A COLLECTION OF PRIVATE DEVOTIONS TOR THE HOURS OF PRAYER. OP THE ANCIENT AND ACCUSTOMED TIMES OP PRAYEB IN GENERAi. At all times and in all places to give thanks and praise unto Almighty God our heavenly Father, with all manner of devout prayer and supplication, is no more than our very meet, right, and hounden duty. But inasmuch as the common employments of inostTi and the natural infirmities of all sorts of people he Bo great, that, whiles they have this body of flesh upon them, they cannot possibly attend the heavenly exercise of prayer and thanksgiving without any intermission at all, it hath therefore been the custom of religious and godly persons in all ages, to appoint themselves certain set Times And Houhs of the day, wherein to perform their devotions. By which means it came to pass, that, as other careless people spent the whole day either in their own affairs or pleasures, these men bestowed it, or the chief and more eminent parts of it at least, in the affairs and service of God. They that understood Christ's parablea so as if "men ought always to pray," and to do nothing else, mistook the matter, and were put into the catalogue of heretics for their labour. They, on the other side, that went about to take away all set times of prayer, to maintain their affected liberty, and to do it only when they list, have deserved no less blame, and incurred no milder censure. Wise a Luke xviii. 1. men have gone an even path, and, expounding the Scripture for continual praj-er, by the continual practice of the Church, have neither one 'way nor other offered any violence to devotion. The practice, then, of old hath been, so to keep up prayer that men might keep up themselves withal. TJireeb times a-day to perform this duty, and...

Download or read book Light and Peace written by R. P. Quadrupani and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-02-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A Christian, says Saint Bernard, who has no one at hand who gives him occasion to suffer, should seek such a person eagerly and buy him at any price, that he may have opportunity to practice meekness and patience. If you are not disposed to go to this expense, at least profit of whatever opportunities divine Providence has given you gratuitously, that you may accustom yourself to the exercise of these two inestimable virtues." Sounds like harsh advice, but Father Quadrupani explains how this will bring us light and peace. "Your vocal prayers should be few in number but said with great fervor. The strength derived from food does not depend upon the quantity taken but upon its being well digested. Far better one Our Father or one Psalm said with devout attention than entire rosaries and long offices recited hurriedly and with restless eagerne3ss." Father Quadrupani advises in his section on vocal prayer. He quotes Saint Francis de Sales, who says: "When your mind wanders or gives way to distractions, gently recall it and place it once more close to its Divine master. IF you should do nothing else but repeat this during the whole time of prayer, your hour would be very well spent and you would perform a spiritual exercise most acceptable to God." He also quotes from Saint Augustine: "You pray often if you have a desire to pay homage to God by your actions: you pray always if you always have this desire, no matter how you may be otherwise employed." And these are just a few gems in this wonderful spiritual classic. He warns those who wish to pile devotion upon devotion: "Excess even in holy things is wrong, as virtue ends where excess begins." He gives advice on all aspects of our life to help us become the saints God has called us to become. "Conversation should be marked by a gentle and devout pleasantness, and your manner when engaged in it, ought to be equable, composed and gracious. Mildness and cheerfulness make devotion and those who practice it attractive to others." This reminds us of our duty to bring others to the happiness that can be only found in the devout practice of Catholicism by showing by our demeanor how happy we truly are. Light and Peace will lead us to this happiness.
