Description
how to live the life of a Third Order Dominican
Fr. Angelico, O.P., recommended this to me.
cf. the 1923 Dominican Third Order Rule therein to the Modernist, eviscerated, post-Vatican II one! "After Vatican II, the need was felt for a new Rule or an updating [eviscerating!] of the 1923 Rule"! The post-Vatican II Dominican Third Order is now called "The Lay Fraternity of St. Dominic" (not "Brothers and Sisters of Penance of St Dominic"), and it doesn't mention fasting or avoiding worldliness.
I like how Fr. Joret calls Divine Providence a higher prudence (p. 256, PDF p. 273).
pp. 300-1 (PDF pp. 317-8): "The great theologian [Cdl.] Cajetan, who became Master General of our Order, went so far as to assert that a Friar Preacher who did not study for four hours a day could scarcely be held to escape the guilt of mortal sin."!
Interestingly, quantum physicist Paul Dirac said, as reported by his daughter Monica, that "no one can work hard on a serious intellectual problem for more than 4 hours a day."
