Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Creator and the Creature: Or, the Wonders of Divine Love "The English language and the Irish race are overrunning the world," says Dr. Newman, and that race, "pre-eminently Catholic, is at this very time, of all tribes of the earth, the most fertile in emigrants both to the West and the South." In the midst of the sixty millions who, it is computed, now speak the English language, and are daily extending their influence to every quarter of the world, a large and active portion is this same "pre-eminently Catholic race." With these facts in our mind, we turn to this last work of the Rev. Dr. Faber, with sentiments of gratitude to heaven, and hope for its abundant blessing on the teachings of such a guide, which our most earnest language would but faintly express. If the power to conceive and convey to others the sublime, and at the same time, the most practical truths that can interest the human mind, be a title to the homage of men, then has Father Faber established for himself a claim which no length of years nor change of circumstances can efface. If, together with this power, there is joined the grace of awakening the purest, the holiest emotions of which the human heart is capable, who can withhold the homage due to such a servant of the Church? It may be excess of admiration for genius, learning, wisdom, zeal, piety, all combined in one noble soul; or is it the depth of our gratitude to the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, from whom every good and perfect gift descendeth that sways our judgment when we say that not for several ages past has God given to his Church a teacher, whose thoughts of love and words of light will fall, like heavens dew, on a wider extent of that field in which, with His prophets and apostles around Him, the Son of God Himself labored, and still labors for the salvation of souls? We do not forget that not more widely does star differ from star in glory, than do the minds of men, in their habits of thought, in their capacity of judgment and feeling.
