire, and pursue me with such intensity, my Lord and my God... you fear to lose me as if I were a precious treasure..." (p.15) - "Everything in creation, all things visible and invisible, are so many voices by which You constantly cry out to me: 'I love you! I love you! Love me, for I have loved you first...'" (p.15) Check out our other prayerbooks on Amazon, as well as a short biography titled A Heart on Fire: St. John Eudes, Model of the New Evangelization.

Thomas Merton (1915-1968) was an American Trappist monk, writer, and poet, known for his works on spirituality, mysticism, and social justice. His most influential book, The Seven Storey Mountain (1948), is a spiritual autobiography that became a classic of religious literature. Other notable works include New Seeds of Contemplation (1961) and Mystics and Zen Masters (1966), where he explores the contemplative life and social responsibility from faith.

Merton wrote about interfaith dialogue, especially with Buddhism and Hinduism, influencing modern spiritual thought. His writings combine philosophical depth with accessible prose, making him one of the most relevant figures of the 20th century in the religious and humanist fields.
