Part II, Ch 4: The Third Point of Preparation, representing the Mystery to be meditated to Your Imagination
"Following upon these two ordinary points, there ere is a third, which is not necessary to all meditation, called by some the local representation, and by others the interior picture. It is simply kindling a vivid picture of the mystery to be meditated within your imagination, even as though you were actually beholding it."

"I will therefore give you a short and easy method for using it, until such time as you may read sundry books written on the subject, and above all till practice teaches you how to use it more perfectly. And first of all, the Preparation, which consists of two points: first, placing yourself in the Presence of God; and second, asking His Aid. And in order to place your

self in the Presence of God, I will suggest four chief considerations which you can use at first."

Part II, Ch 1: The Necessity of Prayer
"Prayer opens the understanding to the brightness of Divine Light, and the will to the warmth of Heavenly Love—nothing can so effectually purify the mind from its many ignorances, or the will from its perverse affections. It is as a healing water which causes the roots of our good desires to send forth fresh shoots, which washes away the soul’s imperfections, and allays the thirst of passion."

"He sent them into his vineyard." (Matt. xx. 2)
Sermon for Septuagesima Suday: On the Importance of Salvation
"The vines of the Lord are our souls, which he has given us to cultivate by good works, that we may be one day admitted into eternal glory. "How," says Salvian, "does it happen that a Christian believes, and still does not fear the future?" Christians believe death, judgment, hell, and Paradise: but they live as if they believed them not as if these truths of faith were tables or the inventions of human genius. Many live as it they were never to die, or as if they had not to give God an account of their life as if there were neither hell nor a heaven. Perhaps they do not believe in them? They believe, but do not reflect on them; and thus they are lost. They take all possible care of worldly affairs, but attend not to the salvation of their souls."

"Many are called, but few chosen." (St. Matthew 20: 16.)
Sermon for Septuagesima Sunday: "Last Sentence of the Judge on the Criminal"
"Fearful words: The smaller number shall be called to the kingdom of heaven, and the greater number condemned to hell! If we blind mortals only thought of that while there is still time, that we might be inspired with a salutary fear, and so live that we may be found among the few elect! We have hitherto considered the state of the guilty sinner before the judgment-seat, and how he shall be summoned to judgment, questioned therein, accused, and convicted. There is still another and that a most terrible point to be considered, namely, how he shall be condemned by the sentence pronounced on him. "Then shall He say to them also that shall be on His left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire!" Ah, those words are enough to dry up the marrow of one’s bones! Depart from me, you cursed! Where to? Into everlasting fire! I shall speak to you to-day on the words of the first part of this sentence: "Depart from me, you cursed."

Part I, Ch 22: The Necessity of Purging away all tendency to Venial Sins
"But I tell you that you must purify your soul from all inclination to venial sin;—that is to say, you must not voluntarily retain any deliberate intention of permitting yourself to commit any venial sin whatever. It would be most unworthy consciously to admit anything so displeasing to God, as the will to offend Him in anywise. Venial sin, however small, is displeasing to God, although it be not so displeasing as the greater sins which involve eternal condemnation; and if venial sin is displeasing to Him, any clinging which we tolerate to mortal sin is nothing less than a resolution to offend His Divine Majesty."

Part I, Ch 21: Conclusion of this First Purification
"But forasmuch as these affections are easily rekindled, thanks to our infirmity and concupiscence (which maybe mortified, but which can never be altogether extinguished while we live), I will give you certain counsels by the practice of which you may henceforth avoid mortal sin, and the affections pertaining thereto. And as these counsels will also help you to attain a yet more perfect purification, before giving them, I would say somewhat concerning that absolute perfection to which I seek to lead you."

Part I, Ch 20: A hearty Protest made with the object of confirming the Soul’s resolution to serve God, as a conclusion to its acts of Penitence
"I, now coming to myself prostrate in heart and soul before the Throne of His Justice, acknowledge and confess that I am duly accused and convicted of treason against His Majesty, and guilty of the Death and Passion of Jesus Christ, by reason of the sins I have committed, for which He died, bearing the reproach of the Cross; so that I deserve nothing else save eternal damnation.
But turning to the Throne of Infinite Mercy of this Eternal God, detesting the sins of my past life with all my heart and all my strength, I humbly desire and ask grace, pardon, and mercy, with entire absolution from my sin, in virtue of the Death and Passion of that same Lord and Redeemer, on Whom I lean as the only ground of my hope."

Part I, Ch 19: How to make a General Confession
"Such meditations as these, my daughter, will help you, and having made them, go on bravely in the spirit of humility to make your general confession;—but I entreat you, be not troubled by any sort of fearfulness. The scorpion who stings us is venomous, but when his oil has been distilled, it is the best remedy for his bite;—even so sin is shameful when we commit it, but when reduced to repentance and confession, it becomes salutary and honourable."

Part I, Ch 18: Tenth Meditation: How the Soul chooses the Devout Life
"On the other hand, behold Jesus Christ Crucified, calling these unhappy wretches to come to Him, and interceding for them with all the Love of His Precious Heart. Behold the company of devout souls and their guardian Angels, contemplate the beauty of this religious Kingdom. What lovelier than the troop of virgin souls, men and women, pure as lilies:—widows in their holy desolation and humility; husbands and wives living in all tender love and mutual cherishing. See how such pious souls know how to combine their exterior and interior duties;—to love the earthly spouse without diminishing their devotion to the Heavenly Bridegroom. Look around—one and all you will see them with loving, holy, gentle countenances listening to the Voice of their Lord, all seeking to enthrone Him more and more within their hearts.
They rejoice, but it is with a peaceful, loving, sober joy; they love, but their love is altogether holy and pure. Such among these devout ones as have sorrows to bear, are not disheartened thereby, and do not grieve overmuch, for their Saviour’s Eye is upon them to comfort them, and they all seek Him only."

"And when he entered into the boat, his disciples followed him ; and, behold, a great tempest arose in the sea." (Matt. viii. 23-24)
Sermon for the Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany: Dangers to Eternal Salvation
"The first means of salvation, then, is to recommend ourselves continually to God, that he may keep his hands over us, and preserve us from offending him. The next is, to cleanse the soul from all past sins by making a general confession. A general confession is a powerful help to a change of life. When the tempest is violent the burden of the vessel is diminished, and each person on board throws his goods into the sea in order to save his life. folly of sinners, who, in the midst of such great dangers of eternal perdition, instead of diminishing the burden of the vessel that is, instead of unburdening the soul of her sins load her with a greater weight. Instead of flying from the dangers of sin, they fearlessly continue to put themselves voluntarily into dangerous occasions; and, instead of having recourse to God’s mercy for the pardon of their offences, they offend Him still more, and compel Him to abandon, them."

"Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye." (St. John 2: 5)
Sermon for the Fourth Sunday after Epiphany: "The Examination of the Sinner in Judgment"
"In the judgment we shall be questioned about all we have thought during our lives. "The books were opened, and the dead were judged by those things which were written in the books, according to their works" (Apoc. 22: 12). All the secrets of men’s hearts and consciences shall then be displayed in a most vivid light. "Give an account of thy stewardship" (Luke 16: 2), shall be said to each one. Come here, oh, man! give an account of all that has occurred in your household during the time of your life. Account for the thoughts that were in your mind! Thought is free, we generally say; no worldly jurisdiction has any control over it, not even the Church herself, unless one reveals his thoughts to her. God has reserved this right to himself alone: "The Lord is the weigher of spirits" (Prov. 26: 2). What filth shall then come forth from the hearts of many who now show no mark of it on their foreheads!"

Part I, Ch 17: Ninth Meditation: On the Choice upon to you between Heaven and Hell
"Imagine yourself alone with your good angel in an open plain, as was Tobit on his way to Rages. Suppose the Angel to set before you Paradise, full of delights and joys; and on the other hand Hell, with all its torments. Contemplate both, kneeling in imagination before your guardian Angel. Consider that you are most truly standing between Hell and Paradise, and that both the one and the other are open to receive you, according to your own choice."

O blessed company, any one single member of which surpasses all the glory of this world, what will it be to behold them all, to sing with them the sweet Song of the Lamb? They rejoice with a perpetual joy, they share a bliss unspeakable, and unchangeable delights."

Part I, Ch 15: Seventh Meditation: On Hell
"onsider how insupportable the pains of Hell will be by reason of their eternal duration. If the irritating bite of an insect, or the restlessness of fever, makes an ordinary night seem so long and tedious, how terrible will the endless night of eternity be, where nought will be found save despair, blasphemy and fury!"

Part I, Ch 13: Fifth Meditation: On Death
"Consider the uncertainty as to the day of your death. One day your soul will quit this body—will it be in summer or winter? in town or country? by day or by night? will it be suddenly or with warning? will it be owing to sickness or an accident? will you have time to make your last confession or not? will your confessor or spiritual father be at hand or will he not? Alas, of all these things we know absolutely nothing: all that we do know is that die we shall, and for the most part sooner than we expect."

"But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. viii. 12.)
Sermon for the Third Sunday After the Epiphany: On The Remorse Of The Damned
"In the Gospel of this day it is related that, “when Jesus Christ entered into Capharnaum, there came to him a centurion beseeching him” to cure his servant, who lay sick of the palsy. Jesus answered: “I will come and heal him.” “No,” replied the centurion, “I am not worthy that thou shouldst enter under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed.” (v. 8.) Seeing the centurion’s faith, the Redeemer instantly consoled him by restoring health to his servant; and, turning to his disciples, he said: “Many shall come from the east and the west, and shall sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into the exterior darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” By these words our Lord wished to signify, that many persons born in infidelity shall be saved, and enjoy the society of the saints, and that many who are born in the bosom of the Church shall be cast into Hell, where the worm of conscience, by its gnawing, shall make them weep bitterly for all eternity. Let us examine the remorses of conscience which, a damned Christian shall suffer in Hell."

Sermon for the Third Sunday after Epiphany: "The Summoning of the Dead to Judgment"
""They will come from the east and the west, but what a vast difference there shall be between them! Some shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while others shall be cast into the exterior darkness. When shall this coming, this crisis take place? On the last day, when Jesus Christ shall summon all mankind from the four quarters of the globe before his tribunal, to judge every one according to his works.""

Part I, Ch 10: Second Meditation: Of the End for which we were Created
"Turn to God. Thou, my God and Saviour shalt henceforth be the sole object of my thoughts; no more will I give my mind to ideas which are displeasing to Thee. All the days of my life I will dwell upon the greatness of Thy Goodness, so lovingly poured out upon me. Thou shalt be henceforth the delight of my heart, the resting-place of all my affections. From this time forth I will forsake and abhor the vain pleasures and amusements, the empty pursuits which have absorbed my time;—the unprofitable ties which have bound my heart I will loosen henceforth, and to that end I will use such and such remedies."

"He humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. For which cause God also hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a name which is above all names." (Phil. ii 8-9)
"... there is a Name which is above all other names, a Name which we must always pronounce with the greatest reverence, with the most blissful happiness and the tenderest love; and that is the Name of Jesus. And why do we all cherish in our hearts so profound a respect, such love and devotion for this Most Holy Name? First: On account of its glory and excellence, and then (second) because of its wonderful power and abundance of grace.
Let us make this the subject of our meditation in the Name of Jesus: "Who humbled Himself, becoming obedient unto death, even the death of the Cross. Wherefore God also hath exalted Him, and hath given Him a name which is above every name.""

"Whatsoever he shall say to you, do ye." (St. John 2: 5)
Sermon for the Second Sunday after Epiphany: "Those Who Hear the Word of God without Fruit"
"Many hear the Word of God in sermons, but without fruit or profit; because the seed falls by the wayside.
There are three causes which prevent the seed that falls by the wayside from bearing fruit.
-
The first is, because the wayside is an open public place, where the seed can easily he blown away by the wind;
-
The second, because the seed, not being covered with earth, cannot take root;
-
The third, because it is liable to be trodden under foot by the passers-by, or to be eaten by the birds."

Part I, Ch 8: How to effect this Second Purification
"The first inducement to attain this second purification is a keen and lively apprehension of the great evils resulting from sin, by means of which we acquire a deep, hearty contrition. For just as contrition, (so far as it is real,) however slight, when joined to the virtue of the Sacraments, purges away sin; so, when it becomes strong and urgent, it purges away all the affections which cling around habits of sin."

Part I, Ch 7: The Second Purification, from all Sinful Affections
"Be sure, my daughter, that if you seek to lead a devout life, you must not merely forsake sin; but you must further cleanse your heart from all affections pertaining to sin; for, to say nothing of the danger of a relapse, these wretched affections will perpetually enfeeble your mind, and clog it, so that you will be unable to be diligent, ready and frequent in good works, wherein nevertheless lies the very essence of all true devotion."

Part I, Ch 5: The First Step must be Purifying the Soul.
"The flowers appear on the earth," says the Heavenly Bridegroom, and the time for pruning and cutting is come. And what, my child, are our hearts’ flowers save our good desires? Now, so soon as these begin to appear, we need the pruning-hook to cut off all dead and superfluous works from our conscience. When the daughter of a strange land was about to espouse an Israelite, the law commanded her to put off the garment of her captivity, to pare her nails, and to shave her head; 16 even so the soul which aims at the dignity of becoming the spouse of Christ, must put off the old man, and put on the new man, forsaking sin: moreover, it must pare and shave away every impediment which can hinder the Love of God. The very first step towards spiritual health is to be purged from our sinful humours."

This is the precept of precepts, says the devout Avila,—seek as you will you can never so surely discover God’s Will as through the channel of humble obedience so universally taught and practised by all the Saints of olden time."

"Behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing." (Lk. ii. 48.)
Sermon for the First Sunday after Epiphany: "Malice of Mortal Sin".
"Most holy Mary lost her Son for three days: during that time she wept continually for having lost sight of Jesus, and did not cease to seek after him till she found him. How then does it happen that so many sinners not only lose sight of Jesus, but even lose his divine grace; and instead of weeping for so great a loss, sleep in peace, and make no effort to recover so great a blessing? This arises from their not feeling what it is to lose God by sin. Some say: I commit this sin, not to lose God, but to enjoy this pleasure, to possess the property of another, or to take revenge of an enemy. They who speak such language show that they do not understand the malice of mortal sin. What is mortal sin?
0:00 - Introduction
1:15 - First Point. It is a great contempt shown to God.
11:24 - Second Point. It is a great offence offered to God."

"They found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, hearing them and asking them questions." (St. Luke 2:46)
Sermon for the First Sunday after Epiphany: "The Mission of the Word of God for Procrastinating Sinners"
"As our Lord Jesus Christ, when he wished to show his unheard of love to men, could not wait for the time of his bitter Passion and death, to shed his Saving Blood for them, but already as an Infant, eight days old, poured out the first drops of that precious Blood in the Circumcision, so, he would not wait for the time of his public mission to instruct and convert men, but commenced his office of Preacher in the twelfth year of his age, when he was found amongst the doctors in the temple, explaining the law to them by question and answer. Ah! If we had only the happiness of once hearing, as they did, the word of life from his own sacred lips, what an effect would it not have on our hearts! But what am I saying? Although it is now nearly two thousand years since he appeared in the world in visible form, he still preaches his divine word and explains his law by the mouths of priests. Alas! I should rather exclaim, would that all Christians were diligent enough in hearing his word. Then, indeed, would Christ reap a golden harvest.
0:00 - Introduction
2:07 - I. In the sanctification of the just.
12:57 - II. In the conversion of sinners.

Part I, Ch 2: The Nature and Excellence of Devotion.
"Believe me, dear child, devotion is the sweetest of sweets, the queen of virtues, the perfection of love. If love is the milk of life, devotion is the cream thereof; if it is a fruitful plant, devotion is the blossom; if it is a precious stone, devotion is its brightness; if it is a precious balm, devotion is its perfume, even that sweet odour which delights men and causes the angels to rejoice."

Part 1, Chapter 33: Matter of Expiation - Tepidity - St. Bernard and the Religious of Citeaux - Venerable Mother Agnes and Sister de Haut Villars - Father Surin and the Religious of Loudun
"Good Christians, Priests, and Religious, who wish to serve God with their whole hearts, must avoid the rock of tepidity and negligence. God will be served with fervour; those who are tepid and careless excite His disgust; He even goes so far as to threaten with His malediction those who perform holy actions in a careless manner — that is to say, He will severely punish in Purgatory all negligence in His service."
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."

Part I, Ch 1: What True Devotion is
"You aim at a devout life, dear child, because as a Christian you know that such devotion is most acceptable to God’s Divine Majesty. But seeing that the small errors people are wont to commit in the beginning of any under taking are apt to wax greater as they advance, and to become irreparable at last, it is most important that you should thoroughly understand wherein lies the grace of true devotion;—and that because while there undoubtedly is such a true devotion, there are also many spurious and idle semblances thereof; and unless you know which is real, you may mistake, and waste your energy in pursuing an empty, profitless shadow."

Part 1, Chapter 32: Matter of Expiation - The Life of Pleasure - The Pursuit of Comfort - Venerable Frances of Pampeluna and the Man of the World - St. Elizabeth and the Queen, her Mother
"In our days there are Christians who are total strangers to the Cross and the mortification of Jesus Christ. Their effeminate and sensual life is but one chain of pleasures; they fear everything that is a sacrifice; scarcely do they observe the strict laws of fasting and abstinence prescribed by the Church. Since they will not submit to any penance in this world, let them reflect on what will be inflicted upon them in the next. It is certain that in this worldly life they do nothing but accumulate debts. Since they omit to do penance, no part of the debt is paid, and a total is reached that affrights the imagination."

Part 4, Chapter 4: On the Number of the Saved
"Let me ask thee, O reader, what proportion thinkest thou of all who live upon this earth will be saved? Half? or a third part? or perhaps a quarter? Alas, I fear, and not without good reason, that the number will not be nearly so large. Jesus Christ, Who is eternal Truth, His holy Apostles, and the Fathers of the Church, all tell us that so it will be.
What does Christ say about the number of the elect? His words are these: "Many are called, but few are chosen." He repeats these words when He speaks of the guest who had not on a wedding garment: "Bind his hands and his feet, and cast him into the exterior darkness. For many are called, but few chosen.""

"Behold, this Child is set for the fall and for the resurrection of many in Israel." (Luke ii. 34).
Sermon for the Sunday within the Octave of the Nativity: "In What True Wisdom Consists"
0:00 - Introduction
1:36 - First Point. Sinners are truly foolish
12:11 - Second Point. The saints are truly wise.
"But, notwithstanding the greatness of his own misery, the unhappy sinner, reflecting only on the enjoyment of present goods, calls the saints fools, because they seek to live in poverty, in humiliation, and self-denial. But a day will come when sinners shall see their errors, and shall say. “We fools esteemed their life madness, and their end without honour.” (Wis. v. 4.) We fools; behold how they shall confess that they themselves have been truly fools.

"When the fullness of the time was come." (Gal. 4: 4)
Sermon for the Sunday after Christmas: "On the Happy End of our Years"
"These words have been used and will be used of all men as long as the world lasts. Thus with the child the fullness of time may come in two or three years; that is the end of its years. The fullness of time for the youth or maiden may be in ten or twenty years, for the man or woman in thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty years; then comes the end of their years.
The same words shall one day be used of us too; but we cannot say how many years must elapse till then. Happy shall we be if the end of our years is a happy one. And that is what I wish myself, you, and every one from my heart at the end of this year. Namely, I do not wish in the common mode of expression, a happy end of the present year and beginning of the next, but I wish for you and myself"
0:00 - Introduction
1:50 - A happy end of our years; the object of this wish is a happy death.
3:16 - At the end we must leave all things.
6:04 - The just man will leave all things with joy at his happy death.
9:23 - That it can and should be realized by every one, and how that is to be done. Exortation to the married people, parents, fathers and mothers to work for a happy death.
12:06 - Exortation to young men and women.
13:33 - Exortation to widows and orphans, desolate, sorrowful, and afflicted Christians
14:45 - Exortation to the sinners.

Part 4, Chapter 3: On the Joys of Heaven (Continued).
" regard to the spiritual joys of the redeemed in Heaven, they are in such great abundance, that in speaking of them one does not know where to begin or where to end. Think of the spiritual consolations granted to eminent servants of God in this world. We know concerning some Saints that their life on earth was more that of Angels than of men, so frequently were they favoured with ecstasies, visions, interior lights, and Divine consolations of all kinds. And yet all these favours were but as a drop out of the boundless ocean of celestial sweetness."

Part 4, Chapter 2: On the Joys of Heaven.
"Now that we have meditated upon the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of God, we will proceed to consider the happiness which the Saints who dwell therein enjoy, both in regard to body and soul. It is true as yet they have not their bodies, as a general rule, but at the Last Day they will all have them again, and those bodies will then be so beauteous, that nothing in the world can compare with them. And this will principally be because every member will be endowed with four qualities or attributes, namely: beauty, impassibility, agility, and subtlety. By reason of its beauty or glory the body of each one of the elect will shine like a star, yet, as one star differs from another in glory, so the Saints will shine with greater or less splendour, according as their lives upon earth have been more or less holy."

"We have said that the total amount of the debt of suffering for Purgatory comes from all the faults not atoned for upon earth, but especially from mortal sins remitted to their guilt. Now men who pass their whole lives in a habitual state of mortal sin, and who delay their conversion until death, supposing that God grants them that rare grace, will have to undergo the most frightful punishment."

Part 4, Chapter 1: On the Nature of Heaven
"We must not, as some do, picture to ourselves Heaven as a purely spiritual realm. For Heaven is a definite place, where not only God is, and the Angels now are, but where Christ is also in His sacred humanity, and Our Lady with her human body. There, too, all the blessed will dwell with their glorified bodies after the Last Judgment. If Heaven is a definite locality, it must accordingly be a visible, not a spiritual kingdom ; for a place must in its nature be to some extent conformable to those who abide in it."

Part 1, Chapter 12: The Cause of Suffering - Matter of the Expiation of Purgatory - Doctrine of Suarez - St. Catherine of Genoa
"Why must souls thus suffer before being admitted to see the face of God? What is the matter, what is the subject of these expiations? What has the fire of Purgatory to purify, to consume in them? It is, say the doctors, the stains left by their sins.
But what is here understood by stains? According to most theologians, it is not the guilt of sin, but the pain or the debt of pain proceeding from sin. To understand this well, we must remember that sin produces a double effect on the soul, which we call the debt (reatus) of guilt and the debt of pain; it renders the soul not only guilty, but deserving of pain or chastisement. Now, after the guilt is pardoned, it generally happens that the pain remains to be undergone, either entirely or in part, and this must be endured either in the present life or in the life to come."
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."

Part 1, Chapter 26: Duration of Purgatory - Venerable Catherine Paluzzi and Sister Bernardine - Brothers Finetti and Rudolfini - St. Peter Claver and the two Poor Women
"We shall see therein that Divine Justice is relatively severe towards souls called to perfection, and who have received much grace. Does not Jesus Christ say in the Gospel, Unto whom much is given, of him much shall be required: and to whom they have committed much, of him they will demand the more?"

Part 3, Chapter 8: On Eternity
"The torments of Hell are all so horrible, so appalling, that they are enough to make the bravest man tremble. But the thought of eternity is so awful that the serious consideration of it is almost enough to deprive one of one s senses. For in this world, however afflicted a man may be, he has one sure source of solace, the knowledge that, sooner or later, his misery will end."

Part 1, Chapter 25: Duration of Purgatory - The Abbey of Latrobe - A Hundred Years of Suffering for Delay in the Reception of the Last Sacraments
"A too frequent cause of the long continuance of Purgatory is that many deprive themselves of a great means established by Jesus Christ for shortening it, by delaying, when dangerously sick, to receive the last Sacraments. These Sacraments, destined to prepare souls for their last journey, to purify them from the remains of sin, and to spare them the pains of the other life, require, in order to produce their effects, that the sick person receive them with the requisite dispositions. Now, the longer they are deferred, and the faculties of the sick person allowed to become weak, the more defective do those dispositions become. What do I say? Very often it happens, in consequence of this imprudent delay, that the sick person dies deprived of this absolutely necessary help. The result is, that if the deceased is not damned, he is plunged into the deepest abysses of Purgatory, loaded with all the weight of his debts."

"And his name shall be called Emmanuel." (Is. vii. 14.)
" The Saviour is born for us, a Saviour who will deliver us from sin, and from the thraldom of Satan, who reconciles us to God and opens heaven unto us. What this Saviour is His name tells us, that the prophet Isaias announced: "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and His name shall be called Emmanuel, God with us." Yes, God with us, that is the meaning of the joyful message of the angel: God with us in His humanity, in His childhood, in His poverty. This is what we will contemplate, dearly beloved; His name shall be called Emmanuel, God with us."

Part 3, Chapter 7: The Worm that Dieth Not
"Our Divine Saviour says: "If thy hand scandalize thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter into life, maimed, than, having two hands, to go into Hell, into the fire that cannot be quenched, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. And if thy foot scandalize thee, cut it off; it is better for thee to enter lame into life, than, having two feet, to be cast into the Hell of unquenchable fire, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished. And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out; it is better for thee with one eye to enter the kingdom of God, than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Hell of fire, where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not extinguished" (Mark ix. 42-47)."

Part 3, Chapter 6: On the Loss of the Beatific Vision of God
"And then such an eager desire will take possession of our soul to gaze upon and enjoy this supreme Good, that she will be irresistibly drawn to God, and will long with all her powers to contemplate His ineffable beauty. And if on account of her sins she is deprived of this beatific vision, it will cause her the most intense anguish. No grief, no torture known in this world can be in any wise likened to it.
St. Bonaventure bears witness to this, when he says: "The most terrible penalty of the damned is being shut out forever from the blissful and joyous contemplation of the Blessed Trinity." Again, St. John Chrysostom says: "I know many persons only fear Hell because of its pains, but I assert that the loss of the celestial glory is a source of more bitter pain than all the torments of Hell.""

In order that these shameless sinners may see how wrong they are to speak thus, and how little cause they have to anticipate any relief from the company in which they will find themselves, this chapter shall be devoted to showing them how woeful that company will be, and how it will aggravate their misery."

We know in general that they are measured by Divine Justice, and that for each one they are proportioned to the number and gravity of the faults which he has not yet expiated. God may, however, without prejudice to His Justice, abridge these sufferings by augmenting their intensity; the Church Militant also may obtain their remission by the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and other suffrages offered for the departed."

"Christ speaks to us of the darkness of Hell in these solemn words: "Bind his hands and feet and cast him into the exterior darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. xxii. 13). Our Lord speaks of the darkness of Hell as exterior darkness, the most appalling, the most fearful that can be. A traveller who has lost his way in a forest and is benighted, feels a nameless terror coming over him.
Now there is a land which is covered with the shadow of death, where no order, but an eternal horror reigns. That land is Hell. An oppressive gloom weighs upon the lost; an indescribably terrible darkness prevails."

