A Heart on Fire — St. John Eudes: A Model for the New Evangelization by Steven S. Marshall

Available in Paperback and Kindle formats

St. John Eudes is often portrayed holding in his hand a heart on fire, not only because he was on fire with love for God but also because he was excited to share that love with others. His life shows him to be a missionary who was sent to bring the fire of God’s love to those most in need of mercy, to evangelize those who had fallen away from the Church, and to re-ignite zeal in the hearts of priests who lacked a commitment to their ministry. In this short biography, we get a clear picture of who the man, John Eudes, was and what he did with the zeal burning in his heart and soul.

Un corazón en llamas: San Juan Eudes: Modelo para la nueva evangelización por Steven S. Marshall

Disponible en formato de tapa blanda

San Juan Eudes a menudo es retratado sosteniendo en su mano un corazón en llamas, no solo porque estaba ardiendo de amor por Dios, sino también porque estaba emocionado de compartir ese amor con los demás. Su vida lo muestra como un misionero enviado a llevar el fuego del amor de Dios a los más necesitados de misericordia, a evangelizar a los que se habían apartado de la Iglesia y a reavivar el celo en el corazón de los sacerdotes que carecían un compromiso con su ministerio. En esta breve biografía, obtenemos una imagen clara de quién era el hombre, John Eudes, y qué hizo con el celo que ardía en su corazón y alma.

In All Things, The Will of God: St. John Eudes Through His Letters by Bishop Clément Guillon CJM

Available in Paperback and Kindle formats

Seeking the will of God in all things; this was St. John Eudes’ sole ambition, his wondrous response to discovering the mystery of God’s love. He tried to always live in communion of mind and heart with Jesus and Mary. This is clear in his immense correspondence. The late Bishop Clément Guillon, Eudist Superior General when he wrote this book, chose 50 letters (from a collection of 243 extant letters by the saint) which he used to trace the teaching of St. John Eudes through his life. Bishop Guillon uses these letters to illustrate the dominant theme of the saint’s spirituality: seeking and living the will of God.

Each letter chosen constitutes a chapter which opens with a synopsis of the context in which the letter was written. Then follows a brief presentation highlighting the letter’s main points, and finally the text of St. John Eudes’ letter itself. Abundant footnotes shed a great deal of light on pertinent circumstances and people.

What role did St. John Eudes play in the French School of Spirituality? Who influenced his ideas? What was unique about his writing and teaching? In this volume about the history of the Eudists, Fr. John Howard sets the stage for a trip through history to uncover answers to these questions through three perspectives: the social and religious context of 17th Century France; the place of St. John Eudes in relationship to the other key figures of the French School; and the unique contribution of St. John Eudes.

Mother Antonia, foundress of the Sister Servants of the Eleventh Hour, ministers to people in prisons, encouraged and supported Fr. John's efforts. Mother Antonia's letter to her favorite priest serves as the foreword in this book.

The Life and the Kingdom of Jesus: A Treatise on Christian Perfection by St. John Eudes with introduction by Fulton J. Sheen

Available in Kindle format

St. John Eudes has been called “the wonder of his age.” Missionary, founder, reformer of the clergy, he crowded into a life of seventy-nine years so many and such varied accomplishments that one marvels how a single man could achieve so much. In addition to the activities of an incessant and many-sided apostolate, he wrote a number of valuable books. He ranks among the most prolific ascetic writers of the seventeenth century. 

The Life and Kingdom of Jesus in Christian Souls was his first book and it underwent numerous reprints throughout his lifetime and beyond. In this foundational book, he develops his spiritual teaching on the Christian life, namely that the Christian life is a continuation and fulfilment of the life of Jesus Christ in each one of us. Both inspiring and practical, he describes concrete ways that Christians can grow in a deeper relationship with Christ through a variety of prayers, spiritual exercises and the practice of Christian virtues.

For many years the devotional works of St. John Eudes were practically unknown. The republication of the works of St. John Eudes reveals the extent and depth of their spiritual doctrine. As Blessed Fulton J. Sheen once said: “Among Christianity’s spiritual giants towers the figure of St. John Eudes.”
