Synopsis
Excerpt from The Science of the Saints, Vol. 1
The following pages form the first part of a little work whose purpose, as sketched in the Introduction, is expressed by the general title, First Lessons in the Science of the Saints.
The subjects which are treated in the present volume, as well as those which, God willing and necessary occupations permitting, are to be treated in subsequent volumes, have often furnished appropriate matter for spiritual conferences, instructions and con siderations during the Annual Retreats, made by priests, religious, seminarians, sodalists and others who desired to lay a solid foundation of Christian Virtue. They have, therefore, as is natural, a special connection with the Exercises of the Retreat; but the principles, embodied in them, bear upon all the actions of our lives.
