Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourse on the Life and Virtues of the Rev. Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin, Late Pastor of St. Michael´s Church, Loretto: Delivered on the Occasion of the Removal of His Remains to the New and Splendid Monument Erected to His Memory by a Grateful Flock Before the coming of the Redeemer and the introduction of his divine religion, man had nothing to sustain and solace him in the hour of his direst need. Pagan man looked upon death as the termination of all his hopes; or, at least, so dim and doubtful was his view of a future state, that the grave brought nothing to his mind but gloom and desolation: it is here preeminently that the power of the Christian religion is strikingly visible and effective. It is the Gospel alone that has brought to light life and immortality. It is it, that by assuring us of immortality, of which the greatest sages of heathenism spoke with doubt, furnishes strength and support to the bursting heart. It is it that dries up the mourner´s tears, by unfolding to him a place of future blessedness, where the hopes of the just shall be fulfilled and their toils crowned with the remuneration which is due to righteousness, and not the least part of which is that indicated in the text selected, viz: to live for ever in the remembrance of God, and to be embalmed in the memory of their fellow-men, whom they have so signally benefitted by the example of their blameless and edifying lives, as well as by their labors of eminent usefulness. "The just shall be in everlasting remembrance." It is this consolation which the sweet promise of the text affords and enables me to give you, my beloved friends, who are assembled on this day to discharge a solemn duty to the memory of the illustrious Gallitzin - a name to be for ever dear to you, and to be pronounced only with the deepest feelings of love and reverence by yourselves and your children.
