Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shadows and Realities constitute the great contrast between earth and heaven, time and eternity. "What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue!" was an exclamation once uttered upon the floor of the British Senate by Burke, one of England's most eloquent statesmen, not less true than solemn and sublime. But the revelations of the Bible have come to displace these human, these earthly shadows, with divine and heavenly REALITIES. The Bible is trueeternity is real. "We have not followed cunningly devised fables" in yielding our unquestioning belief to the great and precious truths of the Gospel. Experience has proved them real, has demonstrated them divine. We have tried the world, and it has wounded usthe creature, and it has disappointed usthe teaching of men, and it has bewildered usour own hearts, and they have proved "deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked." We turn to the "glorious Gospel of the blessed God," and we find it, through the anointing of the Holy Spirit, light in darkness, joy in sorrow, counsel in perplexity, strength in weakness, and hope in despair. It tells us of Jesus, the loving One, the mighty One, the sympathizing One, the faithful One, the saving One; and concentrating our whole soul in childlike faith upon Him, we prove the Gospel divine, God's Word trueall it threatens, and all it promises, REAL. The following pages will, we trust, in a humble way, lead the reader into a closer acquaintance with a few of these Divine Realities. With them many who take up this volume, may be already familiar. Those who have welcomed them before, as they have eagerly looked for a word of counsel and comfort at the opening of a new year, may not regret to meet them again in another and more permanent form. To those to whom they will be new, this will explain the particular and appropriate bearing of each chapter upon this reflective and impressive period of time. But, believing that they contain instructive and saving, sanctifying and consolatory truths, suitable for the history of every-day life, and that they have already had the seal of the Divine blessing, the author commends them with confidence, in their enlarged form, to the prayerful perusal of the Christian Church, and to the continued favor of the Triune God.

Download or read book The Sinner s Guide written by Venerable Louis of Granada and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two things, Christian reader, particularly excite the will of man to good. A principle of justice is one, the other the profit we may derive therefrom. All wise men, therefore, agree that justice and profit are the two most powerful inducements to move our wills to any undertaking. Now, though men seek profit more frequently than justice, yet justice is in itself more powerful; for, as Aristotle teaches, no worldly advantage can equal the excellence of virtue, nor is any loss so great that a wise man should not suffer it rather than yield to vice.

Download or read book Two as One written by Michael Ignatius and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Introduction: The aspiration here is to provide a one-hundred-day path to follow leading to holiness. It doesn’t matter where you are in your spiritual journey, if you desire to be holy, this book seeks to be at least one tool giving you the means to do so. The basic method for utilizing the book is simple. You will spend two days internalizing a chapter before moving on to the next chapter and repeating the process. It will be interesting to note the differences that are realized on the second day of a chapter in comparison to the first. Even though it is the same Bible passage, for example, it may trigger an entirely different train of thought and inspiration. Such is the way that Sacred Scripture works when utilized for prayer. Above all else, the book is intended to be a time-tested source for initiating lasting contemplative prayer.
