Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Penitence: A Series of Lectures Delivered at All Saints´, Margaret Street, in Lent, 1866 As sin is the indulgence of self, so the overcoming sin implies the forcible denial of self. The principle of fasting lies as deeply imbedded in the genius of Christianity, as that of prayer; and the various forms of self-affliction which are disclosed in the lives of the Saints, who thus sought to keep under the body and bring it into subjection, are but the expansion and development of this primary law of our Lords own enforcing. The countless pains of the Passion, which He bore, so far beyond the necessary pang of His atoning Death, ever live to sanctify all true acts of self-imposed penance, by which the followers of the Crucified seek to draw nearer to Him. But the examples of those who have gone before us with the truest signs of the spirit of mortification, teach us as strongly the need of lowliness and self-distrust, of carefulness and meek submission to authority, lest through presumption or indiscretion the good which is sought be marred or altogether hindered by the way of seeking it.
