Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Blessed Oliver Plunket My Dear Father Callery, I have read the proof of your Memoir of Blessed Oliver Plunkett. It comes at a most opportune moment, just when the Sovereign Pontiff has set the seal of the Church´s approval on the life and death of the holy Martyr. The beatification of Oliver Plunkett will bring joy to Irish Catholics in every part of the world. He is the first Irishman whom the supreme authority of the Church has numbered among the Blessed since St. Laurence O´Toole, the illustrious Archbishop of Dublin was raised to the altars. Amid their rejoicing Catholics, especially Irish Catholics, would naturally wish to become more intimately acquainted with the leading facts of the Martyr´s life and the circumstances of his glorious death. Most of them might lack either time or opportunity to read the more extensive Life written by the learned Cardinal Moran. For these you have provided a brief, clear, interesting, well-written narrative. Nothing is omitted which could instruct or edify; nothing which could impress the reader with a deep sense of the sanctity of the Martyr´s life; nothing which would go to show his spirit of labour and self-sacrifice, his zeal for the interests of his flock, his sympathy with the poor and suffering, his attachment to the Church, that love of God and of the holy faith which he sealed by his blood. It is questionable whether a more detailed biography could present a more vivid and striking picture of the Martyr´s virtuous life and heroic death than you have furnished in your brief, interesting, readable sketch.
