Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memorials of the Blessed: A Series of Short Lives of the Saints What more beautiful preparation for death could there be, than the one made by the author of this little volume? To dwell and ponder upon, and then set forth, the Memorials of the Blessed, was the task he proposed to himself, and after he had done the one, and before he could accomplish the other, he was sum moned to the company of those Blessed Saints, whose virtues he had striven to teach, both by word and example.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Saints' Everlasting Rest They were born in the midst of conflicts civil and religious; and as they grew up, their ears heard no other sounds than those of defiance and controversy. Thus life was to them, in fact and reality, that war fare, which is to many of us only its rhetorical em blem. To this is to be attributed that severity of rebuke, and sternness of denunciation, which we are sometimes almost sorry to meet with in their expos tulations. But they were obhged to speak loud, in order to be heard in those troublous days. They were trained in the language of strife, as their mo ther tongue; and they used that language even delivering the message of peace. But they did de ]iver the message of peace, they declared the way of salvation, and they were highly honoured, and in vincibly supported by Him who sent them. The agitated state of surrounding circumstances grave them continual proof of the instability of all things temporal; and inculcated on them the neces sity of seeking a happiness which might be inde pendent of external things. They thus practically learned the vanity and nothingness of life, except in its relation to eternity; and they declared to their fellow-creatures the mysteries of the kingdom of God, with the tone of men who knew that the lightest word which they spoke, outweighed in the balance of reason, as well as of the sanctuary, the value of all earth's plans, and politics, and interests. They were upon high and firm ground. They stood in the midst of that tempestuous ocean, secure on the Rock of Ages; and as they uttered to those around them their invitations, or remonstrances, or consola tions, they thought not of the tastes but of the ne cessities of men - they thought only of the difference between being lost and being saved, and they cried aloud, and spared not.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hopeful Puritan Perspective on Suffering and Death In the throes of a long illness and confronting the possibility of death, 17th-century theologian Richard Baxter found comfort in the reality of heaven that awaits believers of Christ. During his recovery, Baxter wrote about the afterlife in what would become his best-selling book. The Saints' Everlasting Rest meditates on what Scripture reveals about heaven, helping believers live an abundant, God-honoring life in anticipation of eternal rest. Baxter encourages readers not to become distracted or discouraged by the temporal as he refocuses their minds on the eternal. Confronting difficult topics including sin, suffering, and fear of death, he also emphasizes God's sufficient grace and how the promise of heaven enriches life on earth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Saints, Vol. 2: With a Practical Instruction on the Life of Each Saint, for Every Day in Year Come to his assistance, ye Saints of God, come forth to meet him, ye Angels of the Lord, receiving his soul, offer it to the Most High, he calmly closed his eyes and gave up his soul, filled with so many merits, into the hand of God, in the-year 1221, the soth of his age. He left to posterity, not only the holy Order which he founded, but the most noble example of virtue. His heart was filled with the love of God; hence he endeavored most assiduously to prevent others from offending the Divine Majesty and to move Sinners to repentance. Frequently he passed the whole night in prayer and in chastising his body, of fering it to God for the conversion of Sinners, saying that he would willingly give every drop of his blood, if by it he were able to prevent a Single sin, or to convert a Sinner. It was his wish to suffer and to give his life for the love of Christ. Humil ity made him three times refuse a bishopric. He desired noth ing but to work for the salvation of souls, to suffer and be de Spised. Towards himself he was extremely severe; he con stantly wore a rough hair-shirt, fastened around the loins with an iron chain, drawn so tightly, that it cut into the flesh. The steps of the altar or the bare boards were his bed. He scourged himself three times each night, first for his own' sins; secondly for the Sins of other men; and thirdly, for the souls in purgai tory. His life was, besides, a continual fast. He never tasted meat; To live on alms and to aid the poor was all he desired. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Delphi Collected Works of Saint Jerome Illustrated written by Saint Jerome and published by Delphi Classics. This book was released on 2022-05-22 with total page 25000 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most learned of the Latin Fathers, Saint Jerome had an eventful life, spending time as a hermit, becoming a priest, serving as secretary to Pope Damasus I and later establishing a monastery at Bethlehem. His most ambitious achievement was his Latin translation of the Bible, the Vulgate, based on a Hebrew version, rather than the Septuagint. He believed that mainstream Rabbinical Judaism had rejected the Septuagint as invalid scriptural texts, due to Hellenistic mistranslations. Jerome’s numerous biblical, ascetical, monastic and theological works went on to have a profound influence in the early Middle Ages. Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the ancient world, with both English translations and the original Latin texts. This eBook presents Jerome’s collected works, with illustrations, introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