Part 3, Chapter 3: On the Vile Odors of Hell
"In order that nothing may be wanting to the plagues of Hell, wherewith the lost souls are tormented, God has in His anger decreed that this horrible prison should be pervaded by an abominable stench, as a punishment for those who, when on earth, have taken excessive delight in the use of choice perfumes.
The prophecy of Isaias will thus be fulfilled: "Instead of a sweet smell there shall be a stench" (Is. iii. 24). Decaying animal matter emits so horrible an odour that no one likes to go near it. But if we imagine not one tainted carcass, but hundreds of thousands heaped together, the air for miles round would be so infected that it would cause the death of all in the vicinity."

"Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of penance." (St. Luke iii. 8.)
"This, my brethren, was the sermon which the holy Precursor of the Redeemer preached to all those who sought him in the wilderness, to learn what they should do to attain eternal life. Bring forth, said he, real fruits of penance, that your sins may be forgiven you, that is to say, whoever has sinned, has no other remedy but penance, even for those who obtained forgiveness in the sacrament of penance, there is still a punishment due, which must be atoned for, either in this world, by suffering, and all the other tribulations of this life, or in the flames of purgatory. This, my brethren, is the difference between the Sacrament of Baptism, and that of Penance; in the Sacrament of Baptism, God forgives us without requiring anything from us; on the other hand in the Sacrament of Penance, God remits our sins, and gives us grace on the condition that we undergo a temporary punishment either in this life, or in the flames of purgatory; so that man shall be punished for his contempt and abuse of grace. When God wills that we should do penance, so that our sins may be forgiven us, He demands it only to preserve us from relapsing into sin, so that by remembering what we have had to endure for our sins which we have confessed, we shall not dare to return to them again."

"And all flesh shall see the salvation of God." (Luke iii. 6.)
Sermon for the Fourth Sunday of Advent: On the Love of Jesus Christ.
"The Saviour of the world, whom, according to the prediction of the prophet Isaias, men were one day to see on this Earth "and all flesh shall see the salvation of God," has already come. We have not only seen him conversing among men, but we have also seen him suffering and dying for the love of us. Let us, then, this morning consider the love which we owe to Jesus Christ at least through gratitude for the love which he bears to us. In the first point we shall consider the greatness of the love which Jesus Christ has shown to us; and in the second we shall see the greatness of our obligations to love him."
0:00 - Introduction
0:59 - First Point. On the great love which Jesus Christ has shown to us
8:57 - Second Point. On the greatness of our obligations to love Jesus Christ
12:32 - Conclusion

Part 3, Chapter 2: On the Hunger and Thirst Suffered in Hell
"Just as the crimes whereby the sinner in this life provokes the anger of God are of various kinds, so the pains of Hell whereby those crimes will be punished also vary in their nature. We know that men often sin through intemperance, greedily indulging themselves in food and drink. Consequently God has appointed a severe penalty for this sin in the next world. Christ foretells it, indeed, in the words: "Woe to you that are filled, for you shall hunger" (Luke vi. 25)"

Part 1, Chapter 20: Diversity of the Pains - King Sancho and Queen Guda - St. Lidwina and the Soul Transpierced - Blessed Margaret Mary and the Bed of Fire.
"According to the saints, there is great diversity in the corporal pains of Purgatory. Although fire is the principal instrument of torture, there is also the torment of cold, the torture of the members, and the torture applied to the different senses of the human body. This diversity of suffering seems to correspond to the nature of the sins, each one of which demands its own punishment, according to these words: Quia per quce peccat quis, per hac et torquetur — " By what things a man sinneth, by the same also is he tormented." [Wis. xi. 17.] It is just that it should be so with regard to the chastisement, since the same diversity exists in the distribution of the reward. In Heaven each one receives according to his works, and, as Venerable Bede says, each one receives his crown, his robe of glory. For the martyr this robe is of a rich purple colour, whilst that of the confessor has the brilliancy of a dazzling whiteness."

Part 3, Chapter 1: On the Fire of Hell
"Although in the present day many are found to deny the existence of Hell, or, at any rate, the eternity of punishment, we do not consider it incumbent upon us to bring forward a number of proofs that there is such a place as Hell. In the case of the Christian reader, for whom this book is intended, evidence of this nature is quite superfluous, because he will not have made shipwreck of his faith. Indeed, what further proofs can be required for the existence of Hell and the eternity of punishment, seeing that the prophets, that Christ Himself, that the apostles, and the Fathers of the Church, nay, the very Turks and heathens, speak of it as an unquestioned fact. Those who deny the existence of Hell must consequently be counted amongst the fools who say in their heart that there is no God who punishes their misdeeds."

Part 1, Chapter 19: Pains of Purgatory - St. Magdalen of Pazzi and Sister Benedicta - St. Gertrude - Blessed Margaret Mary and Mother de Montoux
"One repeated unceasingly these words: Love triumphs, love rejoices in God; the other, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, and the Religious who live and die in the exact observance of their rules. Both desired that I should say to you on their part that death may separate souls, but can never disunite them. If you knew how my soul was transported with joy! For whilst I was speaking to them, I saw them sink by degrees into glory like a person who plunges into the vast ocean. They ask of you in thanksgiving to the Holy Trinity one Laudate and three times Gloria Patri. As I desired them to remember us, their last words were that ingratitude is unknown in Heaven?"

St. John, in his Apocalypse, gives a beautiful description of how the blessed will rejoice and magnify the justice of God."

Part 1, Chapter 18: Pains of Purgatory - St. Perpetua - St. Gertrude - St. Catherine of Genoa - Brother John de Via
"As we have already said, the pain of sense has different degrees of intensity. It is less terrible for those souls that have no grievous sins to atone for, or who, having already completed the most rigorous part of their expiation, approach the moment of their deliverance. Many of those souls suffer then no more than the pain of loss, and even begin to perceive the first rays of heavenly glory, and to have a foretaste of beatitude."

Part 1, Chapter 17: Pains of Purgatory - Blessed Quinziani - The Emperor Maurice
"The natural conclusion which follows from these terrible manifestations of Divine Justice is that we must hasten to make satisfaction for our sins in this life. Surely a criminal condemned to be burned alive would not refuse a lighter pain, if the choice were left to him. Suppose it should be said to him, You can deliver yourself from that terrible punishment on condition that for three days you fast on bread and water; should he refuse it? He who should prefer the torture of fire to that of a light penance, would he not be regarded as one who had lost his reason? Now, to prefer the fire of Purgatory to Christian penance is an infinitely greater folly."

Yes, understand this, O unhappy sinners, and see to it that a like doom does not overtake you. Think how you would feel, were you amongst the number of these reprobates. Consider what you would then wish that you had done, and what you would give as the price of your ransom, were it possible for you to be liberated.
Well, then, do now what you would then wish to have done. Confess and bewail your grievous sins whilst there is yet time, and pray God to preserve you from never-ending tormen"

"How long will the duration of the Last Judgment be? No definite answer can be given to this question, for it is a matter which no one knows; yet it may be conjectured that it will occupy a considerable period. Some indeed say that it will be over quickly, because God could judge all mankind in a single instant. Yet this opinion does not seem to be held by the Fathers of the Church, nor is it supported by Holy Scripture, in which we find a day of judgment invariably spoken of."

This road is the observance of the divine commands. Hence, in his preaching, the Baptist exclaimed: "Make straight the way of the Lord." In order to be able to walk always in the way of the Lord, without turning to the right or to the left, it is necessary to adopt the proper means."

Part 1, Chapter 14: Pains of Purgatory - Apparition of Foligno - The Dominican Religious of Zamorra
"Thus we see Divine Justice punishes most severely the slightest faults. It may here be asked why the apparition, when making the mysterious mark on the door, called it a proof of the mercy of God. It is because, in giving us a warning of this kind, God shows us a great mercy. He urges us, in the most efficacious manner, to assist the poor suffering souls, and to be vigilant in our own regard"
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord; and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."

Part 2, Chapter 9: On the Manner in which the Final Judgment will be Commenced
"Some such words as these will proceed out of the mouth of the Judge, and they will be pronounced with such majesty that all men will quake and tremble. All miserable sinners will begin to weep and wail afresh, so that the very earth might be moved with compassion. "Alas for us poor wretches," they will exclaim with one voice, "how can we stand before the face of our Judge! Mountains, fall on us, and rocks, cover us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth upon the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of their wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?""

Part 2, Chapter 8: On the Reason why Christ's Appearance on the Day of Final Judgment will be Terrible and on the Heinousness of Mortal Sin
"The reader may, perchance, be inclined to ask the reason why Christ, the same Christ who lived amongst us on earth in all gentleness and meekness, should wear so terrible an aspect when He comes to be our Judge? There are a great many reasons why Christ in this capacity should judge mankind with such awful severity. The principal one is because He has been most grievously outraged by the sins of men."

Part 1, Chapter 12: Pains of Purgatory, Bellarmine and St. Christine the Admirable.
"Thus, argues Bellarmine, "God willed to silence those libertines who make open profession of believing in nothing, and who have the audacity to ask in scorn, 'Who has returned from the other world? Who has ever seen the torments of Hell or Purgatory?' Behold two witnesses. They assure us that they have seen them, and that they are dreadful. What follows, then, if not that the incredulous are inexcusable, and that those who believe and nevertheless neglect to do penance are still more to be condemned?"

Part 2, Chapter 7: On the Manner in which Christ will take His Place on the Judgment-seat
"When Christ, in His chariot of fire, has reached Mount Olivet, He will pause in the air, at such a height that He can be clearly seen by all men, until the Angels have prepared the throne of judgment.
The prophet Daniel thus portrays the scene: "I beheld till thrones were placed, and the Ancient of days sat; His garment was white as snow and the hair of His head like clean wool; His throne like flames of fire, the wheels of it like a burning fire. A swift stream of fire issued forth from before Him; thousands of thousands ministered to Him, and ten times a hundred thousand stood before Him: the judgment sat and the books were opened" (Dan. vii. 9, 10)."

Chapter 16: The sixteenth precept, on the Sacrament of Extreme Unction
"There now remains the last sacrament to speak of, Extreme Unction; from this may be derived most useful lessons, not only for our last hour, but for the whole course of our life For in this Sacrament are anointed all those parts of the body in which the five senses reside, and in the anointing of each of them it is said: "May our Lord forgive thee whatever thou mayest have committed by thy sight, hearing, &c" Hence we see, that these senses are as it were five gates, through which all kinds of sin can enter into the soul. If then we care fully guard these gates, we shall easily avoid a multitude of sins, and therefore shall be enabled to live well and die well."

Part 1, Chapter 11: The Pain of Sense - Torment of Fire and Torment of Cold - Venerable Bede and Drithelm.
"If the pain of loss makes but a feeble impression upon us, it is far different with the pain of sense: the torment of fire, the torture of a sharp and intense cold, affrights our sensibility. This is why Divine Mercy, wishing to excite a holy fear in our souls, speaks but little of the pain of loss, but we are continually shown the fire, the cold, and other torments, which constitute the pain of sense. This is what we see in the Gospel, and in particular revelations, by which God is pleased to manifest to His servants from time to time the mysteries of the other life."

And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Chapter 15: The Fifteenth precept, on Matrimony
"The sacrament of Matrimony comes next : it has a two-fold institution ; one, as it is a civil contract by the natural law; another, as it is a sacrament by the law of the Gospel. Of both institutions we shall briefly speak, not absolutely, but only as regards teaching us how to live well, that so we may die well. Its first institution was made by God in paradise ; for these words of God, "It is not good for man to be alone," cannot properly be understood, unless they have relation to some means of propagating the human race."

And again: "They shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with much power and majesty" (xxiv. 30)."

"Now when John had heard of the wonderful works of Christ," (Matt. ix. 2.)
Sermon 2, Second Sunday Of Advent: On The Advantages of Tribulations
"In tribulations God enriches his beloved souls with the greatest graces. Behold, St. John in his chains comes to the knowledge of the works of Jesus Christ: "When John had heard in prison the works of Christ." Great indeed are the advantages of tribulations. The Lord sends them to us, not because he wishes our misfortune, but because he desires our welfare. Hence, when they come upon us we must embrace them with thanksgiving, and must not only resign ourselves to the divine will, but must also rejoice that God treats us as he treated his Son Jesus Christ, whose life, upon this earth was always full of tribulation."
0:00 - Introduction.
1:08 - First Point. On the great advantages we derive from tribulations.
13:24 - Second Point. On the manner in which we should bear tribulations.

"Then they shall see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty" (Luke 21: 27.)
Terrible shall be the coming of the incarnate Son of God on that Day of Judgment! Signs shall be seen in the sun, moon, and stars; the swollen sea shall fill all hearts with dread by its roaring and rushing waves; men shall wither away with fear! But all that should not frighten us. These things are mere forerunners of the general fear that is to follow. "Then they shall see the Son of man coming with great power and majesty;" that is the sole cause of the dismay that must fill our minds. With reason does the Church sing: How men shall shudder at the coming of the Judge! And who is that Judge? He will be an exceedingly terrible Judge, especially to those who have a bad conscience.
0:00 - Introduction.
2:42 - Christ our future Judge, is an Almighty God.
3:24 - He will show to the world His justice, hitherto unknown.
5:47 - He shall one day appear as a lion.
7:38 - He is an all-knowing God, from whom nothing can remaing hidden.
10:06 - We must lead pious lives.
Second Part
11:10 - In this life God shows His mercy, but hereafter they shall experience only His Justice
12:43 - The divine honor requieres that.
14:12 - An also His mercy.
15:19 - Like David we have reason to fear this Judge.
16:25 - And holy Job.
18:06 - Conclusion.

