Meditations on the Life, the Teaching, and the Passion of Jesus Christ - For Every Day of the Ecclesiastical Year; With an Appendix of Meditations for the Festivals of Various Saints #222546

Let us hope that in the form in which it is now pre sented to the reader, as in its original shape, this work may, by God's grace, prove useful and profitable to all who desire to lead a virtuous and devout life and follow our Lord; and we hope most confidently that this will be so in the case of all those who take up this book, which breathes the spirit of the Seraphic Father, with the same simple good will wherewith it is tendered to them. He who humbly stoops his head may oftentimes find a jewel in the sand; and the soul of one who truly loves God will be no less incited to extol Him by the sight of the modest daisy of the field than by the splendid rose that blooms in the well-kept gardens of a palace.
