Excerpt from Short Instructions or Meditations on the Gospels: For Each Day in Lent In the original edition the Gospels for many Sundays of the ecclesiastical year were omit ted. These have all been supplied and will appear in their proper places in volume two of the present edition. In supplying these Instructions care has been taken to follow as closely as possible the style of the original work. In its present form the book should prove acceptable to both priests and people. In it, it is to be hoped, that the busy priest may find hints for Lenten Sermons. Religious and others who make daily meditations may also find this volume of assistance. With very little effort the Instructions may be divided into at least two points, and the prayer which is found at the end of each Instruction would serve as a beautiful spiritual bouquet, which might be called to mind from time to time during the day. The Catholic layman will find in the Instructions a clear exposition of Catholic Doctrine founded on the teaching of Christ Himself, which will assist him in the practise of his religion, and will enable him in 'case of necessity to give a reason for the faith that is in him.
