Fr. Dominic of the Mother of God was a spiritual son of St. Paul of the Cross (1694-1775), the founder of the Passionists, about whom Newman writes in his novel “Loss and Gain”, “…the thought of England came into his ordinary prayers; and in his last years, after a vision during Mass, as if he had been Augustine or Mellitus, he talked of his ‘sons’ in England.” Dominic Barberi turned his founder’s vision into action when he set off from Rome for Belgium in 1840 with three of his confreres to make preparations for founding a community in England. |

| Blessed Dominic Barberi, C.P. |
In the opening entry of his diary St. Paul of the Cross sounds the characteristic tone of the whole Diary when he writes, "that the most holy will of our dear God is being fulfilled.' The diary entries recording his 40-day retreat at the church of St. Charles in Castellazzo begin on 23 November 1720. This valuable document is a compelling witness to the spiritual discernment and decisions of a human being in existential dialogue with God. The Saint here is laying the foundations for an authentic process of spiritual discernment, the aim of which finally was always to do the will of God. The Spiritual Diary of Paul Francis Danei, considered by Joseph De Guibert "to be one of the classic texts of Catholic mysticism", was the result of an inner spiritual process of which we shall now offer a brief outline. |
