The Glories of the Sacred Heart
Author: Henry Edward Manning
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Sacred Heart, Devotion to
Languages : en
Pages : 356
Book Description
"The Sacred Heart is, as Simeon prophesied of Jesus Himself, 'Signum cui contradicetur.' Like the title of His Blessed Mother, who is in very truth 'Mother of God, ' it has drawn to itself all the assaults of heresy. For it is a divine test of faith in the mystery of the Word made Flesh, 'ut revelentur ex multis cordibus cogitationes.' Those who have trusted with a yearning hope that the faith of Englishmen, in the Incarnation at least, was firm and clear were saddened and silenced when the pilgrimage to Paray-le-Monial elicited from some of the highest sources of the established religion a profession of simple Nestorianism. It was then that the first fifty pages in this book were published. Having been out of print for some time, they are now reprinted, as the doctrinal foundation of all that follows. The devotion of the Sacred Heart has two aspects: the one as the centre of all dogma; the other as the source of the deepest devotion. In this latter aspect it reveals to us the personal love of our Divine Redeemer towards each and every one for whom He died. It is a manifestation of His pity, tenderness, compassion, and mercy to sinners and to penitents. Nevertheless, its chief characteristic and its dominant note is His disappointment at the returns we make to Him for His love, and above all, His divine displeasure at the faults and sins of those who are specially consecrated at His service. He seems to be sadly upbraiding us with the three doubting questions which He put to Peter, 'Lovest thou Me?' and to be looking upon us as He turned and looked on him, when he had thrice denied his Master. Into this part of the devotion of the Sacred Heart I have not ventured. It has already been treated so profusely by others, and by many of whom I have only to learn; it is in itself so deep and intimately related to the personal life and mind of each, that I have always felt it better to use but few suggestive words rather than to draw out devotional acts, which to the writer are no doubt spontaneous, natural, and real, but to the reader may be a burden like Saul's armour to David. In the following pages, therefore, I have intentionally confined myself to the dogmatic side of the devotion; and for the following reasons. I believe firmly that when divine truth is fully and duly apprehended it generates devotion; that one cause of shallowness in the spiritual life is a superficial apprehension of the dogma of the Incarnation; and that one divine purpose in the institution and diffusion of the devotion of the Sacred Heart, in these last times, is to reawaken in the minds of men the consciousness of their personal relation to a Divine Master. He has foretold the dimness and coldness of these latter days: 'The Son of Man, when He cometh, shall He find, think you, faith on the earth? (S. Luke xviii. 8.)' 'Because iniquity hath abounded, the charity of many shall grow cold (S. Matt. xxiv. 12).' In that day the disciples of the Sacred Heart at least will 'know whom they have believed.'"--

Pages : 214
Book Description
The lake held special memories of her times with Jeff. Here they had spent hours talking, feeding the swans, and skipping pebbles across the smooth surface, creating circles within circles. One afternoon in particular Faith remembered. Jeff had kissed her. It was their first real kiss. In it were all Faith's dreams, her longings, her hopes, her loyalty and love. "Don't ever stop believing in me," Jeff begged. "I promise, I never will," she had whispered. Did Jeff remember that day? For Faith, that day, that kiss, that promise were a treasured memory, cherished as a special bond between them of mutual trust and love. Could he have forgotten? It was to be a very special summer, the summer of Queen Victoria's Jubilee, the sixtieth year of the English monarch's reign. It was the summer Faith Devlin had looked forward to with great anticipation--the pressures of her debutante year were over, Jeff Montrose was back in London, and her American cousins were coming for a family reunion at the beautiful country estate of Birchfields. It was the summer of unexpected encounters and romantic enterprises -- but it was not to be the summer of Faith Devlin's dreams. . .

Daily I remember the words spoken to me in the secret place upon which you have caused me to both hope and excel. Your gentleness and patience have established my comfort, enlarging my capacity to both taste and see that the Lord is good. There are times when I feel like flying away with you, even though the time is not yet right nor my season fulfilled. Just being with you runs so deep. The closer I walk, the deeper it gets. Yes, even deeper still as I conform to Christ in me, the hope of glory.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 521
Book Description
There has never been a more vulnerable time for priests in the Catholic Church. Although the Catholic religion continues to play an important role in peoples lives around the world, the role of the priest has become publically scrutinized and questioned. In The Potter and His Earthen Vessels, author Dan Corcoran provides an objective, unadulterated perspective on the history of the role of the priest in the Catholic Church. Beginning with a historical look at the role of church leaders in the early Christian church, Corcoran expands on the characteristics that modern-day priests need to embody in order to effectively lead and minister to their churchesand honor God. The Potter and His Earthen Vessels also explores the inherent humanity of these men of God, all of whom are imperfectbut in whom God has entrusted his Word, endowing them with special gifts and talents. Priests from all time are Gods earthen vessels, and these servants of God can help make a difference in the lives of believers. Even though the priesthood is changing and has experienced difficulties in the past, a fresh and personal perspective on the lives of men who form the priesthood can offer us a way to understand the necessity of the priesthood for Gods kingdom and our eternal salvation.
