Sinossi
Può considerarsi l'opera Cateriniana per eccellenza in quanto costituisce la sintesi del pensiero della Santa e la base della sua laurea a Dottore della Chiesa. Il Dialogo rappresenta un documento eccezionale e una delle poche testimonianze in cui una Santa pone direttamente delle domande a Dio Padre e riceve delle risposte sulle varie questioni di fede. Destinatari sono tutti coloro che desiderano capire di piu' la figura di Santa Caterina e di Dio Padre misericordioso, un babbo, come lo ha definito Sua Santità Giovanni Paolo II, che si comporta come tale nel dialogo con Caterina.

Recensioni
Second only to Divine Mercy in My Soul, this book had the greatest impact on my spiritual reformation. This opening line, God speaking to St. Catherine, captured my heart and soul: "Open the eye of your intellect, and gaze into Me, and you shall see the beauty of My rational creature." It is absolutely Leggi tutto
What a wonderful piece of spiritual reading! I picked this up once a number of years ago and found it way too dense for me, but for some reason this go-round was much easier? The difference might be Dante. Yeah. I think I can thank my high school literature teacher for assigning loads of Dante to us, Leggi tutto
I'm not sure if it was the translation I had or just my mood. But this was not an easy read. I just read it in small doses, which is why it took me so long to read it.
A vibrant simplicity, reminiscent of Augustine, at times, fills this series of treatises in which St. Catherine of Siena, Doctor of the Church and mystic hears God the Father answering her requests in order to receive help to be saved. Between the most important aspects of the books are the communit Leggi tutto
I struggled to appreciate Catherine as much as some other mystics. She has some beneficial things to say. But she also says that "[the sight of] the punishment of the damned makes the just (i.e. the saved) rejoice even more in [God's] goodness." If ever there were a description of sadism, that would Leggi tutto
St. Catherine dictated this book over the space of five days, from October 9-13, 1378. She lost the use of all of her senses, except the gift of speech. The heavenly Father spoke within her heart and she answered Him, asked Him questions, and repeated His words to her at the same time that she was a Leggi tutto
This is probably one of my favorite books so far. There is quite a bit of information to take in so I believe it’s best to really take your time reading it in order to understand and retain everything. Being one who is continuously trying to obtain more information about the Catholic faith, I have h Leggi tutto
Read during my prayer time for five months and it’s five-star quality but some was so dense I couldn’t retain it (this is a nice way of saying I am too dumb to understand some of the saint’s language). It is full of wisdom for a person who wants to live for God. I was enlightened and convicted 100 t Leggi tutto
One of the things I knew about St. Catherine before reading this book was that she was a “mystic,” and that was clearly evident in reading her dialogue with God. This book is not easy for the average religious young person to get through, because it can become terribly abstract at times, but yet the Leggi tutto
