Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Clerical Life and Work: A Collection of Sermons With an Essay It is a matter for just complaint with candidates for holy orders, that many books which profess to treat of pastoral work address themselves almost exclusively to the external duties of the Christian Priest. They enter at length upon a consideration of such points as the composition of sermons, visiting the sick, schools, ritual; and they continually insist upon the necessity of bringing the inward life to bear upon the discharge of such outward and visible ministries. The existence of an inward life is indeed assumed, but no attempt is made to determine its specific character, or the laws of its formation. Thus a recent writer on the duties of a parish priest remarks by way of appendix to one of the most practical and valued of his lectures, that, - "After all is said and done the parish priest never can be thoroughly effective in the sick-room, till his own heart shall be in a condition to furnish him readily with the language he should employ in it. He cannot work conviction in another of the heinousness of sin in itself, or of his participation in it, till he has arrived at that conviction himself, and in his own particular instance. He cannot impart to him an adequate sense of the unspeakable comfort contained in the doctrines of the Cross, till in his own very self he has tasted what that comfort is. And if, when sitting by the sick man´s side, he finds his ideas stagnant, and his feelings unmoved, - no power to address him, and no knowledge what to say - he was reason to suspect that he has work to do nearer home, before he can be of much use there, that he must first be converted himself and then strengthen his brother.
