The Ladder of Divine Ascent: Chapter One: On Renunciation, Part I

[@monizoe3188]

This is way over my head so I love the comments and getting in depth. I'm not sure why this has come to my attention but it was the desert Father's that started the journey back to Catholicism for me... Bless you all abundantly

This is one of the most spiritually profound writings of all ages. A true auxiliary of the Holy Bible.

[@jokedesimpelaere179]

So deeply grateful for this. Thank God, thank you 🙏🕊

First ! I love father Abernathy ! Im shocked my favorite Latin rite channel is coinciding with my favorite Eastern priest

[@SensusFidelium]

this isn't east or west channel... it's Catholic

[@olololo9224]

@@SensusFidelium amen! You just don’t have any N. O stuff, since it’s not Catholic 😉

[@SensusFidelium]

@@olololo9224 I have a few. There’s good priests who say it

[@seans.131]

@@SensusFidelium Forgive me, but Father's last name is spelled Abernethy. Thank you so much for including the lectures by him. God bless!

​@@olololo9224 God bless you, but some of the holiest priests I know are Novus Ordo.

I am a convert from Eastern Orthodoxy. I attend a Latin Mass parish because there are no Byzantine Catholic Churches in my area. I truly love the traditional Latin Rite, in fact in ways I prefer it over the Byzantine Rite. However, I have been surprised and disappointed at how little Latin Catholics read and cite the Eastern Fathers. I am happy that Sensus Fidelium is putting on this series. It’s needed. Latin Catholics can only receive great spiritual benefit by diving into the eastern Fathers. We must share and spread this content wide among the Latin Catholics.

[@SensusFidelium]

Amen.

What made you convert? I've been studying the differences between the two.

Can u recommend some good writing on the eastern fathers😊

God bless this great information. How can the novus ordo mass be valid??? The reformation called Vatican ll is the end of tradition pasted on by great Holy Saints like this Holy Man. Salvation is our purpose, not entertaining people in the church. I have chosen to stay home and practice my faith. It is legal if in doubt, stay out. Hail Mary full of Grace. Keep safe and pray and do penances.

Joh. 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for *without me ye can do nothing* Tit. 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and *renewing of the Holy Ghost* Is. 27:5 Or let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me. Ps. 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; Matt. 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall *humble himself as this little child,* the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. Holy Spirit quides on everything there is nothing we can do without Jesus so there has to be> death to self >surrendering ( to the mercies /protection of the Father , becoming a little child/ Surrendering to Holy Spirit , renewing, letting to take contrl ( don't quench the spirit ), fill you. /surrendering to Jesus , hearing and obeying, taking the cross, pray. Also shamans fast and practice absence of bodily desires there is level on which you can go with human efforts but we need to become less in our own strength and more in the need of Him not something we achieve by our self.

[@nukepowersm.d.7160]

If this is chapter one part one, why does he start on page 53? Is there that much of prologue and introduction, etc?

[@SensusFidelium]

Yes. In that particular edition there are intros and such

[@nukepowersm.d.7160]

Thank you!

[@allenmurphy6565]

What edition are you using?

[@malbamope]

Which translation are you using, if not the Paulist?

[@sgmburke]

Which translation of the book is being used in this series?

[@SergeantPancake]

This is late, but I believe he is using the version published in 2012 by Holy Transfiguration Monastery. The book is their revised version of a 1959 translation by Father Lazarus Moore.

We can not say "saints" to the orthodox priests. Because they are not in united with Papacy. If you say "saints and true priests and shepherds" to the orthodox, you MUST accept to the SSPX! Because they are True Catholic.

[@PaulusBasegmez]

@@SensusFidelium sorry I didn't said about St John. It's about "St." Teophan the Recluse.

[@SensusFidelium]

@@PaulusBasegmez oh I gotcha

[@PaulusBasegmez]

@@SensusFidelium Thank you brother. May Our Blessed Mother Mary be with you.

[@SAINTRAPHAELMARY]

Sorry , SSPX has no validly ordained priests. You need a papal mandate to ordain bishops. They operate outside the Majesterium. I choose to stay at home and practice my faith. Under Canon law if in doubt we can stay out . Apostacy is happening in our time . Just look at Vatican ll atrocities. Pray the Rosary and do penances please. Keep your faith and fight the good fight. Mother Mary please guide us to eternal happiness in heaven.

[@SAINTRAPHAELMARY]

We can't have 2 churches. Traditional vs novus ordo. This is diabolical, (division) Keep practising yr faith as prescribed by Christ and passed on by the apostles and Holy Saints. The only way to repay love ❤ is with ❤ LOVE. Prayer and penances.