Part 1, Chapter 10: Pains of Purgatory, The Pain of Loss, St. Catherine of Genoa - St. Teresa - Father Nieremberg.
"After having heard the theologians and doctors of the Church, let us listen to doctors of another kind; they are saints who speak of the sufferings of the other life, and who relate what God has made known to them by supernatural communication. St. Catherine of Genoa in her treatise on Purgatory says, "The souls endure a torment so extreme that no tongue can describe it, nor could the understanding conceive the least notion of it, if God did not make it known by a particular grace." "No tongue," she adds, "can express, no mind form any idea of what Purgatory is. As to the suffering, it is equal to that of Hell."
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Part 2, Chapter 5: On the Appearance of Christ's Cross in the Heavens
"When all mankind are assembled in the valley of Josaphat, the prediction of Our Lord will be fulfilled: "Men withering away for fear, and expectation of what shall come upon the whole earth." For they will be in such anxiety and terror in anticipation of the approaching judgment that, if such a thing were possible, they would faint away. They will look up to the heavens continually with fear and trembling, and every moment that the coming of the dreaded Judge is delayed will serve to increase their apprehension of this advent. At length the heavens will be opened, and the sign of Christ's triumphant victory, the sign of the Holy Cross, will be carried down by a host of angels and exhibited to the whole world."

Chapter 13: On the Sacrament of Penance
"The sacrament ot Penance comes next, which consists of three conditions relating to him that receives this sacrament contrition of heart, confession, and satisfaction. They who properly comply with these three things, without doubt obtain the pardon of their sins. But we must attentively consider what is meant by true contrition, sincere confession, and full satisiaction."

Part 1, Chapter 9: The Pains of Purgatory, their Nature, their Rigour - Doctrine of Theologians - Bellarmine - St. Francis of Sales - Fear and Confidence.
There is in Purgatory, as in Hell, a double pain — the pain of loss and the pain of sense. The pain of loss consists in being deprived for a time of the sight of God, who is the Supreme Good, the beatific end for which our souls are made, as our eyes are for the light. It is a moral thirst which torments the soul. The pain of sense, or sensible suffering, is the same as that which we experience in our flesh. Its nature is not defined by faith, but it is the common opinion of the Doctors that it consists in fire and other species of suffering. The fire of Purgatory, say the Fathers, is that of Hell, of which the rich glutton speaks, “Quia crucior in hac flamma,” “I suffer,” he says, “cruelly in these flames.”
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Prayer: Chapter 12.8: The Passion of Jesus
"According to St. Francis de Sales, Mount Calvary is the true school of sacred love. There faithful souls come to draw from the wounds of the Lion of Juda the honey of charity. And, in fact, what is more capable of inspiring us with the love of the Man-God? When I am told that He is infinitely perfect and infinitely lovable in Himself, I believe it, but my belief does not so speak to my heart, as does the sight of Jesus crucified, a sight which is a tangible proof of the Saviour’s excessive love for me, and of my obligation to love Him in return. How wonderful it is, indeed, that, almighty and in finite as He is, He has so abased Himself as to become man, and assume the appearance of a sinner, and to take upon Himself our sins and the punishment they deserve! And then should I, after all this, fail to love Him!"

Part 2, Chapter 3: On the Manner in which the Good and the Wicked will be Conducted to the Place of Judgment
"We will now consider in what manner we shall be assembled for the final judgment. If the good and the evil are found together in the graveyards and elsewhere, that will come to pass which Our Lord predicted: "So shall it be at the end of the world: the Angels shall go out, and shall separate the wicked from among the just" (Matt. xiii. 49). For since the good are laid to rest amongst the wicked, it follows that at the resurrection they will be found amongst the wicked. Accordingly, after the General Resurrection the holy Angels will come and separate the elect from the reprobate. St. Paul, speaking of this, says: "For the Lord Himself shall come down from Heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archAngel and with the trumpet of God; and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first. Then we who are alive who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ into the air" (i Thess. iv. 15, 16). All the good, that is to say, will be carried on the cloud with splendour and great glory by the Angels to the place of judgment."

Prayer: Chapter 12.7: The Foot of the Cross
"When we place ourselves in spirit on Calvary near the Cross, what do we see thereon? The Son of God dying for the love of us and, not withstanding His anguish and excessive pains, continuing to pray for us. This is truly a touching sight, a sight fully capable of captivating our minds and hearts and of inducing us to pray with attention and fervor. Do not, indeed, the torments, privations and insults undergone by our Saviour excite our compassion, gratitude and repentance, all of which are so favorable to true devotion?"

Prayer: Chapter 12.6: The Fruits of the Redemption
"Our Divine Saviour in His Passion opened to us an abundant source of satisfaction, which enables us to appease God s infinite justice. “To make satisfaction for an offense,” says St. Thomas, “is to restore to the offended person as much or more honor than was taken away from him, and excite in him as much or more love than the offense pro voked hatred or repulsion in him.” But it was utterly impossible for any creature, however exalted, to pay the debt of sin and perform the office of reconciliation with God. Because there was question of making reparation to God for the glory of which sin robbed Him by transgressing His commandments, rejecting His benefits, outraging His goodness and shamefully despising His wisdom, power and justice. And who but a God-Man could have accomplished this?"

Chapter 12: On the Holy Eucharist
"The holy Eucharist is the greatest of all the Sacraments: in which not only is grace most plentifully given unto us, but even the author of grace Himself is received. Two things are necessary as regards this sacrament, that a Christian may live well and die well. First, that he sometimes receive this sacred nourishment, as our Lord saith: "Unless you eat of the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink his blood, you -shall not have life in you"; Secondly, that he worthily receive this excellent food, for, as the Apostle saith in his Epistle to the Corinthians: "He that eateth and drinketh un worthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord." (1 Epist. xi. 29.) But the question is, how often we ought to receive this food; and again, what preparation is sufficient, that we may worthily, or at least not un worthily, approach to this heavenly banquet."

"And then they shall see the Son of man coming in a cloud with great power and majesty." (St. Luke xxi. 27.)
"On earth the sinner will always have some excuse for the sins committed by him; he even brings his pride into the tribunal of penance, where he ought to appear only to accuse and humble himself. Some plead ignorance, others strong temptations; others again special opportunities and bad examples; every day you can hear the reasons which the sinners proffer to hide the hideousness of their crimes. Come now, ye proud sinners, and let us see how your excuses will be received on the judgment day; explain yourselves before Him who holds the torch in His hand and has seen, counted and weighed in the balance everything concerning you."

"All Catholic Christians believe that in his second advent Jesus Christ shall come as the Judge of the living and the dead, but no man knows the day of his coming.

There shall be terrible signs in the heavens and in all the elements."

Part 2, Chapter 2: On the Resurrection of the Dead
"The first event that will follow upon the end of the world is the general resurrection of the dead. All men, whoever they may be, and whenever and wherever they have lived, not excepting infants whose existence has been but one brief moment, will rise again. With the solemn blast of a trumpet God will cause all men to be summoned to the Last Judgment. Concerning this Christ says: "He shall send His angels with a trumpet and a great voice; and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from the farthest parts of the heavens to the utmost bounds of them" (Matt. xxiv. 31). And St. Paul says: "We shall indeed all rise again, but we shall not all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall rise again incorruptible: and we shall be changed" (i Cor. xv. 51, 52)"
All the saints trembled in anticipation of the sentence that would be passed on them by God, for they well knew how exceedingly severe His judgments are. The Royal Psalmist says: "Enter not into judgment with Thy servant, O Lord, for in Thy sight no man living shall be justified" (Ps. cxlii. 2).""

How grateful we should be to Jesus for having acquired it for us!"

Part 1, Chapter 7: Location of Purgatory - St. Lidwina of Schiedam
"Let us narrate a third vision relating to the interior of Purgatory, that of St. Lidwina of Schiedam, who died April ir, 1433, and whose history, written by a contemporary priest, has the most perfect authenticity. This admirable virgin, a true prodigy of Christian patience, was a prey to all the pains of the most cruel maladies for the period of thirty-eight years. Her sufferings rendering sleep impossible to her, she passed long nights in prayer, and then, frequently rapt in spirit, she was conducted by her angel-guardian into the mysterious regions of Purgatory. There she saw dwellings, prisons, divers dungeons, one more dismal than the other; she met, too, souls that she knew, and she was shown their various punishments."
➡️ Take a moment to pray for the souls in Purgatory. Say thrice daily the versicle below:
"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord.
And let the perpetual light shine upon them.
And may the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."

Prayer: Chapter 12.4: Jesus Praying in the Garden of Olives
"Having retired apart, Jesus "fell upon His face praying" (Mat. 26. 39), thereby giving us the ex ample of the profound humility that ought to accompany all our prayers. What are we in comparison to our Creator? We are as grains of sand and imperceptible atoms that came out of nothing; we are even more vile still, for we are sinners deserving of endless punishment. How then should we implore the Almighty's favor? Jesus humbles Himself under the weight of our iniquities, although He is infinitely great in Himself. What, then, should be our confusion, we who are mere abject creatures, when, laden with our own sins, we crave mercy from the divine Majesty outraged by our malice!"

Prayer: Chapter 12.3: Jesus Suffering
"O Jesus, Jesus suffering and dying for my soul, how can I ever forget Thee ? Thou hast preserved me from hell and permitted me to aspire to heaven ; Thou art my secure refuge against my enemies. Thy wounds are balsam to my sores, and Thy blood, a restoring and comforting beverage. Grant me the grace often devoutly to make the Way of the Cross, to recite the sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary, and to draw therefrom the most lively sen timents of repentance for my sins, of confidence in Thy merits and of resignation in all the trials of life."

Part 2, Chapter 1: On the Signs that shall Precede the Last Judgment
“Jesus Christ the Judge of the living and the dead, who at His first coming appeared upon the earth in all stillness and tranquillity, under a gentle and attractive form, will come again the second time to judgment with great majesty and glory. In order that His advent may not find us unprepared, He will send beforehand many and terrible signs to warn us to abandon our sinful life. Of these signs He Himself says: “There shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, men withering away for fear and expectation of what shall come upon the whole world. For there shall be then great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, neither shall be. And unless those days had been shortened, no flesh should be saved.”; What an awful announcement!” !
All the saints trembled in anticipation of the sentence that would be passed on them by God, for they well knew how exceedingly severe His judgments are. The Royal Psalmist says: "Enter not into judgment with Thy servant, O Lord, for in Thy sight no man living shall be justified" (Ps. cxlii. 2).""

Prayer: Chapter 12.2: The Gift of God
"Oh, if you only knew the gift of God," says our divine Saviour to us as He did to the Samaritan woman. "If, O redeemed soul, thou knewest how much beauty, grandeur and nobility there is in the gift I bring thee from My Father, in the gift that restores the life lost by sin, and is called sanctifying grace! This gift effaces original sin in thee, and likewise the shameful stains of thy iniquities, were they even as numerous as the grains of sand on the sea-shore, and as horrible as the crimes of the great est criminals! It restores to thee the original beauty of the human soul before the fall. It sanctifies thee as it did Adam, makes thee as pleasing as he was to the heavenly court and to the thrice Holy God. It makes thee an adopted child of the heavenly Father, as I am His Son by nature."

Chapter 10: The Tenth Precept, which is on the Sacrament of Baptism
"Having now explained the principal virtues which teach us how "to live well" I shall add some remarks on the Sacraments, which, no less than the former, instruct us in this most necessary Art. There are seven Sacraments instituted by Christ our Lord: Baptism, Confirmation, Holy Eucharist, Penance, Holy orders, Matrimony, and Extreme unction. (...) Let us begin with the first Sacrament. Baptism, being the first, is justly called the "gate" of the Sacraments, because, unless baptism precede them, no one is in a state to receive the other Sacraments."

Prayer: Chapter 12: The Presence of God
"There is not a moment in which God does not think of us and confer benefits on us. As He Himself declares, He loves and guards our soul as the apple of His eye (Deut. 32. 10). Without ceasing He imparts to us existence and life, preserves our reason and our faith, and surrounds us with means of salvation. Desiring to be always with us, He establishes His abode within us, and always cares for us with fatherly solicitude. How can we ever for get God who so greatly loves us? We ought to think of Him every time we draw breath. "I set the Lord always in my sight.""

Part 1, Chapter 6: Location of Purgatory - St. Frances of Rome - St. Magdalen de Pazzi
"It has pleased God to show in spirit the gloomy abodes of Purgatory to some privileged souls, who were to reveal the sorrowful mysteries thereof for the edification of the faithful. Of this number was the illustrious St. Frances, foundress of the Oblates, who died in Rome in 1440. God favored her with great lights concerning the state of souls in the other life. She saw Hell and its horrible torments; she saw also the interior of Purgatory, and the mysterious order—I had almost said hierarchy of expiations— which reigns in this portion of the Church of Jesus Christ."

Prayer: Chapter 11.6: What St. Alphonsus Teaches on Mental Prayer
"St. Alphonsus, declared Doctor of the Church on account of his many learned works, in which the Church found nothing deserving of blame, wrote among others the best, the most practical book on Prayer, and it was his ardent desire to supply, had it been in his power, every man on earth with a copy, on account of the absolute necessity of the prayer of petition for the graces of salvation. Let us now consider the principal points of his teaching on mental prayer. "Prayer," he says, "is absolutely necessary for our salvation, and mental prayer is necessary to pray well. Without mental prayer we can have no supernatural light concern ing God, the eternal truths, the mysteries of faith, the virtues and vices, the vanity of earthly goods, honors and pleasures, and the grandeur and excel lence of the spiritual and heavenly goods."

