Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Apple of Eden "Before thou makest a vow - prepare thyself; and be not as a man that tempteth the Lord." - Ecclesiasticus xviii. 23. "But I say to the unmarried and to the widows; it is good for them if they continue, even as I. But if they do not contain themselves, let them marry. For it is better to marry than to be burnt." - I Cor. vii.8, 9(translated from the Latin Vulgate). "Yet in face of this gloomy, uninviting fact, vocations fail not, crowds still seek the perilous office. This as actual fact is worth investigating. Why do they seek it so eagerly and in such numbers? Priests were never more numerous. ´Seminaries´ abound and are filled. Oh, various are the motives, etc., etc., as is easy to analyze, taking human nature and conditions of toilsome life into account. Half of the candidates never realize to the full extent what they are facing." - "Discourses" by an Irish priest in America.
