The Spiritual Life (Paperback)


Book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1856. Excerpt: ... PART III. THE NOURISHMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE. The counsels of Religion are not to be applied to the distempers of the soul as men used to take hellebore, but they must dwell together with the spirit of a man, and be twisted about his understanding for ever; they must be used like nourishment--that is, by a daily care and meditation--not like a single medicine and in the actual pressure of a present necessity. Bishop J. Taylob. What then remains ?--To seek Those helps, for his occasions ever near, Who lacks not will to use them; vows, renewed On the first motion of a holy thought; Vigils of contemplation; praise; and prayer, A stream, which, from the fountain of the heart, Issuing, however feebly, nowhere flows Without access of unexpected strength. WoEDS WORTH. Qu'est-ce donc qu'un homme qui, reconnoissant l'Etre Supreme, ne le prie pas ? C'est un infortune qui n'a point de Dieu; qui vit tout seul dans l'univers; qui ne tient a aucun etre hors de lui; qui, retombant sur son propre c ur, n'y trouve que lui-meme, c'est a dire, ses peines ses degouts, ses inquietudes, ses terreurs, avec quoi il puisse s'entretenir.

Massillon. PART III. THE NOURISHMENT OF THE SPIRITUAL LIFE. CHAPTER I. THE NECESSITY OF DEVOTIONAL EXERCISES. We have seen ...