Part 1, Chapter 5: On the Judgement
"Above and beyond all that we have hitherto considered as contributing to make death terrible to us, is the thought that we must stand before the judgment seat of God, and give an account of all we have done and left undone. How awful this judgment is, we learn from these words of St. Paul: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (Heb. x. 31). For if it is very alarming even to fall into the hands of an angry man, how much more terrible will it be to fall into the hands of an omnipotent God!
All the saints trembled in anticipation of the sentence that would be passed on them by God, for they well knew how exceedingly severe His judgments are. The Royal Psalmist says: "Enter not into judgment with Thy servant, O Lord, for in Thy sight no man living shall be justified" (Ps. cxlii. 2).""

Prayer: Chapter 11.2: Mental Prayer
"Mental prayer is prayer made with or in our mind, not according to formulas, but prompted by what we have previously reflected or meditated on and found to be adapted to our spiritual wants. A general experience proves that many vocal prayers do not bring much, if any, profit to our souls, and this for several reasons. To pray well, and therefore profitably and efficaciously, we must pray not only with attention, humility, confidence, earnestness and perseverance, but we must pray also for those things that are necessary or useful to our salvation. But, as St. Alphonsus declares, comparatively few persons among those who have recourse to prayer, actually know the special needs of their soul, because the majority, for want of due practical reflection, do not know the real wants of their soul, nor the manner in which they should pray for them. To possess this necessary knowledge, there is need of serious reflection or meditation, serious self-examination and appropriate practical resolutions and fervent petitions to God for grace to keep said resolutions, followed up by genuine efforts to carry out these resolutions."

Prayer: Chapter 11: Vocal Prayer
"By vocal prayer is meant any prayer we recite with our lips, and this is usually done according to some special formula. All Chris tians habitually recite vocal prayers, such as the Our Father, the Hail Mary, the Apostles Creed, the acts of faith, hope, charity and contrition. The daily Divine Office which the Church prescribes to her Clergy and Religious, also the prayers of Holy Mass are chiefly taken from the Psalms and other parts of Holy Scripture; the prayers used by the priest in the administration of the sacraments and in blessings are also vocal prayers."

Chapter 9: The Ninth Precept, On Almsdeeds
"And first, no one has ever doubted of almsdeeds being commanded in Holy Writ. Sufficient is the sentence of the just and supreme Judge, (even supposing we had nothing else,) which he will pronounce against the wicked at the last day: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me not in; ... sick and in prison, and you did not visit me;" and a little lower: "Amen, I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me." (St. Matthew xxv.)"

Part 1, Chapter 4: On the Fear of Hell
"Death is rendered yet more bitter to us by the fear of hell and the clear view of eternity before us. For when we are dangerously ill, and death stares us in the face, the terror which fills us at the prospect of eternity is so overwhelming, that we are filled with fear. For we see plainly that in a few days a few hours perhaps we must enter eternity, and we know not what awaits us there. The dread lest we should be lost everlastingly is so great as to cause us to shudder."

Prayer: Chapter 9: When We Should Pray
"We should pray to God every day, for we stand every day in need of God s assistance, of God s benefits both spiritual and corporal, otherwise our divine Saviour would not have taught it to us in His admirable prayer, the Our Father, in which He enjoins us to ask our Heavenly Father: "Give us this day our daily bread." Wherefore, he who through wilful neglect, would not pray once a day, would be guilty of a venial sin. He who would neglect all prayer for a whole month, or for two months, would commit a grievous sin for neglecting for such a long time to give to God the honor he owes Him by expressing his belief and confidence in God and the love he owes Him; such is the teaching of St. Alphonsus, Doctor of the Church."

Chapter 8: The Eighth Precept, On Fasting
"The necessity of fasting is two-fold, de rived from the divine and human law. Of the divine the prophet Joel speaks: "Be converted to me with your whole heart, in fasting, and in weeping, and in mourning." The same language does the prophet Jona use, who testifies that the Ninivites, in order to appease the anger of God, pro claimed a fast in sackcloth; and yet, there was not then any positive law on fast ing. The same may be learnt from the words of our Lord in St. Matthew: "at thou, when thou fastest, anoint thy head, and wash thy face, that thou appear not to men to fast, but to thy Father who is in secret: and thy Father who seeth in secret, will repay thee." (chap. vi. 17, 18.)"

Part 1, Chapter 4: Location of Purgatory - Doctrine of theologians - Catechism of the Council of Trent - St. Thomas
"Although faith tells us nothing definite regarding the location of Purgatory, the most common opinion, that which most accords with the language of Scripture, and which is the most generally received among theologians, places it in the bowels of the earth, not far from the Hell of the reprobates. Theologians are almost unanimous, says Bellarmine, in teaching that Purgatory, at least the ordinary place of expiation, is situated in the interior of the earth, that the souls in Purgatory and the reprobate are in the same subterranean space in the deep abyss which the Scripture calls Hell."

Chapter 7: The Seventh Precept, which is on Prayer
"I will now add another precept on the three good works, prayer, fasting, and almsdeeds, which we learn from the angel Raphael. We read in the book of Tobias, that the angel Raphael thus spoke: "Prayer is good with fasting and alms, more than to lay up treasures of gold." (chap. xii. 8.) These three good works are the fruit of the virtues of religion, mercy, and temperance, which have a great affinity with piety, justice, and sobriety. For as piety regards God, justice our neighbour, and sobriety ourselves, so also prayer, which is an act of religion, regards God; almsdeeds, which is an act of mercy, regards our neighbour; and fasting, which is an act of abstinence, regards ourself. Of prayer may be written much, but ac cording to the nature of our treatise, we will only dwell on three points: the necessity of prayer; the advantage of it; and the method of praying with advantage."

Chapter 8.12: Two Parables
"Jesus spoke also a parable to them, that we ought always to pray, and not to faint, saying: There was a judge in a certain city who feared not God, nor regarded man. And there was a certain widow in that city, and she came to him, saying: Avenge me of my adversary. And he would not for a long time. But afterwards he said within himself: Although I fear not God, nor regard man, yet because this widow is troublesome to me, I will avenge her, lest continually coming, she worry me" (Luke 18. 1-5).
"Which of you, said Jesus to His disciples, who had besought Him to teach them how to pray, shall have a friend, and shall go to him at midnight, and shall say to him: Friend, lend me three loaves, because a friend of mine is come off his journey to me, and I have not what to set before him. And he from within should answer and say: Trouble me not, the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I can not rise and give thee. Yet if he shall continue knocking, I say to you, although he will not rise and give him because he is his friend; yet, because of his importunity, he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. And I say to you: Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you. For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Luke ii, 5-10)

Part 1, Chapter 3: On the Apparition of the Spirits of Darkness
"Besides what has been already mentioned, the terrible appearance of the evil spirits makes death yet more alarming to us. It is the opinion of many of the Fathers, that every one, when expiring, sees the evil enemy, at any rate at the moment of draw ing his last breath, if not before. How appalling this sight is, and with what terror it must inspire the dying, exceeds the power of words to declare."

Chapter 8.11: The Penitent Thief
"One of these robbers who were hanged (crucified) blasphemed Jesus, saying: "If Thou be Christ, save Thyself and us". But the other answering, rebuked him, saying: "Neither dost thou fear God, seeing that thou art in the same condemnation. And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this man hath done no evil". And he said to Jesus: "Lord, remember me when Thou shalt come into Thy kingdom." And Jesus said to him: "Amen I say to thee: This day thou shalt be with Me in paradise."

Part 1, Chapter 3: The Word Purgatory - Catholic Doctrine
"The word Purgatory Purgatory is sometimes taken to mean a place, sometimes as an intermediate state between Hell and Heaven. It is, properly speaking, the condition of souls which, at the moment of death, are in the state of grace, but which have not completely expiated their faults, nor attained the degree of purity necessary to enjoy the vision of God."

Chapter 6: Sixth Precept, in which Three Moral Virtues are Explained
"If then we wish to learn the Art of dying and living well, let us not follow the crowd who only believe and value what is seen; but Christ and his apostles must we follow, who by word and deed have taught us that present things are to be despised, and “the hope and coming of the glory of the great God and the Saviour Jesus Christ,” alone desired and expected. And truly, so great is that which we hope for at the glorious coining of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all the past glory, and riches, and joys of this world, will be esteemed as if they had not been; and those considered most unwise and unhappy, who in affairs of such importance, trusted rather to the foolish than to the wise."

Part 1, Chapter 2: On the Assaults of Satan at the Hour of Death
"Before expiring the Christian has yet to prove that nothing can avail to make him forsake his God. For this reason the evil enemy employs all the power he has received, and brings all his forces to bear upon a man when he is dying, in the hope of causing him to sin, and thrusting him down to hell. During our whole lifetime he attacks us fiercely, and neglects no means whereby he may deceive us. But all these perse, cutions do not bear comparison with the final on slaught with which he endeavors to overcome us at the last. Then he raves and rages, like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour."

Chapter 8.8: Cure of the woman twelve years ill and the raising to life of the daughter of Jairus
"And a woman who was under an issue of blood twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing the better, but rather worse. When she had heard of Jesus, she came in the crowd behind Him and touched His garment, for she said: If I shall touch but His garment, I shall be whole (cured). And forthwith the fountain of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of the evil. And immediately Jesus, know ing in Himself the virtue that had proceeded from Him, turning to the multitude, said: Who hath touched My garments? And His disciples said to Him: Thou seest the multitude thronging Thee, and sayest Thou, Who hath touched Me? And He looked about to see her who had done this. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before Him, and told Him all the truth. And He said to her: Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be thou whole (healed) of thy disease."
(...)
"But Jesus, having heard the word that was spoken, saith to the ruler of the synagogue : Fear not, believe only, and she shall be safe. And when He was come to the house, He suffered no one to go in with Him but Peter, James and John, and the father and mother of the maid (girl) ; and He seeth a tumult and people weeping and wailing much. And going in, He saith to them: Why make you this ado (fuss) and weep? The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn. But He, having put them all out, taketh the father and mother of the damsel and them that were with Him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying. And taking the damsel by the hand, He said to her: Talitha cuml, which means : damsel, (I say to thee) arise. And immediately the damsel rose up and walked; she was twelve years old; and they were greatly astonished. And He charged strictly that no man should know it; and com manded that something should be given her to eat."

Chapter 5: Fifth Precept, In Which the Deceitful Error of the Rich of this World is Exposed
"Let it, therefore, be a fixed rule for living well and dying well, often to consider and seriously to ponder on the account that must be given to God of our luxury in palaces, in gardens, in chariots, in the multitude of servants, in the splendour of dress, in banquets, in hoarding up riches, in unnecessary expenses, which injure a great multitude of the poor and sick, who stand in need of our superfluities; and who now cry to God, and in the day of judgment will not cease crying out until we, together with the rich man, shall be condemned to eternal flames."

Chapter 8.7: The Ten Lepers
"As Jesus entered a certain town, there met Him ten men that were lepers, and they stood afar off, and lifted up their voice, saying: “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.” When He saw them, “He said: Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And it came to pass, as they went, they were made clean. And one of them, when he saw that he was made clean, went back, with a loud voice glorifying God. And he fell on his face before His feet, giving thanks. And this man was a Samaritan. And Jesus, an swering, said: “Were not ten made clean? And where are the nine? There is no one found to return and give glory to God, but this stranger.” And He said to him: Arise, go thy way, for thy faith hath made thee whole."

Part 1, Chapter 2: Prayer for the Dead - Fear And Confidence
"Prayer for the departed, sacrifices, and suffrages for the dead form a part of Christian worship, and devotion towards the souls in Purgatory is a devotion which the Holy Ghost infuses with charity into the hearts of the faithful. “It is a holy and wholesome thought”, says Holy Scripture, “to pray for the dead, that they may be loosed from sins.” l
In order to be perfect, devotion to the souls in Purgatory must be animated both by a spirit of fear and a spirit of confidence. On the one hand, the Sanctity of God and His Justice inspires us with a salutary fear; on the other, His infinite Mercy gives us boundless confidence."

Chapter 4: Fourth Precept: Containing Three Evangelical Counsels
"From these considerations it is evident, how great must be the negligence and ignorance, not to say the blindness and madness of the greater part of mankind, who, although so often warned by the Spirit of Truth itself, who cannot deceive, to prepare for death, (that great and most difficult affair, on which eternal happiness or misery depends;) yet few are there that are roused by the words, or rather by the thunder of the Holy Spirit. But some one may reply: “What advice do you give to teach us to watch as we ought, and by watching to prepare for a good death?” Nothing more useful occurs to me, than for us frequently and seriously to examine our conscience, that so we may prepare for death."

Chapter 8.6: The Woman of Canaan
"Jesus retired into the coast of Tyre and Sidon, and entering into a house, He would that no man should know it, and He could not be hid. For a woman, as soon as she heard of Him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at His feet. For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician by birth, and she besought Him that He would cast forth the devil out of her daughter, saying: “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously troubled by a devil.” But Jesus answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought Him, saying: “Send her away, for she crieth after us.” And He, answering, said: “I was not sent but to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.” But she came and adored Him, saying: “Lord, help me.” But Jesus said: “Suffer first the children to be filled, for it is not good to take the bread of the children and to cast it to the dogs.” But she said: “Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat of the crumbs that fall from the table of their masters.” Then Jesus, answering, said to her: “O woman, great is thy faith; be it done to thee as thou wilt, for this saying (of thine); go thy way, the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed, and that the devil was gone out."

