Heaven Open To Souls Love For God Above All Things Primary Source Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Heaven Open to Souls: Love for God Above All Things and Perfect Contrition Easy and Common in Souls Resolved to Avoid Mortal Sin Each one of the propositions at the head Of the following chapters has been the subject Of a paper which has been read and discussed in a theological conference under the direction of the author as moderator. The first thought Of undertaking to put the matter Of these papers into book form for the greater glory Of God and the consolation, sanctification, and salvation Of souls, was inspired by an earnest suggestion whis pered by His Eminence during one of these debates. But for continued public and private kind and courteous encour agements from the Cardinal and his clergy, in the face' Of many long interruptions and other Obstacles, the writer would not have persevered in the undertaking and finished the task, although SO fascinating in itself. In the various stages Of his labors he has received valued aids in multitudinous ways from self-sacrificing friends. These are so numerous that the list of their names would fill several pages and they are so modest that, as he feels, they will thank him for not thanking them by name in public print. TO manifest that he is not insensible to kindnesses received, he begs leave to dedicate this book on the goodness in God and in man, to these generous collabora tors, to his brother priests Of this archdiocese, and especially to his tried, trusted, and trusting friend, His Most Reverend Eminence John Cardinal Farley, Archbishop Of New York.
