Although thy battles are at an end, and thyself at rest in the grave, yet I see the still. I see thee as thou were wont to ride over the desert plane, thine eyes flamed beneath thy lowering brow, from the dust and heat of a long, laborious ride; but lovlier still wert thou in mercy, then, as brave as any among the sons of men. For, soon as the enemy sinking under thy advance, cried for quarter, thy heart swelled with com miseration, thy countenance beamed relief and comfort to that soul The basest, who would touch the hem of thy garment, was safe in thy holy embrace. The aven ger of blood stopped short in thy presence and turned a bashed from the lightning in thine eyes.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Of the Rev. F. Cointet: Priest and Missionary of the Congregation of Holy Cross We are well aware, that however devoted he was to the glory of God, and the salvation of Souls, he does not stand alone. Had he, indeed, been aught else, he would have formed an exception to those zealous and saintly missionaries whose footsteps have for centuries hallowed this Western soil, and in whose traces it was his highest ambition to walk. _that he did so, most faithfully - that he reproduced in his person the humility, zeal, and unwearied charity of these holy predecessors - shall be the endeavor of these few pages to show. The records of history, whether civil or ecclesiastical, can point to few men, who, either as a class, or as individuals, stand morally higher than the Catholic Missionaries of America. Their names Should be their adopted country's proudest boast; for their memories hallow her sweetest regions; their labors first civilized her western wilds; their voices blessed her blue lakes and boundless prairies; their ardent prayers have merited for her the glorious destiny She is so rapidly fulfilling; and their holy ashes draw down bene dictions upon the soil into which they have mouldered, ' and with which, mingled. No one, possessing the least title to a human heart, can read, without profound emotion, a page of their thrilling annals; no one can refuse the tear of warm and generous sympathy to their sufferings, or the tribute of just praise to their heroic fortitude, their ardent zeal, their burning charity, which only the damps of death could. Extinguish; their self forgetfulness, and contempt of danger and even death, when weighed against the glory of God, andthe interests of souls.

I gave him my name and told him I was a Catholic priest seeking a location for a church in these parts. He said, there are no Cath olics here, what then is the use for a church? See ing he was prejudiced and displeased with my purpose, I replied, True, sir, there are no Catholics here now, but they will be here before long, and you and I may live to see the day when there will be a Cathe lic church on every hill around here. Yes, said he, when the Chariton goes up stream, good-bye, spurring his horse, he rode quickly ahead.

Doubtless the strength and often-implored spirit of my Father in heaven sustained me. But the bitterness of the struggle has long been past. Many a sleepless night, many a secret tear, many a heart ache did it cost me before I could resolve to meet it. They are known to God alone; and I should be most grateful, now that he has conde scended to accept the sacrifice so reluctantly laid upon his altar.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life and Labors of Rt. Rev. Frederic Baraga: First Bishop of Marquette, to Which Are Added Short Sketches of the Lives and Labors of Other Indian Missionaries of the Northwest In presenting this Life and Labors of Rt. Rev. Frederic Baraga to the public, we h0pe that we are doing a service to religion, to the Church in the United States, and to our fellow-citizens in general. The subject of our narrative was a. Man of uncommon ability, learning, and piety. He distinguished himself as author of many works, written for his countrymen, for his Indian converts, and for linguistic scholars. As Indian missionary he was most wonderfully successful, having converted more Ottawas and Chippewas than any other priest the writer knows of. His converts were of the genuine kind, deeply religious, fervent, and well-behaved. If in the course of time some of them, or of their children, degenerated from their pristine fervor, it was not his fault, but the natural outcome of circumstances and environments, over which he could exercise no control, and which were detrimental to Indian moral advancement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Missionary Journal and Memoir of the Rev. Joseph Wolf: Missionary to the Jews Near Bamberg in Bavaria is a little village, called Weilersbach, which is inhabited by fifty Catholic, and fifteen Jewish families. I was born in this same village, in the year 1796. My father was the Rabbi of these Jews. My parents left this village within fifteen days after I was born, and came to Halle in Prussia, where. My father exercised again the office ofa Rabbi. I had a strict Jewish education my father began to teach me all the Jewish ceremonies, when I was four years old; and told me that all the Jews were expecting the Mes siah, every day and every hour, that his advent could not be far off, and at that time we should dine on the great fish, called Leviathan. I believed all my fa ther told me, and I considered Christians as worship pers ofa cross of wood, and no better than idolaters. I began to read the Hebrew prayer-book when I was six years old, and recited it every day, without being able to understand its contents. Lily father sent me at this time to a public Christian school, to be instructed in German reading; but I had his express command never to be present it hen the school-master began to speak on a religious subject; and my father, with this View, de sired the schoolmaster to allow me to remain at home on those days which were fixed for explaining the Christian doctrine. The schoolmaster did so, and I continued to be an orthodox Jew. When I was seven years old, I walked one day in my room, occupied in meditation; at the same time I thought about Christ Jesus, whom I considered as a bad man.