Chapter 3: The Third Precept, Which is Concerning the Three Theological Virtues
"Now we shall point out wheat he must do who is dead to the world, in order that he may live to God; for in the first chapter we proved, that no man can die well, without having lived well. The essence of a good life is laid down by St. Paul, in his first Epistle to Timothy, in these words: “Now the end of the commandment is charity from a pure heart, and a good conscience, and an unfeigned faith.” The apostle was not ignorant of the answer our Lord gave to one who had asked Him: “What shall I do to possess eternal life?” He answered, “If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” But the apostle wished to explain, in the fewest words, the end of the first commandment, on which the whole law, and the understanding of it, and its observance, and the way to eternal life, depend."

Chapter 8.5: The Ruler's Son
"Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee where He made the water wine. And there was a certain ruler whose son was sick at Capharnaum. Having heard that Jesus was come from Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and prayed Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him: “Unless you see signs and wonders, you believe not.” The ruler saith to Him: “Lord, come down before that my son die.” Jesus saith to him: “Go thy way, thy son liveth.” The man believed the word that Jesus said to him, and went his way. And as he was going down, his servants met him; and they brought word, saying that his son lived. He asked therefore of them the hour wherein he grew better. And they said to him: “Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him.” The father therefore knew that it was at that same hour that Jesus said to him: Thy son liveth, and himself believed and his whole house."

"Since, then, such is the truth, if we wish to learn the Art of dying well, it is our bounden and serious duty to go forth from the world, not in word and in tongue, but in deed and in truth; yea, to die to the world, and to exclaim with the Apostle, “The world is crucified to me, and I to the world.” This business is no trifling matter, but one of the utmost difficulty and importance: for our Lord being asked, “Are they few that are saved?” replied, “Strive to enter by the narrow gate”; and more clearly in St. Matthew doth He speak: “Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat. How narrow is the .irate, and strait is the way that leadeth to life: and few there are that find it!”"

Chapter 8.4: The Paralytic
"When it was heard that Jesus was in the house, many came together, so that there was no room; no, not even at the door; and He spoke to them the word. And they came to Him, bringing one sick of the palsy, who was carried in a bed by four men. And they sought means to bring him and to lay him before Jesus. And they could not find by what way they might bring him in, on account of the multitude. They went upon the roof, uncovered it, and let him down through the tiles with his bed into the midst before Jesus. And when Jesus had seen their faith (and that of the sick man), He said to him: “Man, thy sins are forgiven thee”. There were some scribes and pharisees sit ting there ; they began to think in their hearts: “Who is this that speaketh blasphemies? who, but God alone, can forgive sins?” And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, saith to them: “Why do you think evil in your hearts? Which is easier to say to this man sick of the palsy: Thy sins are forgiven thee, or to say: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house? But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, He saith to the sick of the palsy: I say to thee: Arise, take up thy bed and go into thy house.” And immediately he arose before them, took up his bed on which he lay, and went away in the sight of all to his own house, glorifying God. And all were astonished; and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying: We have this day seen wonderful things."

Part 1, Chapter 1: On the Terrors of Death
"There are three principal reasons why all sensible people fear death so much: First, because the love of life, the dread of death is inherent in human nature. Secondly, because every rational being is well aware that death is bitter, and the separation of soul and body cannot take place without inexpressible suffering. Thirdly, because no one knows whither he will go after death, or how he will stand in the Day of Judgment"

Chapter 8.3: The Storm
"When evening was come, Jesus said to His disciples: “Let us pass over to the other side (of the sea)”. And sending away the multitude, they take Him even as He was in the ship; and there were other ships with Him. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that the ship was filled. And He was in the hinder part of the ship, sleeping upon a pillow, and they awake Him, and say to Him: “Master, doth it not concern Thee that we perish?” And rising up, He rebuked the wind, and said to the sea: “Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was made a great calm.” And He said to them: “Why are you fearful? Have you not faith yet?” And they feared exceedingly; and they said to one another: Who is this (thinkest thou) that both wind and sea obey Him?"

Chapter 8.2: Cure of the Servant of the Centurion
"The servant of a centurion who was dear to him, being sick, was about to die. When the centurion had heard of Jesus, he sent unto Him the ancients of the Jews, desiring Him to come and heal his servant. When they came to Jesus, they besought Him earnestly, saying to Him: He is worthy that Thou shouldst do this to him, for he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a synagogue. And Jesus said: “I will come and heal him”. And Jesus went with them. And when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent his friends to say to Him in his name: “Lord, trouble not Thyself, for I am not worthy that Thou shouldst enter under my roof. For which cause neither did I think my self worthy to come to Thee; but only say the word, and my servant shall be healed; for I also am a man subject to authority, having under me soldiers; and I say to this one, Go, and he goeth, and to an other, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it”. And Jesus, hearing this, marveled, and said to them that followed Him: “Amen, I say to you, I have not found so great a faith in Israel; and to the centurion’s messengers, Go, and say to him (the centurion), as thou hast believed, be it done to thee. And they who were sent, having returned to the house, found the servant whole (well) who had been sick."

Chapter 1: First Precept: He Who Desires To Die Well Must Live Well
"We shall first treat of those precepts that relate to virtue; and afterwards of those which relate to the sacraments: for, by these two we shall be especially enabled both to live well, and to die well. But the general rule, “that he who lives well, will die well,” must be mentioned before all others; for since death is nothing more than the end of life, it is certain that all who live well to the end, die well; nor can he die ill, who hath never lived ill; as, on the other hand, he who hath never led a good life, cannot die a good death. The same thing is observable in many similar cases: for all that walk along the right path, are sure to arrive at the place of their destination; whilst, on the contrary, they who wander from it, will never arrive at their journey’s end."

Chapter 8.1: The Pharisee and The Publican
"Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a pharisee, the other a publican. The pharisee, standing, prayed thus within himself: O God, I give Thee thanks that I am not as the rest of men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, as also is this publican. I fast twice in a week; I give tithes of all I possess to the poor. And the publican, standing afar off, would not so much as lift up his eyes towards heaven, but struck his breast, saying: O God, be merciful to me, a sinner. I say to you, this man went down into his house justified, rather than the other; because every one that exalteth himself, shall be humbled; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."

Day 31: On the Death of our Saviour.
"Consider, fourthly, who it is that suffers all this; and thou shalt find, that he is the eternal Son of God, co-eternal, co-equal, and consubstantial to the Father, the great Lord and Maker of heaven and earth, infinite in power, infinite in wisdom, and in all perfections. But for whom does he suffer? For man, a poor wretched worm of the earth? for ungrateful sinners, traitors to his eternal Father, and to himself; for those very Jews that crucified him; for us mortals, who for the most part were never likel to thank him, or even so much as to think of his sufferings. O! how admirable, art thou, O Lord! in all thy ways, but in none more than in the contrivances of thy mercy! O! how does this passion of our Redeemer enrich and illustrate all the attributes of God! It is here we discover his infinite goodness and charity, in thus wonderfully communicating himself to us, and laying down his life for our sakes. It is here we discover his unparalleled mercy, in taking upon himself our miseries, and enduring the stripes due to our sins. Here we see the admirable wisdom of his providence, in opening the fountain of life to us by his death. Here we learn to fear the severity of his justice, which fell so heavy upon his only begotten Son, who had clothed himself in the resemblance of a sinner, to atone for our sins. O! what must the guilty themselves one day expect at his hands, if they do not prevent the terrors of his justice, by intantly embracing his mercy!"

Day 31: Our Saviour on the cross
"Consider, fourthly, how all things seem now to have conspired against our dearest Lord. The thought of being forsaken by his Father, and the grief and presence of his Mother, pierce him to the heart. As for his own apostles, one of them has betrayed him; another has denied Him, and the rest have abandoned him. His friends, and all those whom he had most favoured and miraculously cured, now either join with his persecutors, or at least are ashamed of him. His enemies insult him, and triumph over him. His own body by its weight is a torment to him. But what most of all afflicts him, is the foresight of the ingratitude of Christians, the little benefit they will derive from his death and passion, and the eternal loss of so many souls redeemed by his precious blood. Ah! sweet Jesus, suffer me not to be one of that unhappy number: suffer me not to be so miserable, as to join with thy enemies in crucifying thee by sin!."

Chapter 7: How to Render Our Prayers more Acceptable to God and Increase their Efficacy
"Every week almost we hear of new improvements and inventions in machinery, in comforts, in agriculture, in scientific appliances, etc., tending to increase power, efficiency, durability, productiveness, and to lessen human labor. Should we not, then, in the spiritual life, in the matters and means pertaining to salvation, be as ingenious as worldlings are in the things concerning their temporal welfare? Are not our spiritual interests in finitely superior to all temporal interests? We should, therefore, be ever ready by every means in our power to render our prayers more acceptable to God and more efficacious in obtaining from Him the assistance we so greatly need. The reader will find in this chapter some of the principal means which will surely increase the value and power of our prayers."

Day 29: Our Saviour carries his Cross, and is nailed to it
"Consider, thirdly, how our blessed Lord, having for some time, with unspeakable labour and torment, carried his cross through the streets, at last falls down under its weight, unable to carry it any further. Wonder not, my soul, at this, since besides the load of the cross oppressig his wearied body, wounded in every part, and exhausted with the loss of so much blood, his heavenly Father has laid upon his shoulders another more insupportable weight, viz. that of the sins of the whole world. Ah! Christians, it is under this intolerable burthen that your Saviour faints down. Nor is he any way eased of this merciless load by Simon of Cyrene, who was compelled to take up the cross, but bore no part of the weight of our iniquities; all which the heavenly Father laid upon his beloved Son, to be cancelled with his blood and death. O infinite goodness of the Father! O infinite charity of the Son! to do and suffer so much for wretched man. O my soul, see thou never more be ungrateful to so loving a God."

Chapter 6: Conditions of Prayer
"It is not enough for us to pray, but we should pray well, otherwise our prayers are not fit to be heard by God. When we pray, we speak to God and ask favors of Him; and therefore our prayers should be such as to be pleasing to Him, who deserves our deepest homage, reverence, respect and confidence and sees our in most heart. If our prayers and the dispositions of our heart are such as to be displeasing to Him, we need not be astonished, if they fail to obtain any thing from Him. Let us see what are the conditions or qualities of prayer pleasing to God and worthy of being heard."

"Consider, secondly, how these bloody ruffians by their cruel scourging having made but one wound of our Saviour's body, from head to foot, loose him at last from the pillar, leaving him to put on his clothes as well as he could. Ah! Christians, have compassion now on your Saviour's abandoned condition, who has no one to lend him a helping hand to bind up his gaping wounds, or staunch the blood that comes flowing from them! O! present yourselves now, and offer him what service you are able: offer at least to assist him in putting on his clothes, to cover his green wounds from the cold air. But, O! how rough are these woollen clothes to his wounded back! Alas! instead of affording him any ease or comfort, they do but increase his sores, by their rubbing upon them."

"Prayer is absolutely necessary to salvation; prayer is easy, is in every man's power, wherever, whenever, as often as he wishes; prayer is all-powerful, for God has promised to grant us what we pray for; and nevertheless, so many persons complain that their prayers are not heard, however numerous, earnest and persistent they may be! If our prayers are not heard, not granted by God, the fault is not God's, but ours."

Day 27: Our Saviour is brought before Pilate and Herod
"Consider, first, how early in the morning, notwithstanding their late sitting up, the high-priest, and his fellows in iniquity, convene a more numerous assembly of the Sanhedrim, and there again put the same question to our Saviour, "Whether he was the Son of God?" and receiving the same answer, confirm their former sentence. Yet, as they did not think it safe for themselves, being subjects of the Roman empire, to put this sentence in execution, without the consent of Pontius Pilate the governor, they determined to carry him to Pilate, and by his authority to have him crucified; a kind of execution which their malice made choice of, because it was at the same time, most ignominious, as being only for vile slaves and notorious criminals; and most cruel, as being a long and lingering death, under the sharpest and most sensible torments. Come now, O Christian soul! and contemplate thy Saviour, whilst he is hurried along the streets with his hands bound, from the house of the high-priest to the court of Pilate, attended by the whole council and their wicked ministers, publishing aloud as they go on, that now all his impostures were laid open, his hypocrisy discovered, and himself convicted of blasphemy. Behold the giddy mob, who a little before reverenced him as a prophet, now all on a sudden join with his enemies, following him with opprobrious shouts and insults as he passes along the highway, and discharging a thousand kind of injuries and affronts upon him."

Chapter 4: Prayer is All-Powerful
Who but a divine Person could have made so generous a promise and been able and absolutely reliable to keep it faithfully? But this is not a mere promise, for its very wording shows that it is equivalent to an obligation taken, so to say, under oath, for such seems to be the meaning of the expression "Amen, amen" (in truth, in truth), which our divine Saviour used whenever He wished to emphasize His words. Moreover, this wonderful promise, though addressed on this occasion only to the apostles, who were then alone present, is made to all men without exception, for Jesus, on another occasion, made no restriction of persons, but said plainly: "Every one that asketh, receiveth, and he that seeketh, findeth, and to him that knocketh it shall be opened" (Matt. 7. 8). Nothing is excepted, when we ask, or pray, in the name of Jesus Christ: "Whatsoever you shall ask the Father in My name, that will I do" (John 14. 13). "You shall ask whatever you will, and it shall be done unto you" (John 15. 17).

