Excerpt from The Interior of Jesus and Mary, Vol. 2 of 2 Were the greatest monarch on earth, to render a similar service to the last of his subjects, we should say he had compromised his majesty as a sovereign, or his reputation for judgment as a man; and humanly speaking, the conclusion would be correct, for humiliations like this are inconsistent with the dignity of royalty, and neither natural affection, nor any motive Of the kind can render them admissible. But such a case would merely involve the humiliation Of a mortal, whereas in the present instance, it is a God who stoops beneath his own creatures, and who considers the degradation in no wise dero gatary to his infinite majesty. It was indeed his humanity which humbled itself so low, yet, the divine nature being united to that humanity, the humiliation reverted to the Man God, who eagerly desired and voluntarily embraced its abjection.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Interior of Jesus and Mary, Vol. 1 of 2 This little book, which we beg you to read, has gone through more than twenty editions in French, and has been translated into every European language. Of the English version there have been several impressions and it has had a wide circulation, but has been out of print for some years. In offering you a new edition both the editor and the publishers have endeavored to make it more worthy of your acceptance. A new Sketch of the Author and his Works has been added, as well as an appendix of readings for different seasons; many faults have been corrected and its appearance has been much improved. The book treats of a subject, however, which should attract your attention more than all else, and this is nothing less than the life of Our Lord and his Blessed Mother.

Excerpt from The Interior of Jesus and Mary, Vol. 2 of 2 All glory was unquestionably due to the sacred humanity which the word had mercifully assumed; in fact, the dignity imparted to it by the hypostatical union, was in itself so sublime, that any attainable degree of external honour, must have dwindled into nothing by comparison. To human view, it appears, that consistently with the demands of strict justice, Jesus Christ should have exalted his humanity in the eyes of mortals, - the more so, as it was incapable of appropriating that glory, which would have reverted in its fulness to his divinity. But widely different are the views of God, from those of men! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Madonna Mary, Vol. 2 of 2 No wonder then that her old friends saw little or no change in her, and that her new ones admired her as much as she had ever been admired in her best days. Some women are sweet by means of being helpless, and fragile, and tender; and some have a loftier charm by reason of their veiled strength and composure, and calm of self-possession. Mary was one of the last; she was a woman not to lean, but to be leant upon; soft with a touch like velvet, and yet as steady as a rock a kind of beauty which wears long, and does not spoil even by growing old.

Book Description
Excerpt from Ave Maria, Vol. 1: A Catholic Journal, Devoted to the Honor of the Blessed Virgin A weekly Periodical derated to the Blessed Virgin, successfully established in this cold calculating age of Mammonism, and in these United States of America, in which more, perhaps then any where else, the interests of this world are held as paramount and those of eternity art kept in the hock-ground; this is truly one of the wonders of this wonderful nineteenth century! And it is as hopeful a sign of the times as it is wonderful. The Ave Maria offers no worldly inducements to its patrons; it promises no profitable returns for the investment, like the gold mining, the Petroleum, and a hundred other speculations of the day; it deals not in the marvelous, and promises no startling developments, like the Spirit-rappings, Table-movings, and modern magical adventures: it merely appeals to a filial sentiment, invites Christians to come k to first principles and first lore, to make a spiritual pilgrimage to the first model Christian household, and therein to worship Jesus as Man-God and our Brother, to venerate Joseph as ills chosen guardian and foster-father, and to salute and love Mary as His and our sweet Mother: yet it succeeds, and is able, from the very beginning, to reckon its subscribers by thousands! Who will sny, after this, that the spirit of faith and of Christian chivalry is wholly extinct, or that the time has passed, when men will be moved by a sentiment, and will make sacrifices for on ideal No, thank God! This age is not wholly given up to Mammonisin; it is not so entirely uutattie m many would suppose; it has yet a feeling heart beating in its besom, in responso to the living realities of another world revealed by laith. The three great concupiscences have not full and undivided sway over men, ami the devil is not wholly "the princo of this world, " a* ho was proclaimed to he by the great Apostle of the Gentiles; happily, there is still some faith, some kindliness, some gentleness some filial emotion left us, to relieve the cold barrenness of our Paganism! There is yet some light uinidst the darkucas, there are some (lowers blooming nmid the desert! To discover how very reasonable i* this feeling of love and devotion to Mar)-, we have, in fact, only to return to first principle*, os we leave atready intimated. To he*r Christians of the modem type tulk, one would he tempted to suppose thut we lixvc little or nothing to do with the Mother of the Savlour-God; that slie is, if not an intruder into the Christian family and fold, at lxst a dangerous rival of her Son; and that the lea wo think and sprak of her tho Iras we liave to do with her, the more ncccptable will we become to God and the more enlightened and better Christians I This is the gist of that modern philosophy of Christianity, which claim* for itself a greater share of enlightenment and progress than that which fall* to the lot of old-fashioned and more simple minded Christiana, and which, beginning with disparaging the Mother in order to protect the honor of tho Son, has generally ended in denying the Son liimwlfl The cold and sneering progressive, Evangelical Protestantism, which almost shudders at (lie very mention of Mary, is generally found in the end tottering over the brink of Universal i*m ond Unitarianism. This is particularly the case with the Calvinistic or Puritan Sects. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
