A jewel hidden among their number is the venerable father Louis de Ponte, SJ. Born at Valladolid in 1554, de Ponte lived a pure and innocent life, advancing much in spirituality and learning. He was an administrator in the Jesuit order, and retired due to ill health to devote himself to spiritual writing. In this book you will learn the hidden life of this largely unknown father, discover the wonders of his spiritual teaching, and his great love for Our Lord in holy Eucharist, as well as the heights of his mystical contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"De Ponte made use of all the great authors before him: in some sense it might be said that what S Thomas Aquinas was to dogmatic theology, that De Ponte was to mystical teaching and what the Summa Theologica did for Scholasticism that the Spiritual Guide has done for mysticism.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e-Bishop Alban Goodier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anonymous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1957066172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781957066172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mediatrix Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 214\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Anonymous","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43988770521343,"sku":"9781957066172","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1b0ca92a-c1c5-406c-93db-012b6aa3f019.jpg?v=1683296294","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-life-of-the-venerable-anonymous-9781957066172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
