Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New and Old (Sermons), Vol. 2: A Monthly Repertory of Catholic Pulpit Eloquence Embracing Two Sermons for Each Sunday and Holy-Day of Obligation of the Ecclesiastical Year By his glorious Resurrection, my beloved brethren, Jesus Christ was given back to his disciples, whom his death on the Cross had filled with sorrow and anguish. But he remained only for a short time visibly among them, for, forty days after his Resurrection, when his Apostles and disciples were assembled on Mount Olivet, he was elevated in the sight of all, and carried up into heaven. The day of his Ascension was to them a day of twofold and intense emotion; it was a day of joy as well as a day of sadness: a day of joy, since on it, their Lord and Master was glorified in their sight, and his heavenly commission confirmed in an extraordinary manner; but it was also a day of sorrow, because in the course of it they were called to part again so soon with him, who had been the only object of their joy and love, of their confidence and salvation. Christ, however, had foreseen their bitter affliction; he had foretold to them that he must leave them to return to his Father, but he had promised them at the same time, that he would send another Comforter, who would abide with them forever. This promise, my dear brethren, was no less fulfilled in its turn, than were the predictions of his Life, Death, and Resurrection; ten days after his Ascension, and fifty days after his Resurrection, the promised Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, with the fulness of all his graces, came upon the Apostles who were awaiting him in prayer, assembled with the Blessed Mother in the Cenacle. "Suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty wind coming; and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them cloven tongues, as it were of fire, and it sat upon each of them; and they were filled with the Holy Ghost; and they began to speak with diverse tongues, according as the Holy Ghost gave them to speak."