Day 26: On our Saviour in the court of Caiphas
"Consider, first, how our Saviour arising from his prayer, having conquered all his fears, returns to his disciples, bidding them now sleep on and take their rest; for that his hour was come, and that the traitor was just at hand. But thou, dear Lord! when wilt thou enjoy rest or peace? Not till the last sleep of death on the hard bed of the cross. Contemplate, Christians, the courage and readiness to suffer for you, which our Saviour shows to suffer for you, by going forth to meet the traitor and his band. Behold with what meekness he receives the treacherous kiss of peace. And yet, to make it evident that no power upon earth could take him but with his own free will, with two words: "Ego sum", "I am", he struck down the whole multitude that was come to apprehend him, making them all reel backward and fall to the ground. After which he delivered himself into their hands; and they having bound him, dragged him along into the city, whilst his disciples fled and abandoned him, leaving him in the hands of his enemies, who presented him first before Annas, the father-in-law of the high priest, where he was insulted by a vile servant, who struck him on the face. From thence they led him to the court of Caiphas, where the chief priests and elders were assembled, longing to see this new prisoner before them, and determined, right or wrong, to make away with him. Follow thou the Saviour, O my soul! now abandoned by all his friends: contemplate this meek Lamb, loaded with their scoffs and insults, in the midst of ravenous wolves; but carry the eyes of thy understanding still farther; view the interior of his soul, and see the joy and satisfaction he takes in complying with the will of his eternal Father, and suffering for thee; and learn from thence the like disposition in all thy sufferings."

Chapter 3: Necessity of the Prayer of Petition
"(...) prayer is an absolutely necessary and universal means of salvation, for every one who prays as he should, will surely be able to keep all the commandments of God, to avoid sin, to practise all the Christian virtues and persevere unto death in the grace of God and thus reach his place in Heaven. On the other hand, he who neglects prayer, will not be able to keep all the commandments of God, to overcome difficult and strong temptations, to avoid grievous sin, to obtain the forgiveness of his sins, or to persevere in divine grace until death. This will now be made plain to the attentive and reflecting reader, for prayer is absolutely necessary for both the sinner and the just."

Day 25: On the Passion of Christ: and, first on our Saviour in the garden of Gethsemani.
"Consider, secondly, how our dear Saviour, under this anguish and sadness, betakes himself to prayer, as the only refuge under afflictions, the only shield in the day of battle. But take notice my soul, with what reverence he prays, prostrate on the ground, to his eternal Father, and with what fervour; "with a loud cry and tears," says the Apostle, Heb. v. 7. Learn then to im- itate him. In this prayer he condescended so far as to allow his inferior part to petition, that the cup of his bitter passion might be removed from him: but then he immediately added; "yet not my will, but thine be done" to teach us, under all trials and crosses, a perfect submission and resignation to the divine will."

Chapter 2: Why We Should Pray
"Divine grace, that is, God's help, is absolutely necessary for us in all that concerns our salvation. To be saved, we are required to keep the Commandments, but this we can do only with the assistance of divine grace; and to obtain it, it behooves us to pray to God for it. The Council of Trent, adopting the saying of St. Augustine, says: "God in commanding us to do what we are not able to accomplish of ourselves, admonishes us to do all we can of ourselves and to pray to Him for help to do what is beyond our power, and when we so pray, He imparts to us the grace to accomplish it." This, together with what has already been said in III, shows us the absolute necessity of the prayer of petition, as the prayer or supplication for God's help is usually called. Wherefore we are strictly obliged to pray for God's assistance in all that pertains to our salvation, and as we shall see further on, we should do so in our temporal needs, though under certain conditions. As we daily need the divine assistance in both spiritual and temporal wants, it behooves us to pray daily, and even many times daily to repeat : "I am needy and poor; O God, help me" (Ps. 69. 6)."

Day 24: On the Presence of God
"Consider, secondly, that God being every where, sees us wherever we are; all our actions are done in his sight; our very thoughts, even the most secret motions and dispositions of our hearts, cannot be concealed from his all-seeing eye. In vain does the sinner flatter himself in his crimes, saying, like the libertine mentioned by the wise man, Eccl. xxiii. that "darkness encompasses him, and walls cover him, and no one sees him whom he fears." Alas! "the eyes of the Lord are infinitely brighter than the rays of the sun;" and no darkness, clouds, walls, or curtains, can screen us from his piercing sight, which penetrating clearly, sees the very centre of the soul; and no wonder that he shouk clearly see wliat passes in the place where he is always present"

"And here we should from our inmost heart thank the boundless mercy, goodness and love of our Father in heaven, who will most willingly help us, if we but pray to Him and invoke His help in our wants, in all that conduces to our gaining possession of “our place in Heaven.” This proves the absolute necessity of prayer for our salvation. Unless we pray God to help us, we can not reckon on God s indispensable grace or help in the work of our salvation; but if we pray to Him to help us to save our soul, to gain “our place in Heaven,” God’s necessary help will be given us and will enable us to perform all that is necessary for our salvation. Prayer thus becomes, as it were, the instrument of our salvation, the key of Heaven."

Day 23: On Time and Eternity.
"Consider, first, how precious a thing time is, which we are apt to squander away as if it were of no value. Time is the measure of our lives, and as much as we lose of our time so much of our life is absolutely lost. All our time is given us in order to gain eternity; and there is not one moment of our time in which we may not work for eternity; and in which we may not store up immense treasures and everlasting treasures. As many therefore as we lose of these precious moments, so many are there lost eternities. The present time is the only time of working; it is the only time we can call our own, and God only knows how long it will last. It is short, it flies away in an instant, and when once it is gone, it cannot be recalled; the very moment in which we are reading this line is just passing, never, no never more to return. Every hour is posting away, without stopping one moment, till it be swallowed up in the immense gulf of eternity, and as many of these hours or moments as are lost, are lost for ever; the loss is irreparable. Learn hence, O my soul! to set a just value upon the present time; learn to husband it well, by employing it in good works."

Day 22: Against Delay of Repentance
"Consider, secondly, the great presumption of sinners, who put off thefr reconciliation with an offended God till another time, shutting their ears to his voice, by which he calls them at present, and refusing him entrance into their hearts, where he stands and knocks. Alas! if he withdraw himself, they are undone for ever how dare they then treat him with so much contempt? Is it not an infinite goodness, and inexpressible condescension in this sovereign Majesty, to call after them, whilst they are running from him; and so earnestly press them, without any interest on his side, to return to him who is their only good and supreme happiness? What then ought they not to apprehend from his justice, if they obstinately and insolently refuse to embrace his mercy? How dare they pretend to dispose of the time to come, or promise themselves greater graces hereafter than those wich they now abuse; Do they not know that God alone is master of time and grace, and that by his just judgment; those who presume to tempt him in this manner, generally speaking, die in their sfns? Ah! it is too true, that he who has promised pardon to the sinner that is sincerely converted, has neither promised time nor efficacious grace to those who defer their conversion"

Day 21: On Doing Penance for Our Sins
"Consider, first, those words of Christ, Luke xiii. 3-5. "Except ye do penance, ye shall all perish". Behold here a general rule, nor does our Lord make any exception. Penance then is necessary; first, for those whose conscience accuses them of mortal sin; alas! such as these must either do penance for their sins, or burn for them for all eternity! Poor sinners! their state is most deplorable! they are playing upon the brink of hell, and every moment one or other of them is tumbling into that bottomless pit; and is it possible they should be unconcerned under so great and evident a danger? Why then do they not lay hold of the grace of penance, the only plank that can save hem from shipwreck; the only means left for the salvation of their souls. Secondly, penance is necessary for all those who, though their conscience accuses them not at present, yet have, in heir past life, been guilty of such mortal offences. Ah! Christians, one mortal sin enough for us to do penance during all our life. And how can we do less, if we consider what mortal sin is; what It is to have been the enemies ot God; what it is so have been under the sentence of eternal damnation; and never to know for certain whether this sentence has been cancelled! Is not this sufficient to oblige us to a penitential life? Can we otherwise pretend to be secure? Even these (and God best knows how few they are) who are not conscious to themselves of having committed such a sin in their whole lifetime, must not therefore think themselves exempt from the obligation of doing penance; as well because of their own hidden sins, as of those which they may have occasioned in others; for "no man knows whether he be worthy of love or hatred" Eccl. viii. 9. as also, because a penitential life is the best security against sin, which will insensibly prevail over us, if not curbed by self-denial, mortification, and penance."

Day 20: On the Relapsing Sinner
"Consider, first, that if one mortal sin be so heinous a treason against the sovereign majesty of God, as we have seen in the foregoing chapter; if every such sin be an abomination to our Lord, and the death of that unhappy sinner who is guilty of it, what must we think of the miserable condition of relapsing sinners, that is, of such Christians as are continually relapsing again and again into the same mortal sins, after repeated confessions and solemn promises of amendment? Alas! what can we otherwise think, but that by this method of life they are treasuring up to themselves wrath against the day of wrath; which will in all appearance, sooner or later, draw down the dreadful vengeance of God upon their guilty heads. Because by every relapse their crime is aggravated, and their latter condition becomes worse than the former."

Day 19: On Mortal Sin.
"Consider, fourthly, that sin is infinitely odious and detestable in the sight of God, as being infinitely opposite to his sovereign goodness. He hates it with an eternal and necessary hatred; and can no more cease to hate it, than he can cease to be just. Hence if the most just man upon earth were so unhappy as to fall into the least mortal sin, he would in that instant become the enemy of God, and were he to die in the guilt thereof, he would certainly feel the weight of God's avenging justice for all eternity. Ah! Christians, never let us be so mad as to venture to wage war with God. Alas! how many dreadful judgments does he daily exercise upon sin and sinners? How many, in punishment of sin, are snatched away in the flower of their age, by sudden and unprovided death? How many die in despair? How many, after having long abused God's graces, are given up to a reprobate sense, and hardness of heart, the worst and most terrible of all his judgments? O! let us tremble at the thoughts of so great a misfortune; let us be convinced, that there can be no misery so great as that which we incur by mortal sin; and that we are more our own enemies, and do ourselves more mischief, by consenting to but one mortal sin, than all the men upon earth, and all the devils in hell could do us, though they were all to conspire together to do their worst; because all they can do, so long as we refuse consent to sin, cannot hurt the soul; whereas, by consenting to one mortal sin, we bring upon our own souls a dreadful and eternal death. Good God! never suffer us to be so blinded as to become thus the murderers of our own souls."

Day 18: On the Small Number of the Elect.
"Consider, first, those words of Christ: "Many are called but few are chosen"; which contain a great and awful truth, frequently inculcated by the mouth of truth itself, to rouse unthinking mortals from that profound lethargy, into which the enemy has lulled them. This is one of those lessons, which he has laid down for a foundation of Christian morality, in his divine sermon on the mountain, St. Matt. vii. 13,14. where he exhorts us to "enter in at the narrow gate, for broad is the gate, and wide is the way, that leads to damnation, and many there are that enter by it. O! how narrow is the gate and strait the way that leads to life, and few there are that find it". Hence in the same sermon, he declares, that "not every one that says to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father, who is in heaven", by a faithful compliance with the law of God and his gospel. Without this, he assures us, that it will avail us nothing, even to have done miracles in his name. "Many shall say to me in that day (of judgment): Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name, and cast out devils in thy name, and done many wonders in thy name? And then I will declare to them: I never knew you, depart from me, ye workers of iniquity". Good God! what will become of us, if those, that have even done miracles in thy name, shall nevertheless be excluded thy eternal kingdom?"

Day 17: On Heaven.
"Consider, secondly, that although this blessed kingdom abounds with all that can be imagined good and delightful, yet there is one sovereign good, in the sight, love and enjoyment of which consists the essential beatitude of the soul; and that is God himself, whom the blessed ever behold face to face; and by the contemplation of his infinite beauty, are set on fire with seraphic flames of love, and, by a most pure and amiable union, are transformed in a manner into God himself; as when brass or iron in the furnace is perfectly penetrated by the fire, it loseth its own nature, and becometh all flame and fire. Happy soul! What can be wanting to complete your joys, who are in perfect possession of your God, the overflowing source of all good; who have, within and without you, the vast ocean of endless felicity! O! the excessive bounty of our God, who giveth his servants, in reward of their loyalty, so great a good, which is nothing less than himself, the immense joy of angels! O! shall that not suffice, my soul, to make thee happy, which makes God himself happy?"

Day 16: On a Miserable Eternity.
"Consider, first, that what above all things makes hell intolerable is the eternity of its torments. It is this eternity, which is an infinite aggravation of all and every one of them: it is this loathsome ingredient which makes every drop of that bitter cup of the divine vengeance, of which the sinners of the earth must drink, so insupportable. Were there any hopes that the miseries of the damned would one day have an end, though it was after millions of ages, hell would be no longer hell, because it would admit of some comfort. But, for all those inexpressible torments to continue for ever, as long as God shall be God, without the least hope of ever seeing an end of them: Oh! this it is, that is the greatest rack of the damned. Oh! Eternity! Eternity! How little do worldlings apprehend thee now! But how terrible wilt thou be to them one day, when they shall find themselves ingulfed in thy bottomless abyss, there to be for ever the butt and mark of all the arrows of God's avenging justice!"

