Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Pulpit Orator, Vol. 3: Containing Seven Elaborate Skeleton Sermons, Or, Homiletic, Dogmatical, Liturgical, Symbolical, and Moral Sketches, for Every Sunday of the Year; Also Elaborate Skeleton Sermons for the Chief Festivals and Other Occassions; From Low Sunday to the Fourth S The lesson for this day begins with the words: Whatsoever is born of God, overcometh the world; and this is the victory which overcometh the world, our faith. All who are regenerated in the holy Sacrament of Baptism, hence all Christians of every age, condition, or sex, have the grace through faith to overcome the enemies of their salvation; that is, the world, the flesh, and the devil But this faith, which endows us with power to overcome the world and everything that entices us to sin, is the belief in Jesus Christ the Son of God and Redeemer, or in general, the Christian Faith as the Holy Catholic Church teaches it. Therefore St. John writes: Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that be lieveth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God? The question is, how far does faith strengthen us to overcome the world? The answer is, in so far as faith offers us the means of grace, which we need for the overcoming of all temptations and for constancy in the service of God. I will mention only a few of them: i. The word of God. What an effectual means the word of God is for the overcoming of all obstacles to our salvation, for virtue and true holiness of life, St. Paul tells us in the epistle to the Hebrews (4: 12): "The word of God is living and effectual, and more piercing than any two-edged sword, and reaching unto the division of the soul and the spirit, of the joints also, and the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart." History convinces us of the power of the word of God. What has rooted up the abominations of Paganism among the nations of the earth and established the Christian religion among them? Was is not the word of God which the Apostles and their successors preached without ceasing? When John Capristan came to Germany in the year 1451, and preached there, whole cities went out to meet him, and his hearers frequently numbered more than a hundred thousand. All were bathed in tears, nothing was heard but sighing and moaning, and the most hardened sinners were converted. By one sermon this saint brought twelve thousand people back to the true faith. The Hussites in Bohemia used to say that they feared that monk more than a strong army. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
