Selections from Interior Freedom, by Jacques Philippe


The following series of articles is taken from the book Interior Freedom by Jacques Philippe. This book is available through Scepter Publishers. Written in a simple and inviting style, Interior Freedom seeks to help the reader understand and journey toward the true freedom to which God calls each one of us. The author develops a simple but important theme: we gain possession of our interior freedom in exact proportion to our growth in faith, hope, and love. He explains that the dynamism between these three theological virtues is the heart of the spiritual life, and he underlines the key role of the virtue of hope in our inner growth.

To contemplate and to give to others the fruits of our contemplation: this motto of the Order characterizes our Dominican life. This seven part series, written by our sisters, will address this contemplative-active balance we inhert as followers of St. Dominic and the monastic elements that provide the foundation for our life.

 A man of great personal discipline and of remarkable practical intelligence, Dominic had yet for others the gift of compassion and consolation…The very name of his followers, Praedicatores, bears witness to the teaching mission of the Church. We look, then, to St. Dominic, great light of the Christ and Doctor of Truth, and to the saints of the Order, that we may be of use to the souls of others. (Constitutions of the Congregation)
