Diffuseness has been purposely avoided, that the preacher may extend the subject treated in the way which may appear best to him. A preacher will scarce ever deliver, with zeal and warmth, sentiments which he has not made in some manner his own. Hence the matter of each sermon has been condensed into a small compass, that the preacher may extend it according to his pleasure, and thus make it his own. In each sermon there arc many passages from the Scriptures and Holy Fathers, and a variety of reflections-perhaps too nlany for a single discourse- that the reader may select what will he most pleasing to him. The style is easy and simple, and therefore calculated to render the preaching of the Divine Word conducive to the salvation of souls. This work begins with an excellent instruction to preachers, then follows with sermons for each of the Sundays of the Year for the Tridentine Mass and calendar. The sermon matter is excellent and will prove fruitful to preachers and faithful alike. This book is a most have for any Catholic library.
IN obedience to the decrees of Urban VIII., I protest that, of the miraculous works and gifts ascribed in this work to certain servants of God, and not already approved by the Holy See, I claim no other belief than that which is ordinarily given to history resting on mere human authority; and that in bestowing the title of Saint or Blessed, on any person not canonized or beatified by the Church, I only intend to do it according to the usage and opinion of men.
