Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Fruits of the Devotion to the Sacred Heart: A Course of Sermons for the First Fridays of the Year "I am come to cast fire on earth; and what will I but that it be kindled? - Luke xii. 49. 1. I. The heart of man ever craves for light and love. But the finite neither fills nor sates his mind or will. Both are irresistibly drawn to the infinite as their term and object. 2. Thus, men have ever sought for God, even though blindly and unconsciously; and the persistence of religion, however debased, among men as a body bears witness to this. Unaided man may seek, but can he find God ? Alas! he may fear and tremble, but can not rise to perfect love. Is there any living water, then, to soothe hearts "athirst for the living God"? 3. Can we truly know God? asks the world doubtfully to-day. Can the great God love or care for us, as we understand the words? Or is there a man, sinless, unselfish, divine, with a mind and a heart like our own, to teach us the true knowledge and love of God? Is there, in this dark world of ours, a spring of light and love where all may drink and which will never run dry? Brethren, we "whose eyes have seen the King in his beauty" (Isa. xxxiii. 17) fearlessly answer "Yes." Such an one "was seen on earth, and conversed with men," and His "Sacred Heart" is the magic fountain that men crave for.
