of Meditations for the Festivals of Various SaintsThe present work is principally compiled from an old book of meditations by a Capuchin monk, Father Alphonsus von Zussmerhausen, Definitor and Vicar Provincial, published in Cologne in the year 1712, and entitled, "A Mirror of the Virtues displayed in the Life and Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ." That old-fashioned but most excellent work happened, a few years ago, to come under the notice of a member of the same Order (now gone to his eternal rest) whose name appears on our title-page. Judging that, if clothed in modern language, remodelled and adapted to the exigencies of our own day, it would, according to the wish expressed by its author, prove "useful and profitable to all who desire to lead a virtuous and devout life and follow our Lord," he gladly, in compliance with the wish of his Superior, undertook the task of compiling therefrom a series of meditations for every day of the ecclesiastical year, suited for the use of Priests and of Religious of both sexes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
