Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is meant for all, layman and clergy alike. This advice is even more important today than it was over a century ago! How many have false ideas of devotion and substitute devotions for devotion? In reading this book and Fr. Grou's 'Spiritual Maxims', which he recommends you read after this, we recommend taking no more than a chapter a day and meditating on its contents. Take this holy advice to heart, for the goal here is sanctification. Home-schoolers could take a chapter a week as part of the religious education of high-school children. For grade school we recommend 'A Mother Speaks to Her Children' by the Countess of Flavigny. Of course, parents, you must live a truly devout life if you wish your children to follow your example. Fr. Grou says: "Early embrace His love, and this Holy affection will preserve you from the poisoned flattery which the world will some day offer you; and you Christian parents, you teachers of the young, you who could the conscience, hasten to bend it under the yoke of Christ. "For idleness of heart at prayer is the mortal sin of sloth", Fr. Grou warns us. He also says: "True devotion is sever upon itself, but indulgent for others;..." This reminds us of the Spiritual Maxims, which he recommends be studied after this book.St. Alphonsus writes: “a single bad book will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery.” Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: “There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals!' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty!” We at St. Pius X Press are calling for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Characteristics of True Devotion This little book has been the most widely circulated of all Father Grou's writings. Forty editions in French, and, including the present version, four translations into English, show that it, indeed, has been well known; yet to-day there is no reliable edition in print, so that some of those who take it up will meet with it for the first time. A few words about it and its author may not, therefore, be amiss. It was published for the first time at Paris in 1788, and is the second in order of time of Father Grou's ascetic writings, being preceded in 1786 by Morale tiree des Confessions de Saint Augustin.

Excerpt: ... other, and that the spiritual life is a perpetual warfare. Experience teaches him still more thoroughly. At the first attempt he learns how difficult it is to conquer himself; to struggle against his evil inclinations; how much time and effort the correction of the smallest fault requires; how much the practice of piety costs, notwithstanding his love for it; how much resistance he opposes to grace, by the weakness, the negligence, the unfaithfulness, of which he is guilty every day; how feeble his will; how transient his resolutions; how fruitless his good intentions; how strong over him are the dominion of the world, the flesh, and the Devil; and how, without special and continual help from God, he will surely fall! This experimental knowledge of himself, joined with the light he receives from above, inspires humility, which is nothing but the close conviction and consciousness of the fearful depth of corruption within, that age and opportunities have developed. The farther we advance, the deeper becomes this conviction, and the more humility takes root in the heart. Hence his contempt of himself, his salutary distrust of his own strength, the sincere preference he gives to others; believing them to be better than himself, or, at least, not doubting, that, if they had received the same grace, they would have much more profited by it. Hence, also, that confusion in view of the favor God bestows upon him, and of the esteem and affection of others, and the approbation they confer. Instead of exalting him, all this humbles and abases him. If he reflects upon himself, it is only to humble him the more. He is blind to his virtues, ignores his progress, attributes all his victories to God, and his failures to himself. CHAPTER XXI. Sttnpliettg...
