Collection of texts from Saint Thomas Aquinas, organized by father Dennis Mezárd in a form of meditation for everyday of the lent.

Meditations for Lent

Published in Latin under the name *"Medulla S. Thomae Aquinatis : per omnes anni liturgici dies distributa seu meditationes ex operibus S. Thomae depromptae"* (*[WorldCat](https://www.worldcat.org/title/medulla-s-thomae-aquinatis-per-omnes-anni-liturgici-dies-distributa-seu-meditationes-ex-operibus-s-thomae-depromptae/oclc/757887571)*) by father Dennis Mezárd. It is a collection of writings from Saint Thomas Aquinas, neatly organized to be read and meditated on during the tridentine liturgical year.
 
As it is expected in the texts from the great Saint Thomas Aquinas, the meditations are from a higher theological and philosophical order, exploring a doctrinal perspective of the meditation where one can ponder for hours the implications of such precise explanations as the Saint usually does.
 
The readings often remind us of the liturgical text of the day. Meditating on this work in the morning, before attending daily Mass, is of great spiritual value.
 
The Latin Version can be found partially online on [UltraMontes.pl](https://www.ultramontes.pl/medulla_s_thomae.htm) and a full version is available on [Google Play Store](https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Denys_Mezard_Medulla_S_Thomae_Aquinatis_per_omnes?id=RJVtb_2KQ_4C).
 
The meditations for lent were translated to English by father Philip Hughes and is available online on [Archive.org](https://archive.org/stream/meditationsforle00aquiuoft/meditationsforle00aquiuoft_djvu.txt)

Meditations for Lent from the texts of Saint Thomas Aquinas

Monday after Quinquagesima

Holiness

Texts from Saint Alphonsus of Liguori organized by Brother John Baptist Coyle to be meditated on every day of the liturgical year.

Morning Meditations

The original title of this book is "Meditations and Readings for every day of the year from the writings of St. Alphonsus" in 4 Volumes, each volume composed by 2 books. The 8 books together have over 1200 pages.

First book was published in 1923 by Father John Baptiste Coyle C.SS.R. . Who worked for many years to organize and publish the writings of this great doctor of the church.

> It was a labour of many years but, needless to say, a labour of love.

Every day father Coyle proposes 3 readings:

1. Morning Meditation
2. Evening Meditation
3. Spiritual Reading

In this digital form, we decided to make the 3 types of readings as if they were 3 different books, since the subject of the Morning Meditation of one day, is continued in the Morning Meditation of the next day. The same happens for Evening Meditation and Spiritual Reading.

This work has been already published by [Sensus Fidelium](https://sensusfidelium.com/meditations/st-alphonsus/st-alphonsus-daily-meditations/) and by [Religious Bookshelf Team](https://www.religiousbookshelf.com/meditations-and-readings/).

Textos de de Santo Afonso de Ligório organizados pelo Padre Thiago Maria Cristini para serem meditados a cada dia do ano liturgico.

Meditações para todos os dias

Com título \"Meditações para todos os dias e festas do anno tiradas das obras ascéticas de Santo Afonso Maria de Ligório, Bispo e Doutor da Santa Igreja\", essa excelente obra foi compilada pelo Padre Thiago Maria Cristini (CSSR) e traduzida para o português pelo padre João de Jong.
 
Nesta obra o Padre Cristini se valeu da \"Le Opere Complete di Sant'Alfonso de' Liguori\" (A obra completa de Santo Afonso de Ligorio).
 
Com maestria, o pe. Cristini organizou os textos de Santo Afonso em leituras para serem meditadas em cada dia do ano litúrgico. As leituras com frequência nos remetem a liturgia do dia na missa tridentina. Portanto, meditar nos textos dessa obra pela manhã, antes de assistir a missa diária, é de grande valia espiritual.
 
Os textos de Santo Afonso são de uma beleza imensa, diferente de uma obra de teologia ou filosofia, o Santo, como que, escreve uma carta para o seu leitor, tentando animá-lo na fé e movê-lo a perfeição espiritual.
 
A obra é dividida em 3 Tomos, todos disponibilizados online em locais como [Alexandria Católica](https://alexandriacatolica.blogspot.com/2011/03/fonte-meditacoes-para-todos-os-dias-e.html) e no [Docer](https://docer.pl/doc/xe80e15) .

De leitura fácil e rápida, mas ainda mantendo uma rica espiritualidade, o Breviário da Confiança do Monsenhor Ascânio, é, sem dúvida, uma pérola para os leitores da língua portuguesa.