Download or read book The Wise Man from the West written by Vincent Cronin and published by Ignatius Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the amazing story of the famous Jesuit missionary priest to China, Fr. Matteo Ricci, revered as a "Wise Man" by the Chinese. He arrived in China in 1582 and died there twenty-eight years later, having developing a deep knowledge of and love for the country, the culture and the people. Before Ricci's heroic mission, China was an unexplored land bordering on the vague, mysterious Cathay, and the West was no more than a rumor to the learned Mandarins, a distant unknown region lying beyond the bounds of geography. In the person of Father Ricci these two worlds met, and Vincent Cronin dramatically recreates the romance, the crossed purposes, the potential tragedy of that meeting. He shows us ancient China, the timeless state, with a civilization older than that wherein Christianity first found expression. Because Ricci loved this civilization and honored it, he was able to teach his strange new Christian doctrine with tact and sympathy. He carried much of the technological and philosophical wisdom of the late Renaissance Europe, and thus found favor among the Mandarins, the men of learning who enjoyed high status at the Imperial Court. He learned Chinese to discuss with them the problems in science and technology, and also questions of religion and the hereafter. He lived as a great scholar among great scholars and left behind him a memory worthy of the Christian faith he served. Well researched and written with an enchanting style, Cronin relied almost entirely on contemporary material only recently assembled, including Father Ricci's own letters and reports, and his account of China written in Peking before his death. The seed of Faith was sown and the crop, even after a century of atheistic communism, continues to grow in present-day China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Old Missionary Lieutenant-governors of the North-west and the Punjab. Half a dozen tents on either side formed a short broad street down the middle of a mango grove, with a strip of lawn between and a noble pipal-tree closing in the upper end. On the right of its towering masses of foliage stood the lieutenant-governor's pavilion, the British flag twisting lazily round its pole in the sunshine. The tents of the Secretary to Government, the private secretary, the aide-de-camp, and the officer commanding the escort, were ranged in military line on one side. Of the lawn. The less regular row facing them was made up of the tents of our small District staff, the judge, the magistrate and his assistant, the superintendent of police, and the old doctor with his melancholy flute. A structure of yellow native cloth for mess pur poses and public receptions stood at the head of the little white street, and was connected with the lieutenant-governor's pavilion by a covered way of canvas across the grass. A few clerks, the troopers of the escort, and the servants, had their humble pent-roof encampment behind the pipal tree on the outskirts of the grove.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Martyr of the Pongas: Being a Memoir of the Rev. Hamble James Leacock, Leader of the West Indian Mission to Western Africa Few missionary heroes have been more remarkable than the man of God whom the West Indian Church is now lamenting. Seldom has more encouraging success attended so brief a career; seldom has a nobler example of self-devotion adorned the records of the extension of Christianity. The history of such a man, if faithfully told, is well adapted to show the elements which form the able missionary, and to exhibit the modes of action by which, with Divine help, the Gospel may, in our own age, be effectually propagated. The Author is fully aware of the difficulty of giving due effect to such a history. Yet he has done all that a long and hearty friendship could dictate, to perpetuate the blessed memory of one whom he loved and revered.