Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Discourses and Sermons: For Every Sunday and the Principal Festivals of the Year The Sermons contained in this volume were, for the most part, preached in the Baltimore Cathedral before large audiences; and the author indulges the hope that they may be favorably received by a wider circle of readers whom his voice could not reach. They have one merit of not being the result of hasty consideration, but have been the fruit of nearly fifty years´ serious meditation in the Sacred Ministry. The author believes that their brevity will also commend them to the reader; for long discourses are usually tedious and fatiguing. They weigh heavily on the mind as a surfeit of food palls upon the appetite, while short Sermons, like a frugal and nutritious meal, are easily digested and assimilated. The subjects embraced in this work have been to the writer an unfailing source of joy and com fort, of strength and fortitude during the last half century. They have been to millions of souls in every age for nearly twenty centuries a fountain of light to those that sat in darkness; they have been an in fallible guide to the Christian pilgrim, a consolation to the afflicted, courage to the faint-hearted, food to the hungry, an inexhaustible refreshment to those that thirst after righteousness; they have been wholesome medicine to the sick, a salutary rebuke to the sinner and the hope of eternal life to the faithful followers of Christ. I earnestly trust that they will also reward the pious reader with those heavenly treasures which only the Gospel message can abundantly bestow.
