Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Liturgical Year: An Explanation of the Origin, History Significance of the Festival Days Fasting Days of the English Church In the year 1836, John Henry Newman, the greatest teacher of his age, in the course of a memorable sermon, "The Visible Church an Encouragement to Faith," gave utterance to the following complaint - "Alas! in spite of the variety of books now circulated among all classes of the community, how little is known about the Saints of past times! How is this? has Christ´s Church failed in any age? or have his witnesses betrayed their trust? are they not our bone and our flesh? have they not partaken the same spiritual food as ourselves and the same spiritual drink, used the same prayers, and confessed the same creed? If a man merely looks into the Prayer Book, he will meet there with names about which, perhaps, he knows or cares nothing at all. A prayer we read daily is called the prayer of St. Chrysostom; a creed is called the Creed of St. Athanasius; another creed is called the Nicene Creed; in the Articles we read of St. Augustine and St. Jerome; in the Homilies of many other such besides. What do these names mean? Sad it is, you have no heart to inquire after or celebrate those who are fellow-citizens with you, and your great benefactors!