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Father Pat: A Hero of the Far West Soon after I arrived in British Columbia, in 1895, Henry Irwin wrote to me from his living in the north of Ireland, offering his services to the diocese. Rossland was then rising into notice as a mining camp, and Irwin, who had been missionary at Golden, and after wards chaplain to Bishop Sillitoe, seemed, from the reports that reached me, to be just the man for the place. Ao cordingly he was sent there, and the result answered my expectations. Very soon a spacious frame building was erected for a church, with rooms in the basement to serve as a lodging for the priest and a club for the men in the neighbourhood. But I do not remember ever finding Irwin in his own rooms. They were always giving shelter to poor people who had been reduced to want, whilst he himself had a shake-down in some friendly bachelor's shack. Nor was he unmindful of the wider interests of the Church, as he showed by taking a prominent part in the measures that led to the erection of Kootenay into a separate Diocese. When Rossland became more civilized and comparatively rich, Irwin left it to take up pioneer work in the neighbour ing boundary country. Here he remained until his health imperatively demanded rest and change. We were all hoping he would return to us in renewed health and strength after a short visit to his friends in Ireland; but God saw fit to order it otherwise. Beams mortuus.

This book was released on 2018-10-09 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mission Work Among the Negroes and the Indians: What Is Being Accomplished by Means of the Annual Collection Taken Up for Our Missions The Church, which to thc Catholic, is the voice of God, wishes you to put in the hands of the self denying workers in that rougher portion of the Lord's vineyard, the funds they need to carry on the work they have in hand. These holy missionaries would carry the glad tidings of salvation to the benighted children of the forest. They would plant in their midst schools In which young Indian boys and girls may be trained in civil learning; and churches into which all may be gathered round the altar of God, and taught to know and worship ln spirit and in truth Jesus Christ, their Redeemer, whose children they are, and, equally with us, heirs of eternal life. Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven It IS the humility and the meekness of Jesus that IS to Wln for us the great prize of eternal life for which each one, in his own way, is daily striving. Blessed are the meek, for they Shall possess the land. It IS the beauty of our soul not the color of our Skin that will be the Ieal test of our right to gaze upon the glory of God In paradise. Blessed are the clean of heart, for they Shall see God. Such then, in brief, 15 the object for which this collection IS tobe taken up at all the Masses on the First Sunday In Lent - a noble and a blessed work, and full of richest merit for all who approach it in the Spirit of Christian charity, and with kindly feelings toward those of their brethren, who, as you know too well, are utterly unable to help themselves. The heroic self abnegation of those priests and nuns who have gone forth into a sort of voluntary exile to spend themselves and be spent for Christ In the service of the forsaken and despised Indian, whose lot, to some extent, they share, is worthy of our highest admiration; for this, Dearly beloved, is not a field of labor which all would willingly select this life of perpetual self Sacrifice, ending only in death. The very nobility of the sacrifice they have made is in itself one of their strongest claims on your generous support, for (do not forget it), but for this their heroic self denial, you would not easily find a means of discharging a debt you owe a race which for two long centuries has been so cruelly dealt with f - a race, too, that has proved itself time and again, in council and on battle field, as brave, as skillful, and as magnanimous as your own. And. Yet, to our Shame, be it spoken, nearly all that are left of this Singular, and in some respects, mysterious people, are now. Wanderers upon the wild prairie, eking out, as best they can, a miserable existence on the paltry pittance that is doled out to them, and are to day, practically speaking, as destitute of religious instructions as were their pagan forefathers. Oh! Dearly Beloved, what a commentary is this sad spectacle on the boasted superiority of our Christian civilization! Take heed, lest Christ' S words on witnessing the faith of the centurion, and the. Want of it on the part of those to whom He was Speaking, may one day rise up in judgment against you: I say to you that many Shall come from the East and the West, and Shall Sit down with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob In the kingdom of heaven, but the children of the kingdom Shall be cast out into exterior da1 kness there Shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
