Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from New and Old (Sermons), Vol. 7: A Monthly Repertory of Catholic Pulpit Eloquence Embracing Two Sermons for Each Sunday and Holy-Day of Obligation of the Ecclesiastical Year "He that believeth in the Son of God is not judged; but he that doth not believe is already judged." (John 3:18.) At the beginning, and again at the end, of the Ecclesiastical year, the Catholic Church ordains the reading of the Gospel on the Last and General Judgment. Her intention thereby is, no doubt, to remind us of this serious truth: that our aim at the beginning, and the end of all our thoughts, words, actions, and endeavors should be to prepare for the Last Day, and the coming of Jesus to judgment, by true penance and amendment of life, by self-denial and mortification. To this, we are also exhorted by St. Paul in the Epistle of this day, wherein he says to us: "Now is the hour for us to rise from sleep... Let us cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light." Finally, we are also invited and urged by the Church to repentance, and consequently to a worthy preparation for the coming of Jesus for our redemption on Christ-mas-day (as well as for his coming to judgment at the Last Day), by the fast-days prescribed during Advent, and by the penitential color of the purple vestments, in which the priest celebrates the holy Mass. Let us not be deaf to these earnest and impressive admonitions and invitations of our holy mother, the Church. Let us prepare ourselves for the solemnity of Christmas, for the coming of our Infant Redeemer, by penance and mortification, that his coming, at last, to judgment, may not be for us an occasion of terror. O, how solemn is this earnest truth that we must all die and appear before the judgment-seat of God; and that, if we judge ourselves now in life, we shall not be judged by Christ after death! It is indeed a very consoling truth, that faithful Christians shall not be judged at the bar of Christ; while, on the other hand, it is a very awful truth that the wicked, also, shall not be judged at the Last Day, because they are already judged.
