Page 252 - I know not to whom else to leave this — I leave it to you. Into this little book my dearest wife wrote her prayers and meditations. Not a day has passed, since her death, on which I have not prayed and meditated from this book. All the good I may have done, all the good I may have been, I owe to her. Take precious care of it.
Page 91 - ... true and real independence which God has chosen to give Creation, by the very fact of creating it, and still more by incarnating Himself in its head and centre, man. Never, as truly as creation will never be absorbed in the Creator, nor man, even the God-man, become (or become again) simply and purely God, will or can science and art, morals and politics be without each dieir own insights, their own true law of growth and existence other than, in no wise a department or simple dependency of,...
Page 38 - Oh Rome ! my country ! city of the soul ! The orphans of the heart must turn to thee, Lone mother of dead empires ! and control In their shut breasts their petty misery. What are our woes and sufferance? Come and see The cypress, hear the owl, and plod your way O'er steps of broken thrones and temples, Ye ! Whose agonies are evils of a day — A world is at our feet as fragile as our...
Page 51 - Veni, s(ancte) spiritus, reple tuoru(m) corda fideliu(m) et tui amoris, in eis igne(m) accende, qui p(er) diversitate(m) linguaru(m) cunctarum gentes in unitate fidei congregasti.
Page 301 - ... in the desert: there is each time one crucial point - to form no conclusions, to take no decisions, to change nothing during such crises, and especially at such times, not to force any particularly religious mood or idea in oneself. To turn gently to other things, to maintain a vague, general attitude of resignation - to be very meek, with oneself and with others: the crisis goes by, thus, with great fruit.
Page 37 - We shall escape all bigotry, without lapsing into such most unjust indifferentism, if we vigorously hold and unceasingly apply the doctrine of such a Church theologian as Juan de Lugo. De Lugo (AD 1583-1660), Spaniard, post-Reformation Roman Catholic, Jesuit, Theological Professor, and a Cardinal writing in Rome under the eyes of Pope Urban VIII., teaches that the members of the various Christian sects, of the Jewish and Mohammedan communions, and of the heathen religions and philosophical schools,...
Page 91 - Pray notice first that, when we say we believe in the Creation, especially when we profess belief in each single soul's free will, we profess the mysterious belief that God has somehow alienated a certain amount of His own power, and given it a relative independence of its own...
Page 47 - Place — it was his daily practice — and went in for a long long visit to the Blessed Sacrament ; and there I would watch him sitting, the great deep eyes fixed on the Tabernacle, the whole being wrapt in an absorption of prayer, devotion, contemplation. Those who have not seen him so know only half the man.
Page 284 - If there is one danger for religion — if there is any one plausible, all-but-irresistible trend which, throughout its long rich history, has sapped its force, and prepared the most destructive counter-excesses, it is just that — that allowing the fascinations of Grace to deaden or to ignore the beauties and duties of Nature.
