Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Sermons on the Christian Virtues, Vol. 2: Adapted to All the Sundays and Most Holydays of the Year Subject. 1. Confident prayer is that which is most pleasing to God, for He wishes us to pray to Him with confidence. 2. It is the most efficacious kind of prayer, to which God can refuse nothing. - Preached on the Sunday within the Octave of the Nativity. Text. Quoe non discedebat de templo, jejuniis et obsecrationibus serviens node ac die. - Luke ii. 37. "Who departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day." Introduction. Simeon, an old priest, comes into the temple; Anna, a widow eighty-four years of age, comes also at the same time. The former was urged to come by the Spirit of God: "And he came by the Spirit into the temple." The latter came accidentally: "Now she at the same hour coming in confessed to the Lord." They were both ignorant of what was to happen to them there, and both had the great joy and glory in their old age, before the end of their lives, to see and know Jesus, the Saviour of the world. Why were they so exceptionally favored? Of Simeon the Gospel says that he "was just, and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel," and of Anna, that she "departed not from the temple, by fastings and prayers serving night and day." Mark this, my dear brethren; both were anxiously looking out for the redemption of Israel, that is, the advent of the promised Messias.
