Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Holy Mass: The Sacrifice of Jesus Christ, the Ceremonies of the Mass;; Preparation and Thanksgiving, the Mass and the Office That Are Hurriedly Said We add, that this is a fitting conclusion of the volume; for the first part of it is, as it were, the peroration or natural conclusion, and the second may serve as a preface or as a transition to the following volume, which has as its object the Divine Office. II. Zeal of St. Alphonsus in Regard to the Celebration of Mass. These different writings give evidence of the zeal that animated our venerated author in regard to the divine Sacrifice on our altars. From his childhood he was admired for the tender devotion with which he attended Mass, received Communion, or spent his time in adoring the Blessed Sacrament. This virtue only grew and became more perfect as he advanced in age. Even in the midst of the world, notwithstanding the occupations and the cares of the profession which he at first embraced, he went every day to visit his dear Lord exposed in one of the churches of Naples, and there on his knees and immovable, he spent long hours before the altar, contemplating the object of his affection with so humble and so recollected an attitude, that he appeared to be out of himself; all persons that saw him were profoundly edified. Such piety was to receive its reward; for thus we read in his writings: "I feel myself bound, at least out of gratitude to my Jesus in the Holy Sacrament, to declare that by means of this devotion of visiting the Most Blessed Sacrament, which I practised, though with so much tepidity and in so imperfect a manner, I abandoned the world, in which, unfortunately, I lived until six-and-twenty years of age." Such were his dispositions in the world; but one cannot imagine with what respect, with what care, with what dignity and with what fervor he celebrated the holy mysteries when he had the happiness of ascending the altar as a priest of the Most High, to consecrate and to hold in his hands the body and the blood of his well-beloved Jesus, and to be nourished every day with this heavenly food.
