Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Golgotha: A Study of the Sweet, Sad Story of the Cross A desire to contribute, in an humble way, towards the realization of the policy of our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XV, which, as he tells us, is to cause, "the charity of Christ to prevail among men," has prompted the publication of these little reflections on the Passion of our Divine Savior. The world has tried human love-motives and the human love-motives have failed. It has tried human brotherhoods and they have fallen with a fearful crash. It has placed exaggerated confidence in the natural goodness of man, and the natural goodness of man has proved to be but a new name for a very old and a terribly dangerous thing called selfishness. Human motives are pitiably insufficient to meet the demands of the world. Man needs a motive that is not of the world, if he is in earnest quest of a love that is not worldly. "A new commandment I give unto you," said Christ on the eve of His death, "that you love one another, as I have loved you." This is the very marrow of Christianity, this it is that makes Christianity lovable and fruitful of good; but a passive admiration of its sublimity will not do.
