We're delighted to bring back this rare Catholic work from Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman. Excerpt: 1. Abbot Antony said: The days are coming when men will go mad; and, when they meet a man who has kept his senses, they will rise up against him, saying, "You are mad, because you are not like us." 2. While Arsenius was still employed in the imperial court, he asked of God to lead him in the way by which he might be saved. Then a voice came to him: "Arsenius, flee the company of men, and thou art in that saving way." 3. Abbot Agatho said: Unless a man begin with the observance of the Precepts, he will not make progress in any one virtue.
John Henry Newman was a Roman Catholic priest and cardinal who converted to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism in October 1845. In early life, he was a major figure in the Oxford Movement to bring the Church of England back to its Catholic roots.
Eventually his studies in history persuaded him to become a Roman Catholic. Both before and after becoming a Roman Catholic, he wrote a number of influential books.