Day 15: On the Interior Pains of Hell
"Consider, secondly, in particular, that pain of loss, which, in the judgment of divines, is the greatest of all the torments of hell; though worldlings here have difficulties of conceiving how this can be. Alas! poor sinners, so weak is their notion of eternal goods, and so deeply are they immersed in the things of this world, amusing themselves with a variety of created objects, which divert their thoughts from God's sovereign goodness, that they cannot conceive how the loss of God can be so great and dismal a torment, as the saints and servants of God, who are guided by better lights, all agree it is. But the case will be altered when they find themselves in hell. There they shall be convinced, by their own woeful experience, what misery it is to have lost their God; to have lost him totally; to have lost him irrevocably; to have lost him eternally; to have lost him in himself; to have lost him in all his creatures; to be eternally banished from him, who was their only happiness, last end, sovereign good, the overflowing fountain of all good: and in losing him to have lost all that is good, and that for ever. As long as sinners are in this mortal life, they many ways partake of the goodness of God, "who makes the sun to rise upon the good and bad, and rains upon the just and unjust". All that is agreeable in this world, all that is delightful in creatures, and all that is comfortable in life, is all in some measure a participation of the divine goodness. No wonder then, that the sinner, whilst he so many ways partakes of the goodness of God, should not in this life be sensible of what it is to be totally and eternally deprived of him. But in hell, alas! those unhappy wretches shall find, that in losing God, they have also lost all kind of good or comfort, which any of his creatures heretofore afforded; instead of which, they find all things now conspiring against them, nor any way left of diverting the dreadful thought of this loss, which is always present to their minds, and grinds them with inexpressible torment."

Day 14: On the Exterior Pains of Hell
"Consider, first, the description which Holy Job gives us of hell: Job x. when he calls it a darksome land and covered with the obscurity of death; a country of misery and darkness, where no order but everlasting horror dwells. In this gloomy region, no sun, no moon, no stars appear; no comfortable rays of light, not even the least glimpse, are ever to be seen. The very fire that burneth there, contrary to the natural property of that element, is black and darksome, and affords no light to the wretches it torments, except it be to discover to them such objects as may increase their misery. Christians, what would you think were you to be sentenced to pass the remainder of your days in some horrid dungeon, or hole, deep under ground, where you could never see the light? Would not death itself be preferable to such a punishment? And what is this to that eternal night to which the damned are sentenced? The Egyptians were in a sad condition, when for three days the whole kingdom was covered with dreadful darkness, caused by such gross exhalations, that they might even be felt by the hand. But this misery was soon over, and they were comforted by the return of light. Not so the damned in hell; whose night shall never have a morning, nor ever expect the dawning of the day!"

Day 13: On Hell
"Consider, more in particular, what damnation is, and how many and how great the miseries it involves. A dying life, or rather a living death; a darksome prison; a loathsome dungeon; a binding hand and foot in eternal chains, and a land of horror and misery; a lake of fire and brimstone; a bottomless pit; devouring flames; a serpent ever gnawing; a worm that never dies; a body always burning and never consumed; a feeling always fresh for suffering; a thirst never extinguished; perpetual weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth. No other company but devils and damned wretches, all hating and cursing one another; all hating and cursing God; spirits always in an agony, and sick to death, yet never meeting with this death, which they so much desire; cast forth from the face of God into the land of oblivion; none to comfort, none to pity them; wounded to the heart with the sense of lost happiness; and oppressed with the feeling of present misery. And all these sufferings everlasting, without the least hope of end, of intermission, or abatement. This is a short description, drawn, for the most part, from God's unerring word, of the miseries which eternal damnation imports; this is the bitter cup, of which all the sinners of the earth must drink, Ps. lxxiv."

Day 12: On the Last Sentence of the Good and Bad.
"Consider first, how this great trial shall be concluded by a final definitive sentence in favour of the just, and for the condemnation of the wicked. And first, the Sovereign Judge, turning himself towards his elect, with a most sweet and amiable countenance, shall invite them into the happy mansions of everlasting bliss: "Come ye blessed of my Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the beginning of the world" Mat. xxv. O happy invitation! Happy, thrice happy they, that shall be found worthy to hear that comfortable sentence! What unspeakable satisfaction, what torrents of joy and pleasure will the hearing of it give to those blessed creatures! "I am filled with joy", says the royal prophet, "at the happy tidings which I have heard; we are to enter into the house of the Lord" Ps. cxxi. But, Oh! what envy, what rage and malice will the reprobate feel at the hearing of this invitation, when they shall see several of their acquaintance called to take possession of that eternal kingdom, which they might also have so easily purchased; but by their own folly and stupidity, have blindly exchanged it for the flames of hell."

"Consider, how much the anguish and confusion of the wicked will be increased, at the opening of the books of conscience, when all the guilt of their whole lives shall be laid open to the public view of the universe. Ah, poor sinner! what will thy thoughts be, when those crimes, which thou hast committed in the greatest secrecy, and which thou wouldst not have known for the world; those abominations, which thou imaginedst covered with the obscurity of night and darkness, and which thou didst flatter thyself thy friends and acquaintance would never know; those works of iniquity which perhaps thou couldst not find in thy heart to discover to one person, tied by all laws to a perpetual secresy, shall all now be exposed in their true colours, to the eyes of the whole world, angels and men, good and bad, to thy eternal shame. Ah! Christians, it is now in your power to prevent, by a sincere repentance and confession, this confusion which you must otherwise one day suffer."

"Consider the wonderful difference there will be at the time of this general resurrection between the bodies of the just and those of the wicked. The just shall arise in bodies most beautiful, more pure than the stars, more resplendent than the sun, immortal and impassible: but the wicked shall arise in bodies suitable to their deserts; foul, black, hideous, and every way loathsome and insupportable; immortal, it is true, but to no other end than to endure immortal torments. What an inexpressible rack will it be to these wretched souls, to be forced into such carcasses, to be condemned to an eternal confinement in so horrid, so filthy an abode! Ah! take thou care, my soul, to keep thy body now pure from the corruption of carnal sins, lest otherwise it be one day an aggravation of thy eternal misery."

Day 9: On the Particular Judgment after Death
"Consider how exact, how rigorous his judgment will be, where even the least idle word cannot escape the scrutiny of the Judge. Oh! what treasures of iniquity will here come to light, when the veil shall be removed, which hides at present the greatest part of our sins from the eyes of the world, and even from our own; and the whole history of our lives shall at once be exposed to our view. Good God! who can be able to bear this dreadful sight? Here shall the poor soul be brought to a most exact examination of all that she has done, or left undone, in the whole time of her pilgrimage in this mortal body: how she has corresponded with the divine inspirations; what use she has made of God's graces; what profit she has reaped from the sacraments which she has received; from the word of God which she has heard or read; what advantage she has made of those favourable circumstances in which God Almighty has placed her; how she has employed the talents with which he has entrusted her: even her best works shall be nicely sifted; her prayers, her fasts, her almsdeeds; the intention with which she has undertaken them; the manner in which she has performed them: all shall be weighed, not in the deceitful balance of the judgment of men , but in the scales of the sanctuary. Ah! how many of our actions will here be found to want weight, according to that of Dan. v: Thou hast been weighed in the balance, and art found of too little weight. Oh I enter not into judgment with thy servant, O Lord; for no man living shall be justified in thy sight. Ps. cxlii."

Day 8: On the Sentiments We shall have at the Hour of our Death.
"Christian soul, what will be thy sentiments at the hour of death with regard to this world, and all its perishable goods, vain honours, false riches and cheating pleasures. Alas! the world must then end in thy regard; it will turn upside down before thy eyes; and thou wilt begin to see clearly the nothingness of all those things on which thou hast here set thy heart. How wilt thou then despise all worldly honours and preferments, when thou seest thyself at the brink of the grave, where the worms will make no distinction between the king and the beggar! How little account wilt thou then make of the esteem of men, who now will think no more of thee? How wilt thou undervalue thy riches, which must now be left behind thee, when six foot of land, a coffin and a shroud, will be all thy possession? How despicable will all worldly pleasures then seem to thee, which, at the best, could never give thee any true satisfaction, and now fly from thee, and dissolve into smoke in thy sight! Ah! my poor soul, enter now into the same sentiments which thou shalt certainly have at the hour of thy death: thus, and only thus, thou shalt be out of danger of being deceived by this deceitful world."

Day 7: On death.
"Consider that there is nothing more certain than death. It is appointed for all men once to die; and, after that, judgment. The sentence is general; it is pronounced upon all the children of Adam: neither wealth, nor strength, nor wisdom, nor all the power of this world can exempt any one from this common doom. From the first moment of our birth, we are hastening to our death: every moment brings it nigher to us. The day will come, it will certainly come, and only God knows how soon, when we shall never see the night: or the night will come, when we shall never see the ensuing morning. The day will most certainly come, when thou, my soul, must bid a long farewell to this cheating world, and all thou hast admired therein; and even to thy own body, the individual companion of thy life; and take thy journey to another country, where all that thou settest a value upon here, will appear as smoke: learn then to despise this miserable world, and all its enjoyments, with which thou must part so soon, whether thou wilt or not."

Day 6: On the happiness of serving God.
"Consider that the truest riches are to be found in the service of God; not, indeed, always those worldly possessions, which are attended with so many cares and fears; which are daily exposed to so many accidents, and which are not capable of satisfying the heart: but the inestimable treasure of the grace of God, which is the seed of everlasting glory; the gifts of the Holy Ghost; the love of God; in a word, God himself; whom the whole world cannot take from the soul, unless she be so miserably blind as to drive him away by mortal sin. Add to this the fatherly providence of God over the just; that his eyes are always upon them to take care of their welfare; that his angels always encamp about them to guard them by night and by day: Ps. xxxiii. v. 8. that, as he formerly said to Abraham, Gen. xv. he himself is their protector, and their reward exceeding great. He is their friend, and the best of friends; the shepherd of their souls, who leads them out to his admirable pastures, to the fountains of living water. His tenderness towards them is beyond that of a father, nay, beyond that of the tenderest mother: Isaiah xlix. 15, 16. In short, God is all things to those that fear him. Oh! my soul, seek no other treasure than him. Fear nothing but the losing of him If thou hast him, nothing can make thee miserable; but without him, nothing can make thee happy."

Day 5: On the Vanity of the World.
"Consider the shortness of all worldly enjoyments. Man's days are very short: the longest life is less than one moment, if compared with eternity. A thousand years, in the sight of God, that is, in very truth, are but as yesterday that is past and gone: Psalm lxxxix. 4. Alas! does not daily experience shew us, that we are here to-day, and gone to-morrow, and no sooner out of sight, but out of mind too? For as soon as we are in the grave, those that we leave behind think no more of us. All flesh is grass, says the Prophet Isaiah, chap. xl. 6. and all the glory of it but like that of the flower of the field. And what is that, but flourishing in the morning, and fading in the evening? Oh! how truly is our life likened by St. James, chap. iv. to a vapour; a thin smoke, which is dispersed by the first puff of wind, and we see no more of it? How justly is it compared by Solomon, Wisdom, chap. v. to a shadow, or to the passing of a bird upon the wing, or an arrow from the bow, which leaves no mark behind it? Ah! how vain it is to set our hearts upon what we must leave so soon!"

Day 4: On the Dignity and Obligations of a Christian.
"Consider, that at baptism each one of us, according to the ancient ceremony of the Catholic Church, was clothed with a white garment, which the minister of Christ gave us with these words: receive this white garment, which thou shalt carry without spot or stain before the judgment-seat of Christ. Happy souls, that comply with this obligation! What a comfort will it be to them in life, what a joy and satisfaction in death, to have kept this robe of innocence undefiled! But, O baptismal innocence, where shall we find thee in this unhappy age? O blindness and stupidity of the children of Adam, that part so easily with such an inestimable treasure! Alas! my poor soul, has it not been thy misfortune? Oh! make haste to wash away, with penitential tears, those dreadful stains of sin, which otherwise must be the eternal fuel of hell's merciless flames."

Day 3: On the Benefits of God
"Consider, Christian soul, whoever thou art, the particular providence of God towards thee! With how many graces he has presented thee from thy tender years: from how many misfortunes he has preserved thee! Has he not borne with thee for a long time, whilst others have been cut off in their sins? Are there not millions now burning in hell for less sins than thou hast committed? Reflect on the advantages thou hast received above thousands: what conveniencies of life, what friends, what health &c; whilst so many, more worthy than thyself, have been abandoned to poverty and misery. Ah! admire the unspeakable goodness of thy God to thee: be astonished and confounded at thy past ingratitude: resolve from henceforth never to cease giving him thanks and blessing his name."

Day 2: On the End of Our Creation
"Consider, that the almighty hand of God, descending into that deep abyss of nothing, has drawn thee forth from thence, and given thee this being which thou now enjoyest, the most accomplished and perfect of any in this visible world, capable of knowing and loving God in this life, and designed for everlasting happiness with him in the next. Admire and adore the bounty of thy God, who from all eternity has designed this being for thee, preferably to so many millions of others which he has left behind, that had as fair a title to a being as thou hadst. Look forward into that immense eternity for which thou hast been created, and thankfully acknowledge, that the love thy God bears thee has neither beginning nor end, but reaches from eternity to eternity."

Day 1: On The Necessity Of Consideration.
"Consider, that, to save our souls, we must also know ourselves; we must know our misery and corruption, that we may be humble and diffident in ourselves; we must know our irregular inclinations and passions, that we may fight against them, and overcome them; we must study and watch the motions of our own hearts, that we may not be surprised by sin, and sleep in death. And how can this all-necessary knowledge of ourselves, this science of the saints, be acquired without the help of daily Consideration? Ah! how unhappy are they who know all things else, and are strangers to themselves! Let us then daily pray with St. Augustin, Noverim te, Noverim me; Lord, give me grace to know thee, Lord give me grace to know myself: and let us labour for these two most necessary sciences, by frequent consideration."
