Excerpt from Goffine's Devout Instructions on the Epistles and Gospels for the Sundays and Holydays: With the Lives of Many Saints of God, Explanations of Christian Faith and Duty and of Church Ceremonies, a Method of Hearing Mass, Morning and Evening Prayers, and a Description of the Holy Land How welcome, therefore, must any book be whose special purpose is to inspire the faithful with a deeper knowledge and a more ardent love of Our Lord Jesus Christ. This was the object which the pious author of the Devout Instructions on the Epistles and Gospels proposed to himself. His Translator represents him truly when he writes: N o exercise of our lives is more salutary than meditation on the life, death, doctrines, and example of our divine Saviour. It is milk to children, nour ishing food to adults, medicine to the sick, salvation to sinners, consolation to those of little faith, strength to the penitent, counsel to the just. To the perfect it opens secret mysteries, and gives to the faithful grace in time and happiness in eternity. On this sole ground the work affords sufficient evi dence of its utility for the general faithful. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
