Excerpt from The Three Hours Agony of Our Lord Jesus Christ: Given at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, New York, Good Friday, 1916 Very few words are needed to preface the publication of these sermons. Persuaded by friends that they would be welcome not only to those who heard them at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, New York City, on Good Friday, 1916, but also to that larger audience of devout souls who gather year by year around the Cross on that sorrowful day, the author now prints them in the hope that they will be of benefit to all who read them. The Good Friday Devotion, popularly known as the Three Hours' Agony, is becoming one of the most eagerly attended services of Holy Week.
