Synopsis
Excerpt from A Dictionary of Miracles: Imitative, Realistic, and Dogmatic; With Illustrations
St. Gregory the Great (dialogues, bk. Ii.) gives a remarkable instance. While St. Benedict was building the monastery of Mount Cassino, the monks thought the kitchen was on fire, and ran to tell St. Benedict, but the saint soon proved to them that the fire was wholly in their own imaginations.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a comprehensive examination of religious practices, beliefs, and superstitions prevalent in Christendom for centuries. It explores how earthly life was believed to be the domain of God and of Jesus Christ, while anything contradicting this reign was thought to be the work of Satan and his forces. Within this framework, supernatural powers such as healing through relics, exorcism for curing diseases, and communication with saints through prayers and visions were considered commonplace. The author's extensive research, drawing from primary sources like the Acta Sanctorum, provides a unique insight into the religious mindset of the early and mediaeval ages, shedding light on the profound influence it had on daily life. This book is an invaluable resource for scholars of religious history and anyone interested in comprehending the beliefs that deeply shaped Western civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780243280421_0
