Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Few Words About Lent: With Penitential Psalms, Sentences From Scripture, and Other Devotions Suitable for That Holy Season
It is a season during which the Church demands more than ordinary devotion from her children. Herservices are increased - are of a more solemn charac ter - arc such as are best adapted to lead our thoughts away from the things of this world, to contemplate the mysteries of Redemption. Every day she would have her children prostrate themselves in God's house, and pray that He would create and make within them new and contrite hearts. The services of the Church keep two facts prominently before our minds: our sinfulness, Christ's holiness; our need, Christ's sufficiency.
