34 Flames of Divine Love

"Among spiritual giants towers the figure of St. John Eudes." - Ven. Fulton J. Sheen

In December 2016, Pope Francis accelerated a process to proclaim St. John Eudes a Doctor of the Church. In a few years he may be christened "Doctor Cordis" (the Doctor of the Heart), using the title given him by Pope St. Pius X: "the Father, Doctor, and Apostle of Devotion to the Hearts of Jesus & Mary."

This series is an introduction to his spirituality, widely available in English for virtually the first time.

In a few dense, passionate pages, St. John Eudes gives voice to the fullest, deepest, most vibrant expression of his mysticism. It expresses passionate love in a myriad of ways; both the love of God for humanity, and of this saint for the lover of his soul.

Meditations include passages such as:

- "Ignite in my soul, oh Jesus, a thirst so ardent for your holy love that I would consider it martyrdom just to love you insufficiently in return..." (p.4)
- "You love, desire, and pursue me with such intensity, my Lord and my God... you fear to lose me as if I were a precious treasure..." (p.15)
- "Everything in creation, all things visible and invisible, are so many voices by which You constantly cry out to me: 'I love you I love you Love me, for I have loved you first...'" (p.15)
