New Book about Don Dolindo’s Spiritual Guidance
Finding direction through Don Dolindo Ruotolo's Bible Commentaries
I'm delighted to announce the release of my new book, "Don Dolindo's Spiritual Guidance."
This book offers a glimpse into the profound spirituality and extensive biblical commentary of Servant of God Don Dolindo Ruotolo (1882-1970). Known for his divinely inspired "Surrender Novena" prayer, Don Dolindo left behind a monumental 33-volume commentary, unfolding divine revelation with remarkable warmth and insight. This book shares translated excerpts from his commentary, aiming to provide a window into the spiritual riches behind his exegetical work.
Flowing from Don Dolindo's teachings on abandonment to Divine Providence, these passages highlight his signature spiritual wisdom centered on total trust and reliance on God's will. Infused with prayerful meditation and practical wisdom enriched by mystical experiences, Don Dolindo's reflections are anchored in Church tradition while blending traditional doctrine with contemporary insights.
Topics include Don Dolindo's approach to biblical commentary, perspectives on his holiness from Saint Padre Pio and Blessed Gabriele Maria Allegra, echoes of the Surrender Novena in Genesis, Mary's role as Mother of Divine Providence, viewing immersion in Scripture as a pathway into its artistic beauty and spiritual meaning, and more. By rediscovering Don Dolindo's monumental life work, this book hopes to rekindle devotion to Sacred Scripture and usher readers into deeper relationship with Christ.
